2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

Im just saying I think you significantly weakened your team with the trade. 

I agree with that.  Previously, we thought Chicago was a legit championship contender.  Now, I don't feel that way, unless the other contenders are hurt by injuries.

Chicago is still an excellent team of the future, but in terms of "winning now", they stepped back significantly.

Trust me, I know about Wilson Chandler, I also know now you are the one who is going to need to do convincing. I just dont see it.  Especially after you were talking so much about how great Prince was.  Everybody said at the time that you picked Chandler he wasnt a starting SF.  

Loved Prince. Loved Scola too (as did others). In building a team he was more important. Worry about your own. You have a buncg of outside shooting big men and no shooting guard. You're not even in the mix right now.

Hey man I don't know why you took this so personally, Im just saying I think you significantly weakened your team with the trade.  Everybody loses a trade once and while even you.  Its ok, Im sure you can rebound. 

I'll wait til others who are more knowledgeable about basketball critique my team. Love our big man rotation. love our point guard. we have a good veteran shooter starting at the 2 who can d it up and a young tough scorer with a huge wingspan at the 3 who can also D it up. We also have Rudy as our 7th man bombing away.

Just because people dont agree with you doesnt mean that they arent knowledgeable and I think that was kind of a cheap shot.  When people attacked Gilbert I never once lashed out at them personally and I expect the same respect in return

In building a team its more important to be complete. What Chandler and Rudy can do at the 3 is sufficient. It's like the Spurs with Bowen. They don't need a star at the 3. They can go with Bowen.

Sticking with my veteran theme:

Nets select James Posey

Nice selection.  That was probably going to be our guy.

[celtsrp33]

Heat looking for a quality SF or young big in exchange for Shaq + picks.  PM with offers

Maybe you shouldn't reneg on trades and send people beligerent PM's then. Just a suggestion.

The CrotoNats select Grant Hill.

Yes, he's old, but he's a "point forward", brings veteran leadership, and is the perfect slasher for our team.
