2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

Raymond Felton

Good pick once again someone high on my board. I had no idea how good he was until I looked at his numbers he averages a whole lot of assists. It's a mystery to me why the real Bobcats would draft Augustin.

yeah i didnt get that either. especially considering browns penchant for not really liking rookies. but i read somewhere the augustin pick was mostly his idea. now they have to move felton. i mean augustin seems like a nice player but hes about a buck-o-five soakin wet out there.

Under new management the Hornets are looking to clean up shop and get bodies.  We are gonna build around Howard and Prince, and try to play real strong perimeter defense, the new GM was heard muttering.  While trading a 2 time MVP is never easy...it's a trade that had to be made

Warriors trade Tayshaun Prince, Josh Howard, Rd 4 Pick 28 to NO


Hornets trade Steve Nash, Rd 8 Pick 7 to GS

FYI Wdleehi... this is the same exact trade you vetoed between the Wizards/Warriors... then vetoed between me and the Warriors 3 times yesterday.  Steve Nash was actually picked AHEAD of Chris Bosh.  You continue to contradict yourself.   You vetoed three trades yesterday that would have amounted to me sending bosh for Vince Carter, Josh Howard and the 4th round #28, because you said "It wasn't enough for Chris Bosh".   Tayshaun Prince is actually LESS value than Vince Carter.     However, you had no problem approving a trade of Chris Bosh for Rasheed Wallace.

This is the reason I quit the game.  Your contradictions and clear bias killed it for me.  I asked you SEVERAL times yesterday if you honestly truly believed that:

PF - Rasheed Wallace:  32  years old.  12.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.6 blocks on 43% shooting

was worth more than the two following players combined...

SG - Vince Carter:  31 years old.  21.3 points, 5.1 assists, 6 rebounds, 1.2 steals
SF - Josh Howard:  28 years old.  20 points, 2.2 assists, 7 rebounds 46% shooting

And you told me several times

Get over it.


I used the draft board as a value board.  Plain and simple. 

Your reasoning was that since Rasheed Wallace was a 2nd round pick and Vince Carter, Josh Howard (or Tayshuan Prince, Josh HOward) were 3rd rounders... it wasn't the same value and thus the Sheed for Bosh trade was "fair" while a Bosh for Carter/Howard was "not enough for Bosh".

Bosh was the #17 pick... Nash was the #14...   

Explain that one...

YOU ALREADY LEFT THE LEAGUE PLEASE STOP.  And just for the record I know capslock was on.  You are being ridiculously annoying.

[Kwhit10]

Buddy you already quit the league so stop spamming about your panties being in a twist.

Dude come on. Clear Bias? Let me tell you this was not the original trade that we agreed upon. He made me add things until it was more fair. How can it be clear bias when I was involved in both the Bosh trades and this trade?
Please just let it go. If you quit the game don't post on this board anymore.

No this is absolutely nuts.  You are Spamming the board with the same argument over and over again which is against posting policy.  You have already quit the league, and im happier for it, my message inbox has never been happier.  But seriously, there has to be a better use of your time than complaining on this board....

[wdleehi]

OK.  Time to move on.






There is one more big trade in the pipe line.   Expect to here about it in the next 10 minutes.

[StartOrien]

don't respond to him. easiest solution.

[wdleehi]

In case we didn't know where we are, Buck have the next pick. 

[Big Ticket]

don't respond to him. easiest solution.

As much as he does need to move on, he has a more than valid point and I definitely understand his frustrations.  The commish is not using much logic in his decisions.

[wdleehi]

Bobcats trade Rose, R.Wallace



Pacers trade Gordon, 4(13), 4(15), 6(13), 6(18)

[StartOrien]

as someone who just worked with him in order to make a trade fair, I have to disagree.

He's doing his [dang]est to make this a fun league, and spending a whole heckuva lotta time to try to insure it.

Let's move on.

[RichT24]

I now have 3 Fouth round draft picks and would like to move some, possibly in a package with Yao. Going on a quick lunch break. Please PM me some offers.
