2023 NBA Draft Thread

So the Smart haul is Porzingis, a first and four seconds?

Not after we trade that GS pick for a bunch of seconds during next year’s draft.

Good to know that at least 1 team understands how to create and use TPE's.  Congrats to Dallas.  That is how it is done.

What did they do? They got a TPE for Bertans. Did they use it already?

Yeah for Holmes

I like Nnaji. He reminds me of Capela.

On the physical side, he’s got it all. Huge, strong, athletic. Years away, but I could see him being good.

Nooo ... Leonard Miller is gone.

Dang you Spurs!! He could've been ours! Twice!

Brad is bonkers. Trading down AGAIN

ANOTHER TRADE

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.?

Celtics are trading Colby Jones to the Kings for No. 38 and a future second rounder, sources said.

With the new CBA rules these early second round picks like between 31-40 are more valuable then ever. Cheapest contracts in the league. New 2nd round exception means you don't have to dip into other exceptions. And the value between a guy at 35 and 25 isn't really that different. With that in mind makes sense to take a quantity approach and hope you can hit on 1 of 4 chances.

I know about 34 and 39, but where did 45 come from?

We got it from Memphis in the Smart trade.

I don't think we did?

[Moranis]

another trade.  my goodness that is a lot of trades from Boston.  What are we going to do with all these future 2nd round picks.

That could be a decent pick, maybe not lottery but reasonable to think it could be late teens.

[hwangjini_1]

brad is just trolling everyone at this point.

[hpantazo]

Darn it. Coby Jones would have been nice.

[celticinorlando]

It’s pretty obvious that Brad has no interest in anyone from this draft

[gouki88]

I was happy with the pick for a grand total of 2 seconds. We probably miss out on TJD & Rupert now too. Miller & Jones gone.

Think we’ve done one too many now. Unless one of those guys falls to 38
