2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Roy Hobbs]

As early team analysis begins, I have a thought; during team presentations assign two GMs to each team, possibly from the opposite conference, one to savage the team and one to defend it? An angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, so to speak.

Thoughts?

Second less elegant, but simpler, proposal, the Houston Rockets GM will defend your team from the Roy Hobbs of the world. Will do everything short of posting and re-posting articles about your players' knees.

Services to the highest bidder.

Haha.  Is there no integrity left in the world?

We'll continue to critique the flawed teams, especially when their GMs repeatedly attack us.  We'll also continue to compliment the teams we do like.

SO SAYS THUMPER!

Haha.  We only thump the picks we don't like.  Wasn't I just publicly complimentary to your team overall, as well as Evantimes?

Suns Send: 4th rounder (16), 6th rounder (24), 11th rounder (17), 10TP's

Las Vegas Sends: 4th rounder (20), 5th rounder (30), 8th rounder (1)

Suns Send: 4th rounder (16), 6th rounder (24), 11th rounder (17), 10TP's

Las Vegas Sends: 4th rounder (20), 5th rounder (30), 8th rounder (1)

Wow, the Flamingos gave up a lot here to move up 4 spots.

I'm curious to see who the target is, but that's a big price to pay to move up four slots.

Remember what I said about letting me revise history. The same holds true for glossing over significant details.

We may have over payed a bit, but we consider our next pick a very late dropper for his position, he addresses a position of need for us, He's young and desirable to other teams (we hope) and i find the position he pays devoid of talent once he's gone.

Thus, i was willing to slightly overpay to guarantee he is mine with the first pick after the break.

I would have preferred the pick giving up not be an 8th, but my want of a specific player made it easier to swallow, along with IP's spot as the first pick out of the break, which means the trade will definitely net me my target.

other than that, we pretty much traded 6th round picks (i dont consider the last pick in the 5th all that powerful, it's pretty much a 6th round pick already. the 24 spots hurt, but previously i was out of the 6th round entirely due to a previous trade)

People need to look at comments on their team as constructive criticism. The GMS that tell you why they don't like your team are preparing you for the voting at the end of the draft. It's like knowing the questions to the test before the test. If you know what people will say negative about your team at the beginning you can figure out how to counter their argument by the end. Or better yet you can pick players that cover up the pitfalls of your teams.

Or you can take it as an insult to your character and intelligence. Whichever.

ORL trades:  4th rounder (27) and 12th rounder (30)

SAS trades: 6th rounder (6), 7th rounder (15), and 7th rounder (19)

And the Magics would do the honors by picking for me this round.

[johnnyrondo]

Pick 4.29 is on the block.

Offers must begin with a 5th

BigAlTheFuture --- if people didn't know --- is a class act as far as GM's go. We thank him for his work on this deal.
