2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

[ChampKind]

I was thinking Edgar, the Commish's office could use a assistant like Curry.  Someone to make sure there are no leftovers after office parties.  Someone to throw out unruly GMs.




Give him to the office, I can give you an compensatory pick in the draft.


31st pick in the 15th round or 1st pick in the 16th round.  Your choice. 

Curry for a caravan - periwinkle blue.

"It's a fair deal, take it."

[zerophase]

If Curry is worth Monta and a 7th, what's Murphy worth?

lebron brick james...

[Edgar]

I got the offer from Edgar of: Eddy Curry and a 7th Rounder for Monta Ellis.

But dont come here crying when yout team stays mediocre to lack of sizep
people satanize Curry.
but hes better than Perk offensively and still a big body
yes hes lazy but he can florish without marbury giving him the ball
All knicks are a mess not all their mediocrity comes from curry.

If you throw in the money for a treadmill, a person trainer, a personal chef and a stomach stapling in i'll consider a trade for Curry. Maybe even hire someone who's sole job is to stay around curry and call him a fat piece of crap everytime he tries to eat anything.

Ok I get that u dont think curry worth a pick but
I wonder if the worldl champion Boston celtics would sign him for vet min
to backup their starting center
finally we are talking rount 7th here
I am not trading him for Duncan
I am trading him for servicable backup players....
So Hes Still available

and I will repeat for last time
people satanize curry here, his best season numbers are stll better than half centers in the league, of course our beloved perk included.

and yes this is surreal basketball so why not I will send a reduce fat fast dotation with that deal
What could clifford Ray do with that body....mmm will see

[GaBerkowitz]

So my team right now is

PG- Jarret Jack
SG- Josh Howard
SF- Tayshaun Prince
PF- Jason Maxiell
C- Nedad Kristic

Bench: Linas Kleiza

Due to the mismanagement of my team prior to when I took over I was left in a tough spot.  I realize my team isn't in position to contend for a title, but I do think (depending on the filling out of the bench) this team could compete for a playoff spot.  Scoring is the biggest issue I see right now.  A backup PG, and a shooter on off the bench are probably my biggest needs right now...any other thoughts/critiques.  I also think I overpaid for Kristic (2 6ths for a 5th and 9th)  I really thought he was the best option for a low post big man who can rebound a little and score on the block.  I think Howard has some potential, but is overrated more than anything else.  I like Jack as someone who can steady the ship, play physical D, and get the team into the offense.  The real potential in this team lies in Kleiza and Maxiell (IMO) If one of those guys can average 16-18 and the other can contribute 11-14.  I like the chances. 

Any thoughts?

He just is the type of player no one wants to root for highly skilled but highly unmotivated. He plays no defense and rebounds very poorly for his size (two things that effort plays a big part in), but if he gets the ball inside he can score on almost anyone because of his strength.

[Roy Hobbs]

Sorry to hold things up...  I actually *do* have a job, believe it or not.

I'm on a ten-minute break, so the Blazers select Brandan Wright.  He's one of the very, very few guys left with All-star potential, and frankly, at this point my team is deep enough to take one gamble.

You're killing me Roy, I bet if you didn't draft him now he would have slipped a lot lot further. Dwight Howard will enjoy dunking on all 175 pounds of Wright.

sell out ...   



Rockets on the clock, right?

This was the guy I really wanted... but two very young and very untested power forwards was too much of a gamble for me to take.  Nice pick.  Again.

[Rondo2287]

I dunno ive never been sold on wright.  Watching him at UNC it seemed like 3/4 of his points came on fast break dunks.  I didnt see much of him this year though so i could have missed some of his serious potential.

[JSD]

Rockets select: Luke Ridnour

[indeedproceed]

Rockets select: Luke Ridnour

Is he still any good? How come no one talks about him anymore

The answer to that question is Kevin Durant.

Didn't Kristic just sign a deal over seas? Even if you could argue he will play, he's not close to 100% now, and no one knows if he ever will be again. If he could contribute anything this season, he'd be on a squad in the states.

Rockets select: Luke Ridnour

I was gonna ask the same thing --- and i mean the question honestly...  Is it fallout with PJ Carlisemo or just a matter of SEA bringing in too many other PGs??

He looked like a better PG prospect than most his first 3 years, got a decent extension, then lost his job to Watson... Wasn't Ridnour the starting PG on the team w/ Ray Allen aand Rashard Lewis that Nate McMillan got deep in teh playoffs 2-3 years back?
