2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

I pay top TPs for every pick and payment is immediate.   

Portland will make the same offer.  Plus, you'll have the goodwill of *two* mods, rather than just one.

from Edgars bar/...

Powers corrupts, but absolut power is kind of cool...

You seem to forget, Redz is my co-owner.

So, if you trade with Portland instead, you will make the evil clown angry.

Edgar eats evil clowns for breakfast.

Where does he keep finding them? Youd think that after a little while people would notice all the missing

That's why Ronald McDonald's voice keeps changing.   It all makes sense now.

According to Stephen King, they hang out in the sewers in Maine.

I thought they came from outer space

Hopefully no one's giving away players after 6:00  Try to remember draft position. If you're trading a guy you took in the 3rd for two 6th rounders that's horrible. Or a guy you took in the 2nd for a 4th round player and a 6th round pick, also horrible. Also remember to "shop around."  Curious to see the trades that will go down.

I agree that teams should shop around.

I disagree that decisions should be based solely upon draft position, though.  Some players were drafted too high, some were taken too low, it may make sense to trade one more talented player for two lesser players who are great fits or who fill a gaping hole.

[Gainesville Celtic]

i agree with Roy's take ^^  --- at this point how a player fits with your team is as important (if not more so) than where they were originally taken.


Also a reminder that the ORLANDO MAGICS hold the 6th pick on monday (6.6) and might be willing to move down if there's a player you see that you really like.

We also have some later round picks that we're always ready to discuss moving up OR down. TP for solid offers to me or Lucky17

Speaking of which, Josh Howard is available for the right price.

I agree with that. At the end of your day, its your team, why shouldn't you have your players?

Two 9th rounders for Manu?

Your Josh Howard trade wasn't hideous. Now if you had trade Artest for two 6th rounders and a 7th, it would have been.

You got a 3rd a 5th and a 6th for a 2nd.

Haha.  Manu was one of those players who is going to be a steal, and is a great fit.

But thanks for the offer.  TP.

The Heat are taking offers for Shaq.  Any offer should include a combination of a young scorer, a young big man and/or picks. 

[Rondo2287]

looking to move either Aaron Brooks or Big Z for a 2guard, and or pick in the 6th round. 

[indeedproceed]

So one guy wants a 2 guard and/or a pick, another wants a young scorer and a young big for basically like level players...who gets their deal first?

I would also like to get shaq back in the deal.  But not from Miami. I want whoever wants big Z or brooks to trade for shaq then trade him to me in addition to picks and or a 2 guard.  Hope thats not to much to ask

Am I allowed to put trade restrictions on Shaq when/if I do trade him?

The commissioner's 4-team trade challenge is still in effect, if I'm not mistaken.
