At this point it's whatever.

Before 2024, some of the Celtic fans were just asking for 1 championship.

Just 1, they say.

Markovic too :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Well, I have been looking at film and nothing seems impressive. But so many people on here are very analytical. The kid shot 27% from 3. Let that sink in.

He's also going to be playing behind so many players. So why bother even drafting him.

Meanwhile, at this moment, we only have one center on the roster, so even if we sign cornet, that is a joke at center.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Hugo's ranks 26th on Givony's big board. Of course, some expect Brad to draft a top 10 talent at 28. :crazy:

No but get off the **** fence

Team isnt bd enough to getb star to pair with Tatum and far too **** to win it all.

Seriously

Niang!!!!
Simons!!!!
Hugo!!!!!!!

He iant building a team at all, juat destroying one entirely.

White/pritchard/davidson
Scheierman/hugo
Brown/walsh
Hauser/niang
Queta

Thats our team right now.

Its **** ****.

I reckon it might be pretty mediocre and we just shut down Jaylen and a couple of others by Feb like the Sixers did and hope for some lottery luck

Yes but a big chunk of it just happened. Are you expecting much to happen in july and august?

Yeah, Joe is going to have to approach things differently next year. We'll see if he's capable of that.


As a coach who "doesn't like rookies", Joe won't feel compelled to play the 19yo who barely scraped together 10 minutes a game in Europe.

Joe’s been coaching title contenders in all of his 3 seasons.

Hardly surprising with such high expectations a rookie doesn’t sniff the floor.

There are zero expectations next season

He's very young and probably won't play much next year. Not sure what some expect when they're picking 28.

He probably knows at least 1 of them will still be there at 32.

But maybe Hugo is the only wing he wants who's still on the board so he takes Hugo at 28, knowing some of those bigs will still be there at 32.

If the Hugo pick signals we are looking to get younger..I am hoping for Markovic at 32. That could be a nice dup. Hugo is more of a defender..Markovic more of an offensive player. 1 wing and 1 big. Both 19 yrs old. Both overseas players who play hard and have good basketball IQ.


That's most likely his plan. I had Hugo going 24. I didn't think he would be there at 28.

We have the 2nd overall pick tomorrow. Hoping we keep 32.

I want the best of Maxime Raynaud, Ryan Kalkbrenner or Johni Broome. Fleming might still be available.

I don't know. Maybe trades? Free agency?
