2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Lucky17]

Why isn't anyone talking about this Mehmet Okur for Kemba Walker blockbuster?!?!?!

I actually like it a lot for OKC, could see some use.

Odds that Okur returns to the NBA? Free agent, rehabbing a serious injury, seems an ideal candidate to play back home in Turkey.

Trade Announced:

Kings Send: Jarret Jack
Orlando Sends: Brandon Jennings

talent wise, that's pretty one sided. But I think it's probably a better fit for Orlando.

Definitely a talent disparity. Orlando trying to clear some cap space with the move?

I really don't understand this move from the Kings perspective. Jack was a perfect back up for Chauncey, in that he could still flourish alongside LeBron.

Except, questions of fit aside Jennings is the far better player.

But when you're building a contender fit matters more than talent. I know you and your KG/Blake Griffin frontcourt disagree, but still.

[Who]

I don't think the J.Jack for B.Jennings swap adds anything to either side.

A lateral move.

Pretty stoked to get some more firepower off the bench.  But Jack makes more sense for Orlando as a pure PG to run the bench unit for them

How much is this gonna cut into CHauncy's minutes?

I think you are probably talking 28 minutes for chauncey 14 minutes for Jennings, but that would be something I will have to bounce of Nick first.  Chauncey is getting up there and during the regular season we don't want to burn him out.  

Probably a sound move.

The Boston Celtics select:  Aaron Gray.

Nice pick. I almost took him over Tolliver but I realized he had a good playoffs and that was about it.

I just remember Chris Paul raving about him and the announcers saying "Without Aaron Gray this Hornets team is at a real disadvantage".

I think with your team's height Tolliver was a  better fit whose shortcomings (get it?) would be shielded better, whereas my team needed the bulk.

Okurs a free agent? GET HIM DANNY!

The Denver Nuggets select the vanilla gorilla Joel Przybilla

Touché. Except the Kings needed to bring in more talent to even be considered a contender. I like this move for that team a lot.

[Bahku]

With their 19th pick in the 12th round of the 2011 CB Draft, the South Beach Samurai, (aka Miami Heat), select: Zadrunas Ilgauskas.

I believe he's retiring. Take Big Z then.

And let it be known, it was on the front page:

****Yahoo List of Players: Non Exhaustive, And Not All Players Are Actually Active, So Do Your Homework. No Mulligans. ****

So does Bahku's re-pick count?

Yeah, its the 11th round and Big Z is retiring anyways, and its the first time this has happened. 

The same courtesy won't be extended again.

EDIT: I guess he's not retiring. Still, not a big factor and not a big deal.

You can stay with my first pick or void it ... someone may want Z, it's not a problem at all.

My mistake, he has one year left.

I didn't think the Kings needed more talent. And Jennings may have more upside, he's done next to nothing to develop his talent, shoots a horrible percentage and his team regressed this year with him at the point because of how he dominates the ball.

Sources said Monta is on his way Out of El Salvador

Last chance to hear offers.


2 players for monta available and dont come with a 11th rounder because comish will veto that
I need at least one starter and reliable bench guy

I would argue his team regressed to to injuries to maggette, bogut and salmons.  Jennings didnt do much different
