At least he can sort of shoot. JeezBill Simmons @BillSimmons 1m1 minute ago
The Celtics just took the 7th pick in the draft at no. 3 and used no. 16 on a French guy sitting in the stands. I'm gonna make a drink.
Again, everyone here (including me) wanted Perry Jones III. Who did you want at the time?I agree on Giddens 100% (end of the first round), but Melo could have been a good pick (22nd).
What? I thought people were upset he'd be going to Minnesota for Dunn plus a B-level player.These tweets get more and more depressing as the night goes on...
That is Superbowl winning Tavon Wilson, thank you.Is there any reasonable chance he is gone before 23?
This is worse than Tavon Wilson in the 2nd
Why is that depressing if Celts were never giving up that much?These tweets get more and more depressing as the night goes on...
To me it just says that they want far too much if they couldn't make it work with 2 different teams. Actually makes me feel better.These tweets get more and more depressing as the night goes on...
If the Celtics rated him that highly, why is it unreasonable to think another team did too? If Ainge thought he was the best player but gambled that he would drop because of how Jay Bilas rated him, he should be fired. It's far more likely that Chad Fors rated him too low than Ainge picked him too high.Is there any reasonable chance he is gone before 23?
This is worse than Tavon Wilson in the 2nd
I think it is all Stevens, Thomas, and the bench/role players like Amir, Evan Turner, etc.Have Bradley, Sullenger, Smart, Olynyk, and Rozier not played any role in getting back to "competitiveness"? That is a third of the team right there, eh?
YEs there was a very reasonable chance, guys projected after him some places went before him. (Pappagiannis Maker some places etc.)Is there any reasonable chance he is gone before 23?
This is worse than Tavon Wilson in the 2nd
Bill is heavyd?
This is fine work. Best of thread thus far.Well they're both not quite sure as to what is going down
Without doing the research, I'm sure Bradley has a positive value compared to what is expected from a pick in that spot.I don't think Smart can be grouped with the other guys as he was a top pick. I only think Bradley and Smart have been good. Rozier and KO have not really helped the team yet.
And she said Boston made the hardest push.Butler staying put per Ramona Shelbourne
That would explain Wyc's outburst.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
That seems to jibe with what our Tribune's friend's friend was reporting.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
That's basically a GFY response, which is appropriate.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
Plus Smart, 16, and 23That seems to jibe with what our Tribune's friend's friend was reporting.
No. What I tried to point out is that KO isn't the reason the Celts are competitive now. I am not a basketball expert, but I am pretty sure Stevens and Thomas have had a lot more to do with the Celts recent success than KO, but you are free to disagree.Without doing the research, I'm sure Bradley has a positive value compared to what is expected from a pick in that spot.
But to say that KO hasn't helped the team, that means you don't know anything about basketball. Yes, he isn't Giannis but he's certainly an asset to the Cs, particularly in this day and age.
Right-- yah, that the cost was prohibitive. I was more focused on getting jive/jibe correct to fill in the details.Plus Smart, 16, and 23
For who? Because they couldn't have possibly wanted that for Butler. That is insanity.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
That was smart to turn down the deal then.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
I don't particularly like the Yabusle pick, as I think it's harder to "turn it on" defensively than is generally believed (same reason I don't like the Brown pick) but I don't worry about the reach aspect. Once you're out of the top ten or so, concerns about "could have had him later" are a bit silly to me.
OutstandingRight-- yah, that the cost was prohibitive. I was more focused on getting jive/jibe correct to fill in the details.
Does not compute. This doesn't fit with the Danny is stupid narrative.Producer from Felger/Mazz says Bulls wanted 3, 16, 23, Smart, Bradley, Crowder, and next year's Brooklyn pick.
Great. But we had hours of "WTF Ainge??"That was smart to turn down the deal then.
That's the Jaylen Brown pick. Keep up.Does not compute. This doesn't fit with the Danny is stupid narrative.
J-Stew's report? What report and who is J Stew?I see J-Stew's report. As one of his friends works for the Celtics I would tend to trust that. Now I'm off the ledge about Ainge screwing it up. No way do I do that deal for Jimmy Butler. I do wish he took Dunn however.
Danny isn't stupid...he just makes some curious draft picks at certain times.Does not compute. This doesn't fit with the Danny is stupid narrative.
The insane Butler trade proposal and J-Stew is Jimmy Stewart from Felger and Mazz.J-Stew's report? What report and who is J Stew?
