2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Who]

Trade Announced:

Pistons send: James Harden, 9.11
Blazers send: Tony Allen, Jared Dudley

Awful trade by Detroit. Steal for Portland.

I actually like the trade for Detroit. If they put Jeff Green to the bench it makes their starting 5, Wall/TA/Dudley/Smith/Okafor. That's some great defense with a good 6th man in Green.

I think James Harden is too valuable to give up for role players.

Star quality only.

jgod you wanna move back to 9.11 to move up from the 12th to 11th round?

[Lucky17]

Sorry, the 9.8 is due in 20 minutes, not 30.

NY Knicks might have taken binky Darrell Arthur (think i've had him last 2 drafts), but will continue with taking good character guys who can shoot the 3.....


Jodie Meeks

Nice pick.

Love it. He's been top of my board for SGs for a while.

That is one option. I'd also consider starting DeRozan and Green to run with Wall and Smith. This move allows us to field an uptempo lineup, a defensive lineup and potentially a different type of lineup after my next pick.

Who you have hurt my feelings :-(. I think DeMar DeRozan is ready to take the leap 19 ppg in the second half to fill Harden's role.

Why?  He's a role player.  Harden and TA are 2 of the best star quality role player SGs.

I don't think it was THAT bad for Detroit.  They basically took their super-duper running lineup of Wall, Smith, and Green, and added another fast-break-beast in TA, while staying very good defensively.  I don't think Green is a good enough shooter to start next to TA and Wall, but they're still the best fast-break team in the league (especially now that Nash/Jrich/Ariza got broken up).

Bahku check PM's.

Harden is not a role player. He is a third wheel.

A part of one's core.

Ooh, Detroit has Derozan too?  You need shooting in the worst way.
