Well it's getting down to the nitty gritty.

If they were gonna trade it, I figure they probably would have traded it by now..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Filip reminds me of Mo Wagner.

But he's worth a 2nd round pick, if you're the Celtics.

Literally just gave away three second round picks.. Which will all probably be late in the draft.. Boston easily could have matched that..

Maybe when it's #27 or #28.

Don’t worry, Filip will definitely be going to the Knicks

Don’t like Smith at all. No D

Not a good defender. But did show some nice weakside rim protection and flashes of defending out on the perimeter.

Keep in mind, he's only 19...will get better, lots of upside.

Also, that Ignite team he was on was horrible defensively. A bunch of 19 yr old kids playing against 25-30 yr old pros who were current/former NBA players..which made them all look worse defensively than they are. Plus they had guys in and out of the lineup all year on that team, no consistency..

Yep as I said earlier the Nuggets only have their own seconds, so if those seconds are anytime soon they won't be great.

Bronny better drafted with #31 (I know we dont have it). That way you can hang onto the rights, but arent obliged to offer a deal

The guy's a pretty good shooter, 19 years old and 6'9. If he was also a great defender he would have gone in the lottery. Anybody the C's pick will have flaws.

The Yucks have officially become a poverty franchise. They will be getting bounced in the first round until Giannis asks out. Their roster is a mess :lol:

Well at least AJ is going to a good situation. I didn't think the Celtics would pick him, but I had some hopes.

In a few years we'll see what a good pick this is for the Bucks. ****.

Are they swapping 26 for 24 with the Knicks so that they can move ahead of.... the knicks?
