I'm not going to make it until Thursday night...

Chad Ford just said it is between Jackson and Tatum...leaning toward Tatum

On Mike and Mike, he also said Jackson was the better and more complete player.  He said he thought that Isaac was the guy with the highest upside, maybe in the entire draft.

I believe it will be Jackson in the end. Just hope he is not scared to compete and I pray he finds a jump shot...if not..he is going to be a highly picked role player

That's a fair comment, but he's also probably the guy near the top of the draft with the biggest bust potential. He's even more raw than JB was a year ago. I don't see him contributing a lot for a couple of years.

IMO, the pick is going to be Tatum, unless they're taking Jackson for someone else.

A little over a week ago, my life was normal. The Cs were going to draft Markelle Fultz and finally get a second scorer alongside IT.

And then everything blew up. Now, I have carpal tunnel syndrome from refreshing my screen so often, my productivity has gone to zero and I wake up in a cold sweat every morning, having dreamed that Danny traded all of our draft picks for every selection in the 2023 second round. Furthermore, just as the draft panic ends, I get to start worrying about free agency.

Ack!

TP .....you are not alone , I suspect few people saw this debacle unfolding .


I m dealing with it better now than draft night .......at the last second on the clock DA trades fultz ....I would not have slept that night....

now its done ,  it wrote another whole chapeter in Celtics history with this move .  We ll see how fate treats him on this crazy decision.

Im living and working in Europe, just told my manager that I would be in later on Fridaymorning, nice response: What, is it that time of the year again? Basketball right, draft/playoffs/free agency?

YEAAP draft!

Manager: alright no worries, can't stop you from watching anyways...

Isaac or Fox being picked by the C's wouldn't shock me either, considering how quiet it is about Fox and the C's in particular.

[tonydelk]

I have zero expectations for tomorrow.  I was excited about Fultz and that dream got crushed.  My next favorite was Tatum and I don't want to let the excitement get the best of me because I want to be happy on draft night.  I think the only thing that would be a bummer is if the C's traded the 3 pick for anyone not named AD or Porzingis.  Other then those 2 as long as the C's pick in the top 5 and come away with Tatum, Jackson or Issac I will be extremely excited. 

I'd be even more excited if Giles slipped to the late 20's and DA could buy a pick.  Of all the players I think he can be a steal at where he will be drafted if he's healthy.  Going into his senior year he was the top rated High School player and just explosive.  The C's need a young big to develop.  There hasn't been a big drafted by the C's I've been excited about in a long long time.

Why would they want Fox, who is like Rondo .5?  Isaac or Tatum!

Just when I'm about to sleep and think this will be a peaceful night.

BOOM. Phil Jackson. Porzingis. Here we go again... 

Yeah idk how I'm going to make it the next 24 hours.

[vjcsmoke]

LOL, I know how you feel.  This has been a huge whirlwind ever since we traded down from #1.  I was disappointed with the return.  But it looks like we still could swing a big deal with pick #3 plus add ons. 

Personally I am hoping for Porzingis trade from all of the rumors.  I'm not sold on Jackson - big character red flags, poor shooting form.  And Tatum has all the character - but he will be a rookie and he's not nearly as athletic as Jaylen or Jackson.

For reals. I've had final exams and about 20 other papers to grade this week, but all of these rumors have killed my productivity! I'm so behind! lol

[tarheelsxxiii]

I think the wheeling and dealing for the Celtics has probably come to an end.  At least that's what I tell myself to periodically focus on other things.

I did jack squat at work today and I've a quarterly review coming up. Pretty sure my internet activity on CelticsBlog will be a point of discussion.

Lol I mean it's been a "relatively" chill week for me but last night I had an assignment to do, due today, and I stayed up for so long because of all the rumors that kept popping up LOL.

Didn't get much sleep and now I risk the same tonight.

And got Finals next week for my summer classes... 

Shouldn't be bad but at this rate, I might actually make it a bad experience 

Good thing draft is tomorrow and not like early next week
