2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Scribbles]

I don't know what precipitated what occurred in the last 8 pages or so but this stuff needs to stop NOW.  

These accusations flying around from ALL PARTIES needs to stop.  If you have conspiracy theories and such, I suggest you keep them to yourself or do it via PM.  I don't want to hear anymore about alliances, fake screen names, deepthroat sources or anything.  

If you have an issue with something, you bring it to me.  Why people haven't done this earlier and resolved to deal with it in public forums is beyond me.

This stuff has gone too far and it seems to be the same parties over and over again that are instigating things.  After 4 weeks or doing this stuff, its become tiresome.  I'm guessing its pretty safe to say that the majority of owners in this draft and in agreement with that preceeding statement.  

I don't need to remind you about the rules that all 30 of you signed off to in the beginning and the possible ramifications of breaking them.  Too many people are toeing the line right now and that needs to stop.  

How dare you steal my peace-making thunder?!

You stole mine...and ilysfm is i love you so (explicate) much!    

As Jackie Moon says...ELE!

OK, thanks? I guess?

Goodbye everyone, don't forget to pick your hanEdited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s back up before you leave.

I'm just messing man, chill.  I don't let things get to me.  The whole arguing thing is lame though, I think most of us agree on that.

Not to dredge this topic up but that was awesome!! Actually I guess I did mean to do that. I'm just mad I had to work while all this hysteria was happening. Just accept it. Strategic voting is not just a calling. It's a way of life...or it's not and you just can't prove it. Either way.

Carlos Delfino, Nikolai Pekovic, Sergio Llull, and Pooh Jeter will start the season in Europe.

Also, of course, we fully intend on Carlos Delfino coming over and taking his rightful spot on the team at some point this season.

Carlos Delfino -- Currently, he's overseas.  However, if he decides he'd like a spot on our roster, it's his.  At that point, we'd have to make a decision between Jones and Gibson, and I've got to think that Gibson would be our keeper based upon potential and position.

Looks like Delfino has been signed-and-traded to the Bucks.  It's too late for the playoffs, of course, but in regards to the six month voting, please note that Carlos Delfino has replaced Fred Jones on our active roster (as has always been the plan).  Fred Jones has been waived.

The six month voting hasn't really had any set rules.  However, since it's been our plan all along -- as publicly announced -- it should be.

Bulls are publicly announcing that any player not on a 15 man roster that turns out to be good will be joining the Bulls then.

Eh, Delfino was on our roster, and we expressed repeatedly (including in our press conference) how he'd be joining the team this year.

That being said, we're not overly concerned about our 13th man.

Portland waives Hamed Haddadi, Alexis Ajinca, Gabe Pruitt.

Not sure about the whole Europe thing to stockpile extra players. But I'm curious what happened to my man Adonal Foyle?

Foyle was an oversight; he's obviously cut, too, since he didn't make the roster.

The only players kept in Europe were players who were playing there at the time of the draft.  Delfino's status has changed since then.

Either way, it's not that big of a deal; since our intention was to have Delfino on the team, we figured we'd add him at the 6-month mark.  The playoffs have already started, which is why we didn't try to squeeze him in.  It's not intended to influence anybody's votes, as Fred Jones is the guy on our roster right now.

I'm shocked -- shocked! -- that you'd be the first one to object to this, JR.

I was also shocked that you voted for Cleveland over washington 3 and a half minutes after Nick picked GS to beat Portland. Shocking

Don's was pretty straight forward that your roster must be paired to 15 by 11:59:59. You waited to the last second to cut your players, but forgot Foyle, the guy you jock blocked and ruled I couldn't sign and then signed him yourself. Of course I'd be aware that you didn't waive him. I wonder how Don's will rule on this.
