2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

[LarBrd33]

Wait so how late was my pick? I was finally able to get on. I think it is extremely wrong that I was not able to make two trades that were OFFRERED TO ME. Then I proceeded to increase the package to appease the commish and got turned down.
Then I don't get to pick ontime because the site is messed up and doesn't allow me on.
This really does suck.

Not only that, but apparently the commish is considering approving the Chris Bosh for Rasheed Wallace and a 4th.

Quick poll...   Rasheed Wallace and a 4th... or would you rather have Devin Harris/Lamar Odom/Vince Carter/Ron Artest,  The #24 pick AND a 4th?

Wild...

[zerophase]

Nuggets select Richard Jefferson

one of the few 20+ ppg scorers left; fits well with our running game.

[Edgar]

The 76ers select the honorable Stephen Jackson

AND JEFFERSON!!!
incredible two in a row...

ARRRGGHHHH!!
darn
change of strategy...

[zerophase]

there's only 1 20+ ppg scorer now, if you care to gamble.

Rasheed Wallace and my early 4th rounder ( 8th pick)

for

Chris Bosh

I respect all you've done for the draft and facilllitating this, but how is this MORE fair than what I had traded for him earlier?

The commissioner just lost ALL credibility in my opinion

Yesterday he rejected:

Chris Bosh for the pick that would have been Devin harris, Vince Carter, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest or Richard Jefferson depending on what Kcat took.  He also would have received the #24 pick in this round AND a 4th rounder

Today he accepts Chris Bosh for Rasheed Wallace and a 4th... right after he REJECTED my attempt to trade Bosh for two 3rd rounders and a 4th

The heck with this game. The commish ruined it.

yea, i almost did, but im considering the future as well as the present, and i think farmer will be real good, and wont make it to me in the 5th.

probley would have done something diffrent if i had a 4th round pick, but i think farmer is going to be great down the road paired with big al, and very competitive now with ray back to a second scoring option.

we'll see if you guys agree when we write these teams up i guess hehe.

Just a healthy reminder that some of the personal stuff here might be best hashed out via PM...

Wallace was picked in the middle of the 2nd round.  Those other players are being selected in the 3rd round.

He has been on the team in the east Finals 4 or 5 seasons straight.


And most Piston observers says the team goes as he goes.  


If you didn't want him, why waste your time trading for him?

wdleehi... another reason why YOUR OPINION shouldn't influence trades.  I have Rasheed as a 4th rounder.  In my opinion he's entirely washed up.

Are you KIDDING me?  You would rather have Rasheed Wallace and a 4th than Vince/Devin/Lamar/Artest/Jefferson, a #24 and a 4th??  Are you kidding me???   And you're telling me you would have been successful if you were playing this game?

What a joke

That's it.  I tried to be nice about this.




You will not continue the personal attacks towards me.  You have an issue, PM me.  I will respond when I have a chance. 




Continue this, and I will have a conversation with you not as the commish, but as a Moderator on this site.


Just because this is a game does not give you the rights to break site rules.

while the trade you had to end up  taking stinks, for me, you ruined it more with your constant griping for 6 pages than WDL did.

i do feel bad you had to take that trade though :/

I'll let it go wdleehi... its your game so I don't blame you.

But...

As a followup on this recently approved trade of

Bobcats trade:  Chris Bosh
Pistons trade:  Rasheed Wallace, 4th round #8

I am now requesting the following...

I personally hate Rasheed Wallace.   I will give Rasheed Wallace and the 4th round pick #8 to the very first person who offers me ONE single player who was picked in the first 3 rounds.    Any of you can make the offer.  I don't care who the guy is.  In my opinion Rasheed shouldn't have even been picked yet.  So...  Rasheed and the 4th for one guy who has already been picked.  Please make your offers... i'll accept the very first one I get.  

[Scribbles]

LarBrd is totally ruining the fun out of this game.  Its just a draft to do to have something to talk about and do while its the the boring part of the offseason.  But it can't be fun now can it...someone has to complain about trades, the commish, or be spamming the same trade through PM over and over after you've said no.  I think wd is doing a great job making things run smoothly as possible however there's always someone who has to be selfish and try and ruin everything for everyone else because things aren't going their way.

When is the next pick due?
