2025 CelticsBlog Fantasy Draft: '05-'25 Edition

[smokeablount]

Jvalin and I are working on a trade.  Just waiting confirmation.  It will not affect 41, but will alter who I was going to pick.

From Jvalin? I don?t have a PM

we are still working through it. So no pm to be sent.

Ok, thanks

Huh. I put it on the schedule and posted it on Friday in the draft thread. I wish we were drafting today. If enough people were here we could proceed. I know CFF is away.

I wish you guys picked today since I have nothing in the next 2 rounds. Looks like I might get stuck in court Wednesday so I may have to send someone a list.

[Roy H.]

I'm going to guess that Jvalin is after Luka.  From past drafts I recall that he loves him.

Moranis (Cavs) -

PG: (BPA)
SG: Paul George
SF: Lebron James (MVP)
PF: Victor Wembanyama
C: Shaquille ONeal (prior MVP)


PG: Luka Doncic
SG: Anthony Edwards
SF: Tatum
PF: BPA
C: Nikola Jokic (MVP)

Hmm.  Something based around Luka for Paul George.  Slide Tatum down to SF for Jvalin, allow Moranis to pick one of the elite PGs left.

Straight up, I can somewhat see that for both teams.  If either side adds value, I like it less.  I really liked the George/Tatum combo, and I think Doncic poses a defensive problem in any lineup.  So, I guess if I were Jvalin I'd be more likely to say no than Moranis.

Shaq also created a Cavs-Bulls rivalry, saying TMac would win just as easily with him as Kobe did, and even inspired a rivalry between the Bulls and the Bucks, and Dons didn?t even do anything

And he's already got Cavs-Bucks because of his hate for D12.

[Moranis]

Trade off, back to my original plan.

[smokeablount]

Due to 5 minute picks tomorrow, it may be a little chaotic. After 6 minutes, if you have not made a pick the next person can pick. It?s ok to be a gentleman but we don?t want to wait too long because we have a lot of picks to make to stay on schedule.

[Moranis]

I have drafted starting the click for next pick.

[Who]

Lillard is one of those guys I expected to go earlier. Probably 3rd round. I have been surprised how few PGs have been selected in the first 4 rounds.

[Roy H.]

Big fans of Lillard and Iguodala.  Iggy will always be a binkie, and he's a legit Lebron stopper.

[smokeablount]

Lillard is one of those guys I expected to go earlier. Probably 3rd round. I have been surprised how few PGs have been selected in the first 4 rounds.

Agreed. Lillard is truly elite offensively. The sim will love him

[Who]

I love Horford next to Pau and Yao. The interchangability of those 3 big men.
