2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

Crownsy check PM's, its important.

[Hoyo de Monterrey]

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.

I think this is a great comment, as a GM who has been both critical and criticized. TP

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

Was that directed at *US* KC?

I'm gonna make him do the thriller dance for every shot he blocks.

Better hope he doesn't try to eat the Balls brains.

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.

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)

I think I can guess who you were targeting, and if that's the case, yes, I understand why you liked him.  We considered him at #15, but liked Hawes better.

[Donoghus]

Just a reminder.

Please make sure you own the pick you're trading and please make sure you have the right number.

I've running into a few problems today and it holds trades up.

Yeah, I think I understand who Crownsy is targeting as well - if its the right guy, I think its a very solid pick.

I see two positions of need for crownsy, and I think I'm going to be ticked by the pick he makes.

This is quite the suspenseful lunch break! I can barely eat my chicken noodle soup

[ChampKind]

If anyone is looking to deal a 4th I'm willing to throw a 5 and 7 at you, depending on how the draft board looks.

[Rondo2287]

I was just looking at the draft order is is possible that tradetime doesnt have another pick untill the 9th round, or are did I just miss it

[Gainesville Celtic]

Did Edgar/roy pick at 4.15 or did they trade it or do they have 7-8 mins?

sorry wrong format:
