Give me Sekou or it’s a bust. I’ve been in love with his highlights. Now with Al gone, he is a huge need. Trade 14 and 22 to move up.

Let's go Celts! Hopefully, some nice surprises are in store tonight.

Me too! It would be right there with the Ryder Cup as the sporting event I'd most like to attend.

I attended in 2005 when I was interning at MSG with Rangers/Knicks. Bogut went 1. It was hosted as the MSG theater. Pretty cool experience.

I'm torn between consolidating all 3 FRP's and moving up a couple spots if for nothing else to save on salary or just taking all three and see if one of them isn't a bust. Given his draft history in the middle, I'm leaning with taking all three for probability sake.

It's somewhat hopeful to go back through the last 10 years of drafts and laugh at all the mid to late first rounders that ended up being stars or at least serviceable.

I need whatever positivity I can get.

NBA Draft and first day of summer vacation. Only decision now is when to get my drink on.

Are we really gonna let Danny go into another draft? Have zero expectations then.

Should just take all highest upside players and hope to get lucky.

LOL. Here the draft starts at 1:30 AM, so I am up the whole night watching…then every year I take the day off work on Friday...

That is how much I love the draft! :lol:

Wife thinks I am crazy but this is probably my favourite sports night of the year along with the trade deadline...

Hopeful that we can get a big and shot make or a shot creator. That's my top 2 needs. With Baynes gone, I have no idea what we gonna do with the big man rotation as there are no bigs currently on the team sans Williams and Schon(who might ge traded or waived as well...)

Made 3 in a row after pretty much never being on one. The seasons where we rebuild always get more traffic.

I can see 51 going to unload Baynes. I think 22 is too high for that, but maybe 22, baynes for a future 2nd.

Do we seriously need to use 51 to dump Baynes? The guy could help any contender and is cheaper than half of the first rounders.

Unloading first to get rid of Baynes would sicken me. Still a decent nba player. If need be, I would just prefer Celtics buy him out for 1 to 1.5 million if need be. He probably takes that and I could easily see a team he really wants to play for playing him 3-4 million in a one year deal or more in a 2 year deal. Maybe even the Lakers if they can't get a max player worth paying or with some partial exception.

Beyond moving down a trivial amount in draft or letting go of a 2nd rounder, Ainge shouldn't be paying much to get rid of Baynes 1 year fairly reasonable contract.

It's a little odd that the Knicks are doing these last minute workouts with guys other than RJ... makes me wonder if they're looking to trade back a few spots:

Also could be that they are hosting workouts for other GMs to attend that they're trying to keep secret while they shop the #3 pick? I don't know, just weird to be doing this on the day of the draft.

Would you Be In Favor of a 3rd Round to the Draft?
