Ugh, I got a call I have to take in 10 minutes. Horrible timing.

Furphy is going to Indiana. Spurs took Nunez instead. They swapped 35 and 36.

Oh, right..hard to keep track with so many trades haha.

I like Nunez for the spurs. They got Castle, but we don't know for sure if Castle can play PG in the NBA (played wing in college)..so this way they are guaranteed to have a solid playmaking, facilitating PG.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

FReeman is the best available player, imo

I low key think all the rumors about FReeman possibly going 1st round was his agent trying to get the celtics to take him at 30.

But then when the Celtics took Scheierman, now his agent is trying to get him to the Celtics at 54..

Again, Freeman worked out for the Celtics this season AND last year..


There was some talk about how players and agents are driving the selection more this year by....


.... oh snap there goes Freeman.

Brad Stevens doesn't really bleed Celtics green unless he forces Lebron to send his son to Australia

Bridges is probably the best guy still on the board., but I will happily take Flowers, too.

Damn Pacers..had to take Freeman. Bummer lol

Oh well.

Best bigs available:

Chomche, PJ Hall, Watson (more of a 4), Jaedon Ledee, Nfaly Dante, Ariel Hukporti..also a chance we snag 1 of these bigs as UDFA and go for a guard/wing with pick 54.

Or perhaps Keshad Johnson at pick 54, who is a pure PF..

The Celtics at this point need to pick any player that can tie his own sneakers

Forcing it now. Best available player
