2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Roy Hobbs]

Josh Howard is on the table for a deal starting with another starting caliber SF. We can work out the picks depending on whose player is better.

Is it true that Phoenix is also throwing in a year's supply of ganja to ensure that Howard is properly motivated?

A whole year supply?  Wouldn't that be worth more than his contract???

Hmm...  I guess in the case of Howard, he could go through a lot of it in a year, no question.

Will Toronto still be providing Arenas "Best shape in his life" reports three times a day? If not, I will sorely miss them not.

[Rondo2287]

I definitly will keep them coming.  I am signed up for an Arenas RSS feed so anytime something comes across the news about him i get it.  I will make sure to pass it along.

No press releases by the teams making trades today?

I kind of like that Arenas trade for both teams actually to be honest. I feel like for Charlotte, it's "Screw it let's take a chance" kind of a move in a what do we have to lose kind of way.

With Toronto, they are a better team after this deal then before in my opinion. Rectified a mistake in the draft and got a solid PG option. Nice move.

Bulls would like to trade down from 11.14 for two or three lower picks. Send in best offers via PM's. Thanks.

I know people are questioning my trade for Andre Miller.  Although i did give up ground in the picks department my team is a win now team and I cannot afford to have a question mark in my starting lineup.  It was more important to me to get Gilbert out of my starting rotation than hang on to the second 7th rounder.  This is not because we as an organization doubt Gilbert or his abilities, but as this game is played it is based on a vote, and if the majority of other teams dont think Gilbert will play he might as well not be playing.  Meanwhile we picked up and accomplished veteran pointguard who has been incredibly consistent throughout his career and is very good at running an offense.  

We in Toronto wish Gilbert best of luck in charlotte, but believe we have found a very good fit for our team in Toronto.

I took care of it, just a little slow on the draw!

Rondo2287, why are you trying to get Shaq? Try to get a scoring 2 guard.

Rip Hamilton could be available

[johnnyrondo]

Bulls are offering their two early 9's for a late 6th or early 7th.

Well, I'm sure there's always a chance that there's still a GM or two out there that doesn't understand fair value.

I heard he gets it from Robert Parish.

Hey Guys, Im looking to Move Big Z or Aaron Brooks for an early 6th or a 2 guard.  If you need a Center, Big Z is the best option available besides yao.  Let me know if your interested.
