2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

[crownsy]

childress can still be a good future player when he returns to the nba.

right, but since were writing these teams up once a year, i doubt thats going to move many people with the 6th pick in a draft.



most will dismiss it. ( i know i would)

Cool. We can move on with the draft, now. The Bulls are on the clock.

i wouldn't say you got screwed jsaad, you were rightfully given a do-over.

I lost an 11/4 my friend...

I didn't need to move up to select Ty or another player I had rated in this area. I thought Childress was the man in round 6.

As I understand it, though (assuming you were being candid) there were two or more players you liked at 6(7).  You traded up in order to be in a position to take one of those guys.  It turns out, it didn't work out for you, which stinks, but it's not like there was no shot you were going to trade up. 

Anyway, I sympathize, but the decision the league came to is probably the fairest one for all involved.  Everyone is at least working under the same assumptions now.

Its a difference of

2 guys 3 picks

or

1 guy 3 picks


I would not have gambled the latter.

I'm glad some are empathetic but I can't help but feel very annoyed. I PM'd the commish about the subject of Childress and got clearence.

This would have been an appropriate time to tell me the handicap of picking a forign player.

I'm venting, I got a raw deal and now.......I'm moving on...

I again want to thank Wdleehi (tp) for taking on the responsibility of commissioner.

It is a tough job and I support your decisions.

I'm looking to move up a few spots here... so Steve W, Gainesville, zerophase, Evantime... anyone who wants to move down a few spots and add an 11th rounder, let me know.

Steve selects Jerryd Bayless to go next to Kobe.

[indeedproceed]

Steve selects Jerryd Bayless to go next to Kobe.

Hm..a score-first pg?

[Big Ticket]

Steve selects Jerryd Bayless to go next to Kobe.

And with that, I rescind all trade proposals to move up that I just sent.

Nice pick, Steve... incredible that he was still around.

[Roy Hobbs]

Steve selects Jerryd Bayless to go next to Kobe.

They need somebody to create.  Right now, their roster is Kobe / Foster / ?, so Bayless makes a lot of sense.

To aviod further confusion on the draft boardTy Thomas should be Tyrus Thomas
