Who is Pascal Siakam. I mean seriously I haven't seen his name anywhere.

It's like Nogueira or Cabaculo
I'm bitter.

Well, at the very least, we won't have to hear LarBrd33's crap about "how valuable to the rest of the league" Okafor and Noel are if they couldn't even get anyone to trade for them.

Well if Danny believes that Jaylen Brown will be a star and Noel and Covington don't move the meter significantly, then he made the right move.  It all depends on how well JB turns out.

Don't tell me you think the 24th/26th picks had any real value.

Ughhh Zizic...

You guys are never satisfied are you

Firstly, we should've only took two guys in the first round and traded the other.

I wanted Davis or Skal over Zizic, but I understand the Zizic pick. My frustration is more about Danny not pulling the trigger on a trade earlier.
what's the confirmed trade offer in particular that is frustrating you? 

I was expecting Danny to make a deal but overpaying to get what you want is not a trade worth making.  Still disappointed but will need to see some concrete offer that was fair yet rejected by danny before getting irate
3 for Noel, Covington, 24, 26 is more than fair.  We should have taken it.
was that confirmed though?  I heard it as a rumor and I agree that I would have pulled the trigger on that deal.  Noel starts at center.  Covington is a solid back up behind Crowder and based on who's still available at 24 and 26 right now, we would have made out very well.

Yes, it was confirmed by several accounts, such as Stein and Woj, I believe. It was even on the table most of the day, yet Danny turned it down. That's why it's such a disappointing night. Danny is irrational when it comes to winning trades.

I'm curious about Brown. But the kid has to get serious playing time. Which means Turner has to go!
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

No, I actually wouldn't have took the two other picks (we don't need them). I think Noel has a better career than Brown.
you just draft draft and stash players like the Sixers did

Eh...
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

All of our picks this year are strong, physical monsters with extreme discipline and work ethic.
Brad Stevens guys.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."
