Official Live Celtics Draft Night Thread

[tfmiii]

i don't know what is so surprising about this draft...

Danny is simply acknowledging the superior insight of our resident tank commanders and getting a early jump on next year's



Hinkie better watch his back! [/greenfont]

You still sound as insecure as a 39 year old in a miniskirt.

Celtics weren't able to trade up tonight. That's not a victory for you? Right now you are actively rooting against the team because of a personal vendetta, it's gross.

Root for the team not you being right?

Hey noob... I think you have been a good addition here, but how about staying out of conversations that predate you by a couple of years?

The anti-tank crowd deserves all of this, even if we all wanted the team to do better.

CC, you know you're one of my favorite posters here, but even I, as someone who was completely neutral in the tank debate, think you're going too far tonight. You are doing exactly what you and the other tankers criticized the anti-tankers for doing: rubbing it in.

I know.

I started an account here in 2007 because 90% of the board was against the KG trade.

There's a thread right now where 90% of the board was against the Nets trade, that I was fully in support of.

Spent two years respecting people who wanted tank talk sequestered into its own thread only to have them come into that thread to post pictures of people with down syndrome and lecture me and others about not understanding basketball and being an inferior fan or whatever the ****.

Many were incredibly obnoxious about it, and humble was beyond an ****.

Given what an utter bloodbath tonight is, there's not enough sand in the world for me to kick in their faces right now, and I am going over the top to make it 100% clear that they don't ever need to do that again.

They aren't the better fans. They aren't the smarter fans.

We are.

[Ed Pinkney]

I honestly don't know how good or bad we drafted

Me also.

Being a big FF guy,, that was amazing

[Red2]

What about Dakari Johnson?

[PierceFan4ever]

So is like Philly gonna trade at least one of their bigs? I wouldn't mind having Embiid...

[Bill Lumbergh]

This roster is still a laughingstock tho

Not really. It's just chock full of middling talent, just like it was before the draft. We'll see how it shakes out with trades and free agency. I've seen nothing that moves the needle yet.

This roster is still a laughingstock tho

It is. I'm still hoping the Celtics can get Cousins & Aldridge. As currently constituted, this roster is a joke. First round, and out team.

Hmm, let's see.

Isaiah Thomas - 26
Tyler Zeller - 25
Avery Bradley - 24
Kelly Olynyk - 24
Jae Crowder - 24
Jared Sullinger - 23
Marcus Smart - 21
RJ Hunter - 21
Terry Rozier - 21
Jordan Mickey - 20
James Young - 19

Here's an idea, let our young players improve and get better and ACTUALLY reach their prime. God, has anyone ever heard of patience?

[Shamrock]

Relax with the commercials.. jeez

[Justin33]

Any chance we can still nab Upshaw at 45?

Yes if you belive the rumors he was red flagged by over half the teams

With the 45th pick do you still think it isn't worth to take a shot at him?

I would 45 is kinda a throw awy pick but they might have a euro in mind to stash

[Captain_Caveman]

Truth hurts though. Besides I'm less of a noob than a reregisterer, but I don't pimp status on a Celtics' fan site.

I've been reading this site for over 10 years. This argument has done some ugly things to this site. People are losing sight of what is important, the Celtics. I understand the reason, but the debate should be over. Over as soon as Ainge traded for IT2, it was clear it was over. You don't see the value of the shift fine, but to actively root against the team you pledge allegiance to? It's a bad look.

The debate IS over.

It just needed to be made clear in brutal fashion.

And it was. Has nothing to do with rooting against my team. Just pimpkicking some of the low IQ people who spent a year talking down to me.

FWIW, Ainge would take the IT trade back in a minute, bet on that.

He's the guy who drafts Aaron Rodgers then Tom Brady because "value."

[Avalanche]

Dakari or Upshaw at 45 please

By "making it clear in brutal fashion" was your other goal to "make yourself look like an ****"?

Cause if so, home run!

Right on man. You are the best poster on this board. Period. We need more posters like you not less. You were 100 percent right and now it's time for people to eat it. Tough ****.

[Afam]

I'm very serious are we competing to be a serious playoff team, or are we tanking ? . I have no idea what direction the Danny Ainge & the Owners are taking this team.

Certainly makes more sense to stash a Euro than draft a player who almost certainly isn't gonna make the final roster.

[Celtic Esquire]

For the love of God, please draft someone over 7'0 at 45.
