BOS and ATL were linked throughout in trade rumors. If we are moving up, them taking Okonwu seems to keep that alive.

If the rumors of them being interested in signing Hayward are true, them taking/keeping Okongwu seems to make sending Dedmon out via S&T a big part of that and open possibilities for us to try and jump in to a degree. Maybe getting something back for taking Dedmon's deal and letting them sign someone else.

Why do we figure the Hawks are moving Okongwu?

These huge parties for each pick is perfectly symbolic of why our country is awash in Covid while other civilized nations have gov't enforced lockdowns and aren't dying by the hundred of thousands.

Makes me sad to see.

No reaches yet, just reshuffling players we knew we would be gone at 14. It is going to take an international reach or two for solids to slide.

Thank god someone drafted Okungwu so there is another mediocre big out there that Celtics fans can pine over for the next five years.

On some level I get it. This is a culmination of everything they have ever worked for and will set their families up for life.

Is it me or this this dragging more than usual? Why does it take so long to announce the pick when they already tweeted it 5 minutes ago?
