2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[The Walker Wiggle]

I'm offering the 47th pick (Gerald Wallace) and my 5th rounder for a top 15 3rd rounder and 4th.

Unsolicited advice from a crackpot GM without a 3rd round pick: you aren't asking for enough. Also Wallace can certainly start at the 4 as he's been doing since the trade to Portland, probably not at the 2. And between Wallace and Gay, I'd much rather have Wallace. Ok, Gay is the higher caliber scorer. But Wallace is far better defensively, on the glass and as a passer, while turning the ball over less.

Want to move up on the third
Offering a late 3rd and Change.

Agreed.

Also, some more unsolicited advice...don't list the pick # next to the player you want to trade.

For instance, there is a guy on the board that I think is the best available option at his position. There are other guys, but he's a legitimate 2 way player. Even if I drafted him at my spot (15) in the third, you can bet that in trading him, I'd be treating him like he was drafted a heck of a lot higher.

Its about what they're willing to pay to get an asset as much as it is about what you want back, and as far as forwards go, Crash is a great asset.

[StartOrien]

I don't like the Scola pick.

Again, to me, theres another guy out there whose by far the BPA and a terrific fit.

I will draft him at 3.8 if he's still there.

Best Value of Round 2: Memphis with Andrew Bynum and Philadelphia with Andre Iguodala

Moves: Dallas with Andrea Bargnani and Atlanta's trade to get Rudy Gay

Interesting Tidbits: Indiana trying to rebuild the real life Grizzlies and Phoenix trying to rebuild the 2010 Washington Boxers(warning Who, that team didn't even make the Eastern Conference Finals)

Combos I like(no particular order):

James/Chandler
Rose/Allen
Paul/Jefferson
Williams/Ellis
Randolph/Gasol
Gasol/Pierce
Anthony/Noah
Ginobili/Bynum
Love/Lopez
Bosh/Johnson
Durant/Scola

Solid 2 rounds of drafting with very few "questionable" picks.

Great job guys.

TP IP for a tremendous job thus far as commish!!!!

Hatin'. Just hatin'. No STAT/Bogut? What are you prepping for the playoffs?

[Rondo2287]

As much as it pains me to disagree with a go-gm i really was not a fan of the Bynum pick.  I will agree for where he was picked he has a great amount of talent, but I think there was much better value out there for the purposes of this game.  Spending a second round pick on an often injured center that proved himself to be a punk and a distraction in the playoffs is not something I would call value. 

Again, not many players with that much talent left at where who picked, but the overall package is something I would not want out of my 2nd rounder.

First off, he's 23 and though injured a lot a couple have been from circumstance(like Kobe barreling into his knee and landing on someone's foot). I think you will find his "oft injured" label will be disappearing.

Second, I could care less about his cheap shot. I actually like the mean streak in my big guy.

Third, after the All-Star break he was as good as any center in the league. ANY.

As the LA defensive strategy starts to revolve around him as the anchor, he will become a major force inside in this league.

Boo hoo hoo Rondo...our first fight!!!!!
