2025 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2 – Capture the Flagg

[cloverleaf]

Celtics draft Gonzales.

They'll tell us about his effort and his defense.

He'll never see any meaningful minutes. Much like most of Brad's recent draftees.

Players don’t see meaningful minutes because we’ve been contending for a title.

We won’t be contending for a title next season.

Yeah, Joe is going to have to approach things differently next year. We'll see if he's capable of that.

As a coach who "doesn't like rookies", Joe won't feel compelled to play the 19yo who barely scraped together 10 minutes a game in Europe.

That 27 percent 3-point-percentage will be warmly greeted by Mazzulla...

[brackdan70]

Wow Clippers with the reach. I like YKN, but not as a first rounder.
3 of my top 25 still left.

[playa-hater]

Liking our possibilities at 32 now.

Only minnesota picking ahead of us. We should absolutely have some good players available.

But I'm not going to lie. I just don't trust brad.

The red flag on Fleming must be the size of Mount Everest...

[Gant]

Brad's lauding Hugo's competitiveness, playing with high level pros. Several good players are still available.

On yesterday's moves: Need to prioritize flexibility. They knew this was coming.

"Our owners are committed to spending." The 2nd apron penalties are real. That can't be overstated.

Listen, Danny Ange did some great things for Boston. And then there were times he absolutely sucked..

I am hoping it is not the same situation for Brad. Who has been excellent most of the time. But no one of course, always gets it, right. I just hope Brad isn't making AU. Turn from his terrific start of his career as pobo

[Kalela]

Konan reminds me of Mason Plumlee.

Yes! Fleming or Penda tomorrow please! That’d be a great draft. Thiero or Raynaud second tier for me.

Only for Brad to draft Jacob Small or Kam Jones. lol

[hugepatsfan]

Brad this week has been a massive failure.

Massive.

Jesus so help me if **** kornet ia starting nect season with either horford or niang at pf I give up on this team.

Do you think we need to build a winning roster next season?

No but get off the **** fence

Team isnt bd enough to getb star to pair with Tatum and far too **** to win it all.

Seriously

Niang!!!!
Simons!!!!
Hugo!!!!!!!

He iant building a team at all, juat destroying one entirely.

White/pritchard/davidson
Scheierman/hugo
Brown/walsh
Hauser/niang
Queta

Thats our team right now.

Its **** ****.

You gotta chill man. They were in a financial situation where they have to move Jrue on a 3 year $104M deal and Porzingis making $31M. Those are huge salaries to move and they had to clear big chunks of them. When you’re trying to dump that amount of money, it’s hard to be really picky. A limited number of teams are able to fina dally set up the deal you want. So you have to start by just taking those deals and now they have figuring out to do.

Real Madrid is a couple tiers above St Joes…

Is he a barbarian too?

Brad's lauding Hugo's competitiveness, playing with high level pros.

When they are lauding competitiveness, that means other facets of his game are lacking at the moment

[NYCelticsfan136]

Next season should be a down year. Maybe the nba could do us a solid like they did with the spurs or the mavs.

[leper-con]

Did Brad say anything about the trades .

[SuperDeluxe]

Gotta love the negative takes by people who have never seen this kid play.

[GreenFor3]

Did Brad say anything about the trades .

Nothing meaningful

I’m sure after two summer league games he will instantly become everyone’s binky

Then pay to dump something else.

They took the easy way, the lazy way, the worst way.

The other offers that were floated were better aand still worked towards shedding salary

Giving away players was not the only way.

Some day, Brad will trade up in the First Round, until that time comes, America will weep...
