2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Rondo2287]

please get familiar with the draft schedule before you start spittin fables.

Yo you said you were drafting at 10:30.  In my book, people knowing my word is good is worth more.

ya, i gave GMs about 5 minutes to get in a solid offer before i pulled the trigger...i considered 1 last offer at 10:30 but decided to go with the pick.

Relax, bud.  You made a mistake, no big deal.

K, I made a mistake, and your best player is Josh Smith who is not the best player on a team that got swept from the second round

With the 38th pick in the 2nd annual Celticsblog Draft, the Dallas Mavericks Select...

Josh "J-Smoooove" Smith


We graciously thank all GMs for their offers, but didn't get that "knocked our socks off."

I have a soft spot in my hart J Smoothe. I like the pick.

He was on my short list.

I know his basketball IQ has been put into question, but that crosses the line, sir.

Haha, we'll make sure the team bus is extra long.

I felt like Smith was one of, if not the, last cusp superstar on the board so we really had to go with him there.  Gotta love the fact that he's only 24.

Can we stop acting like chillin's and just pick? I would really like to pick. I am sick of waiting.

Good pick for the location.  While I don't think you can build a team with him as the base, he is a star that can be a great addition to the base.

This'll be my last fawning over J-Smoothe for this entire thread, I swear. But what I like guys about Josh Smith is that you can add him onto your team, and he contributes immensely without having to be your #1 scoring option. There's plenty of scoring shooting guards and small forwards who can do that.

He also takes poor shots, is behaviorally unpredictable, and plays beyond his abilities quite a bit.

Once again, I encourage use of the chat room to get deals done.

Also, please clear up your PM boxes.  They have a limited capacity.

Again, he's only 24.  His offensive game is not completely refined yet, but lets not forget he's consistently among the top 15 in both blocks and steals.  One of the better help defenders in the league.

Is he an elite player now? No.  But as Roy referenced earlier, there's a group of about 5 elite players and maybe 10 more superstar players in this leauge.  When you're handed the 23rd pick in the draft, you have to make a few decisions...

[Rondo2287]

get ready riah, sneak in a pick early!

[indeedproceed]

Trade pending.

[Donoghus]

There has been a trade involving the current pick.

Please hold on.
