2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[The Walker Wiggle]

The Houston Rockets select: DeJuan Blair.

houston, you are the bane of my existance.

Coming from my esteemed Texas rival, I'll take that as a compliment.

[Scribbles]

Utah Jazz select Antoine Wright

[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

Correction his next pick isnt until the 11th

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Really looking to get into the 9th round. I have Vujacic and 3 10ths. PM me with offers

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.

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?

over and over again, to the point of ad nasuem  , but i'm still not really sold on it.

I have the same feeling i did a few rounds ago. i have you guys as 3rd or fourth for the title as currently built, if we had to vote today.

 but i can see you moving up to clear favorite when we re-do at 6 months. I can also see you plummeting based on guys you have picked getting injured/ dropping off due to age.

i was going to draft blair w/ my 15th and stick him in with strict orders to punish bosh every time he touched the rock...now i can only hope he's too slow to keep up with my frontcourt so that he can't follow similar oders from you.

Time will tell.

If Charlotte traded Gerald Wallace in a 3-way deal and netted Rudy and Chandler and, say, a high second rounder, I think universally people would say they made a fantastic trade.
