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

[Redz]

The Toronto Raptors select:

Kendrick Perkins

I love Perk but that's kinda high if he's out til Feb. no?

Need a big man.  The man's the starter on a recent champ and near champ this year if we could have squeezed one more game out of him.

The CrotoPickles will be ready in June.

Hard to argue with logic. unless you're not playing in June!

Good enough for the Celts, good enough for us

[StartOrien]

Ironing out details on a trade. Don't pick for me if I surpass my time

The MildlyPeevedShriveledUpCucumbers are definitely not the Boston Celtics.

Yeh well, I bet if I tried really hard I could find a video of a pickle eating a Boxer too.

 

My poor doggy's coming home in a few minutes after eye lid surgery this morning.  He has to wear one of those sad cones for 7-10 days.  Poor guy!

Awaiting confirmation of acquiring the pick from PHO.

I sent my selection to StartOrien, who will pick for me.

Or shall I announce here and now? The pick is due.

The Toronto Raptors select:

Kendrick Perkins

I'm not sure about this pick.  He's injured, so you need to draft another big that can hold it down all regular season and the pool is getting thin for that.  Also, Toronto is in the Eastern Conference.  Perk would be a big advantage as a selling point in the Western conference against Dwight, Yao, and Pau.  There are a lot of opponents Toronto will meet on the way to the finals that Perk really won't be much of an advantage to have on the floor for.

Also, nobody commented on the George Hill pick a while back.  I like that pick and had him high on my list of players to attain.  Will be interested throughout the draft in him if you ever like other pgs available and are willing to deal.

We have a blockbuster:

SAC trades: Tony Parker, 5(2), 6(25), 9(2)

HOU trades: Derrick Rose and 13(17)

Well, at least Sacramento was a contender for 18 hours or so.  Sacramento took a step backward in terms of its chances to win now, and it doesn't have the pieces on its roster to be a viable contender for "team of the future".

Houston wins this one, handily.

We have a trade:

HOU send 5/17 and 6/12
for PHO 4/25 and 10/2

The pick at 4/25 is Dalembert.

[The Walker Wiggle]

The Minnesota Timberwolves select their binkie Rodrigue Beaubois,
who next season will cement his status as the best french player in the NBA.

If anyone has any questions about the pick please let me know and I will answer them.

His broken foot doesn't concern you?

Nope he broke it in early August and the normal injury time for that break is two to three months. So that brings him back in early October, or November which either has him ready for the season or missing less than a month.

He's a player I like - and certainly a momentum changer - but given that's he's also an NBA sophomore coming off an uneven Summer League performance who's now expected to miss training camp I'm concerned.

It's possibly because I got rolled over by the Crotonauts in 2009; but I'm not giving the same credence to the argument that players that haven't been cleared for contact - or in some cases even to pick up a basketball - in September will be ready by opening night and/or won't struggle with conditioning and setbacks upon returning. (EDIT - Which also speaks to my feelings about other injured - but easy to like - players, including Przybilia and Perkins.)
