Press Conference Schedule is Up! 2010 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Board

[Evantime34]

Now that I am about to trade all my remaining 3rd round picks for 4th and 5th rounders everyone needs to make sure and not pick the guys I like.

I'm looking for a 4th plus for Landry if anyone is interested. He's a lot better than you realize please look at his numbers.

[ChampKind]

I need a banger inside who's strong on the glass to accompany Aldridge in my frontcourt, and with the premium on big men...I'll make a little reach and pick up...

Andris Biedrins

and hope he's back to 2009 form after regaining his health.

I'm a huge believer in Andris Biedrinis, but I wouldn't have selectd him here.

Pickings for legit Cs who can bang underneath were getting slim at this tier, though there are a few others who were reasonable. He's a solid defensively minded center who complements LaMarcus Aldridge well, so the fit was a bigger part of the pick than sheer talent. Biedrins also has a history of love in this draft, so I don't think he would have made it to my next pick if I had waited.

[Fafnir]

Am I on the clock?

Per your trade with Rond2287 yes you are.

[Lucky17]

I'll make one shortly. Some 11th hour trade talks.

[StartOrien]

3.27 is on the trading block, would need a 4 to start convo

[The Walker Wiggle]

Welcome our newest GM, greenteam17!

Shower the man with Tommy Points for stepping into the breach.

[celticpride07]

The Lakers will 5.12 and 5.27 for one of the next picks and an 8th round pick

[Lucky17]

Houston Rockets select Troy Murphy.

Perhaps not a favorite here, but he's an excellent defensive rebounder (top 10), and can stretch the floor.

[Rondo2287]

Nice Pick with Murphy

Great pick there, he is who I wanted at 3.30.

[Fafnir]

We have a second trade:

Minessota sends 3.20 and 6.23
DEN sends 4.23 and 5.11 and 5 tps

[ChampKind]

Houston Rockets select Troy Murphy.

Perhaps not a favorite here, but he's an excellent defensive rebounder (top 10), and can stretch the floor.

Great offensively, you've just got to get someone to cover his ass on defense to make him effective. That straight on 3 from the top of the key is money though. Plus, Danny Granger will be happy to have someone hijacking his rebounds again.

There's 3 guys that come to mind that I would've picked there. But it certainly sounds like you reviewed them all and thought elsewise.

No truth to the rumor that we are changing our name to the Pacers and trading Derrick Rose for a bunch of castoffs and misfits to round out our roster. [Apologies to Roy Hibbert.]
