Now the Lebron jockey massaging is in full force.

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

Pacers got Furphy not Nunez

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.

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.

Indiana has done really well! I like that team.

Got it. Makes sense why they took Newton.

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

Bill Lumbergh · Post #1393 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:53 pm

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

Lol eff it take Bronny. Get a 1st rounder out of it. Not like any of their guys are represented by Klutch anyways.

Dogen · Post #1395 » by **Dogen** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:53 pm

This is like first round for me. I got one player left, and three picks before Celtics.

Hal14 · Post #1396 » by **Hal14** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:54 pm

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..

Celts17Pride · Post #1397 » by **Celts17Pride** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:54 pm

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