2016 NBA Draft Game Thread

At least not Buddy.

BigSoxFan · Jun 23, 2016

If no trade, fucking hate that pick.

DisgruntledSoxFan77 · Jun 23, 2016

lmao What the fuck did Danny just do?? All I have is he got Dunn and Brown confused...

snowmanny · Jun 23, 2016

Well that's confusing and uninspiring.

savage362 · Jun 23, 2016

This has to be part of something else? Right?

SoxFanInPdx · Jun 23, 2016

Brown was who I voted for in the poll. Don't hate that pick at all.

Grin&MartyBarret · Jun 23, 2016

Seems like Danny's developing a bit of a reputation around the league for asking for too much in trades. It'll be interesting to find out what was discussed.

Ainge has rarely done draft day well, this is nothing new.

Care to substantiate this non-sequitur?

The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa · Jun 23, 2016

Colangelo did a -these are not the droids you're looking for- mind trick on Ainge.

pokey_reese · Jun 23, 2016

Woooo! A top-10 player!

Wait, we had the THIRD pick?!

PedroKsBambino · Jun 23, 2016

Well.....that's a heck of a bet on Celts scouting. I really hope they got it right, as this does not feel like the right guy to me. Especialy given the reported trade options (obviously, rumors are what they are).

Kind of hope Phoenix trades the pick so we knwo for sure what Dunn was worth in a deal

RoDaddy · Jun 23, 2016

good player no doubt so at least there's that

Jeff Frye's Face Mask · Jun 23, 2016

I mean, I love the fact that he wore a coat and tie to all of his classes. So there's that.

Marbleheader · Jun 23, 2016

After the top 2, Brown has as good of a chance as anyone left to be a solid NBA player.

This. Just a bit bummed because of the last minute Butler rumors.

Jed Zeppelin · Jun 23, 2016

I assume the C's just put a fucktonne of weight on their workouts.

Cellar-Door · Jun 23, 2016

Fine with this. 2nd on my board after Bender, much like prefer him to Okafor. I didn't love the Philly quantity over quality Noel offer either.

cardiacs · Jun 23, 2016

Can't believe I stayed up till 2am for this. Hope better news awaits in the morning. For example the trade with MIL

Remembering last year when it would have cost Danny a fortune to move up for Winslow. Monkey see, monkey do.

heavyde050 · Jun 23, 2016

Not too thrilled. Seems like a huge reach. To be fair Ainge did trade for Telfair. Other than the Nets trade, Ainge has not been stellar on draft day.

DJnVa · Jun 23, 2016

Bender going #4

The Social Chair · Jun 23, 2016

All of these players are crap shoots but I'm mostly bummed the Butler dream died.

SemperFidelisSox · Jun 23, 2016

That announcement from Wyc was awkward. He got booed.

wasn't there a report that Ainge liked Brown over Dunn a few days ago?

Drocca · Jun 23, 2016

Terrible, terrible pick.

I think you have that backwards. Ainge offered that Winslow deal. It was turned down.

BigMike · Jun 23, 2016

Well people said a couple weeks back Brown was their guy.

I can't imagine this is a trade pick. It sure seems like the value in a trade pick was Dunn.

Minnesota must feel like the won the secondary lottery at his point

LondonSox · Jun 23, 2016

I'm just waiting to get fist raped by colangelo. It's coming

Ed Hillel · Jun 23, 2016

Most Cs fans on Twitter wanted Hield so whatevs.

DJnVa · Jun 23, 2016

Still hoping for Middleton.

BannedbyNYYFans.com · Jun 23, 2016

Felger and Mazz producer, James Stewart, has been saying they'd pick Jaylen Brown for the past couple weeks. He has sources with the Celtics and said they fell in love with him after his workouts.

That's where the "monkey see, monkey do" comes in.

Grin&MartyBarret · Jun 23, 2016

I'd call Brown a surprising pick. But like 4 days ago he was a popular pick around here. The Colangelos want Dunn, and all of the sudden he's the slam dunk #3 guy in this draft?

Erik Hanson's Hook · Jun 23, 2016

I blame Lugo

Exactly, meaning it wasn't enough. Meaning they wanted more.

Drocca · Jun 23, 2016

So the key to being drafted by Ainge is to agree to play 5 on 5 in workouts. It's enough to erase a terrible statistical college season apparently.

NHbeau · Jun 23, 2016

I was all set to pass on the Sixers poo poo platter of suck with Noel and even more picks. But Jaylen Fucking Brown? I mean sure he has an NBA body already. And at least he isn't another guard but good christ.

Auger34 · Jun 23, 2016

This is honestly fucking awful. Take Dunn and dangle him in front of the Bulls and Sixers. Or trade down with someone. To stick at that spot and just take Brown is hilariously dumb

DJnVa · Jun 23, 2016

Maybe they think Brown is a swing for the fences shot and the pick next year is the going to be the golden boy.

Ed Hillel · Jun 23, 2016

I got upset for a moment but I've since realized I have no fucking clue about any of these guys.

The Social Chair · Jun 23, 2016

Wolves will be fun

Ah, I see. Yeah. How the expression is used.

I mean, if that proposed Sixers deal was their best offer, they may as well take their guy.

Minny getting Dunn.

EDIT: They'll be fun to watch.

LondonSox · Jun 23, 2016

Dunn is a good fit for the Wolves (assuming you don't believe in Rubio)

ilol@u · Jun 23, 2016

Total buzzkill. I'm not that upset because LeBron owns the East until he retires.

Marbleheader · Jun 23, 2016

Wyc says teams trying to 'rip off' Celtics in deals.

Ed Hillel · Jun 23, 2016

I'm sad we don't get this accent. Fuck you, Danny.

That's my analysis.
