2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

If you need a Center, Big Z is the best option available besides yao.  Let me know if your interested. 

34 and injured.

(But yes, that's better than Yao.)

who says he's injured? I havent heard anything about that

Having been accused of "not taking this thing seriously enough" and "messing around too darn much", the ORLANDO MAGICS have finally made a serious trade that is awaiting commissioner approval.

The trade, that is sure to send shockwaves through the eastern conference (where both participating teams reside), was surprisingly difficult.

"____ (GM's identity hidden until deal is announced) drove a hard bargain. But we upped our offer twice and finally got 'er dun," said Gainesville Celtic, GM of the Orlando Magics, as he walked out of a local theater showing "Blockbuster 3: The Reckoning".

Well, he missed 17 games, and was visibly hampered on defense.

[Rondo2287]

he missed 17 games during the middle of the season though and played at the end.  And to be fair, how many centers don't look hampered trying to match up on Dwight Howard?  Nobody was saying he was looking bad when the Cavs swept the first two rounds.

Rondo who is your go to guy?

[Rondo2287]

Probably down the stretch KG, however with a multitude of offensive options including a great pick and pop center, a young point guard who took over several games down the stretch last year, and pieces in Artest and Camby that are battle tested we plan on being a ballanced offensive attack.  But with one possesion left KG has the ball in his hands.

oh and need I say we just picked up a guy that averaged 16 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists last year.  As one of the go to guys on his team because of the Brand injury.   

However, with arguably the best Defense in the league, we dont anticipate needing a go to guy because we dont anticipate being in many close games, and when we are in close games we will rely on our defense to get stops rather than relying on a single player to go down the other end match baskets.

Boxers are still looking to move up into the late 6th exchanging their 7.20 and later picks to do so.

Boxers are still interested in moving into the 8th round using their 9.28.

To compensate I have a bunch of 11ths to negotiate with and apparently one 11th rounder has now had a price set as 4 picks in the lower rounds so lots of value to have.

I hope everyone is ready for tomorrow.  It will go much faster.  You do not have the time to just shop around (or ye may be passed). 


I might be willing to trade down one of my 7th round picks.


I need to be completely blown away to trade one of my 6s.

[ChampKind]

I'm willing to trade my picks in 12-15 for a higher pick, if anyone needs depth...

Anyone?

Chicago-AP- The Bulls are not commenting on a report that they offered Rudy Fernandez to Memphis for Boris Diaw. Bulls Director of Player Personnel, Underdog simply said, "We love Rudy."

Memphis is more than willing to comment, " We said heck no!"

just a reminder/suggestion --- from a team that's made 12 trades so far -- it makes it 100% easier to suggest a trade if you can see the other team's players/picks in their signature.

I'd recommend it for any team looking to make deals! 

[BigAlTheFuture]

Listening to any offers for my players.
