He drafted Wagner and Banchero too


Banchero was a no brainer like Wemby. Wagner was the remainder of the Giddey and Kuminga tier - who Barnes was too.

They didn't even work out Suggs and still drafted him.


Neither Banchero nor Wagner were no brainers. Hindsight is 20/20. Jabari Smith was favoured to go #1, and Wagner was ranked anywhere from where he was picked to like 20th.

The raptors use all their picks to get rid of bad contracts but Celtics turn their 1 pick into 5 picks.

Masai/Bobby

Same song and dance

Never ending cycle lmao

Never put your hopes with making draft day splashes with this FO. Focus on UDFA's.

So many of these picks are getting moved. No way we can’t get in on this action if we wanted to

If they say otherwise, it's a lie. Tired of the excuses

I am thankful for the championship and always will be.

We hire a coach regarded for developing players and AGAIN fail to add more picks.

Enough excuses.

Weltman just got possibly the best role player in the draft.

Oh great. We're into the "a team did something, why did our team not do the same thing?" time in this thread.

Try to admit they're incredibly inactive on draft days relative to all other teams. It's unique to this front office even compared to other leagues.
