2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Gainesville Celtic]

Yeah JR --- Wallace is an injury risk.

Unlike any member of the CrotorNats starting 10. Certainly not Redd, O'Neal, O'Neal, West, Turiaf,...

I appreciate the posturing, but be candid:  would you trade Rudy and Chandler for Wallace?  I just can't see it.

Heat select Nicolas Batum

Heat select Nicolas Batum

Nice pick.

Heat select Nicolas Batum

very good pick.  i had him on my board for a while but didnt have the minutes for him.

[crownsy]

Detroit: Gerald Wallace

Chicago: Rudy Fernandez, Wilson Chandler, 10th rounder (21)

I like this better for Detroit, by a long shot.

I don't, what is realistic going to be left at 10th (21) that replaces a starting SF of wallaces caliber? and considering your teams ummm... colorful injury history, not sure thats a concern i'd want to raise as a weakness  

this is one reason why im turning down offers for my players based on a guy and picks, which is what im currently getting.

I don't see the value. I'll wait until the post draft trade period and get real guys back, thanks, not picks in the low end of a draft where past round 10 your talking about the scrubbiest of the scrubs.

The las vegas team will be more than happy to shop some of the players its getting PM's about, but it won't be for a replacement guy and 2 10th round picks.

The Houston Rockets select: DeJuan Blair.

He should really help me in the 2K9 sim.  He is nasty inthat game...

Probably not. I don't disagree with being down on the trade. Just that the same criticisms you use many times are the sames ones you've brushed off when suggested for your team.

TP....what that really means is your marketing department is better than everyone elses... can't fault you for that.

The Houston Rockets select: DeJuan Blair.

houston, you are the bane of my existance.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Heat select Nicolas Batum

Adding my compliments as well. A starter on Portland. One of the league's best young wing defenders. And a player that shouldn't have fallen as far as he did.

A player I looked hard at in the last round, and may regret passing on.

it is a weakness
we are aware of our weakness and thats why we carry 2 starters in every position and
we are drafting our third team right now.
3 player in 3rd team in this round BTW
did i told u i love my team?

[Rondo2287]

I think we should wait on judgement on the Detroit and Chicago trade untill Chicago Fills out the rest of his bench.  He only has 7 players right now and we are closing out the 9th round. And his next pick isnt untill the tail end of the 10th round

[Lucky17]

Chicago definitely addressed a major concern in the starting lineup. Bell is still a very good option at SG.

Very good defensive starting five, but also one that can score. If depth can be addressed through later picks and trades, I think it's a net gain for Chicago.

Heat select Nicolas Batum

this is a really nice pick.

This kid is 20 years old, he started 70 games for the blazers last year, played almost 20 mins a game, and I still have no idea what the heck he's good at.
