a down low potential horrible pick is hezonja i forgot he went #5
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:02 (seven years ago) link
he seemed so fun what happened
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:02 (seven years ago) link
maybe theres still hope idk
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:03 (seven years ago) link
he's a 21 year old euro gotta give him some time im just saying if he turns out to be a quasi-bust it looks like they passed on a bunch of really good players
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:05 (seven years ago) link
i think skiles might've broken him, but there also may not have been much to break

he didnt play a ton this yr but when he did he didn't really do anything
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:16 (seven years ago) link
his shooting %s were fine he just didn't really shoot much
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link
he gets a one year pass for skiles

if fournier gets moved then he'll get a lot more usage

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

sounds like most of the 'rumored' deals were never really on the table, only the sixers are interested in the pick
i think drafting bender is correct at this point but if they don't like him then i'd rather they get okafor than draft someone else
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 15:57 (seven years ago) link
brown has major upside potential imo
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 15:59 (seven years ago) link
i voted trade for noel btw
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:00 (seven years ago) link
i could see them caving and making the okafor deal. brother brad made evan fucking turner into a capable defender - i think he could make okafor passable at worst on that end of the floor and with the team's other defensive strengths passable to decent is fine?
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:02 (seven years ago) link
oh noel is good too either one is fine
brown seems like just another low-efficiency guy to throw on the pile idk
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
he did a lot of really good stuff for a rookie just not shooting but his shot doesnt seem broken and hes physically a basketball superman
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link
apparently they were more interested in nerlens, which i can sort of understand although additional scoring is a more pressing need for the Cs imo
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:05 (seven years ago) link
nerlens is also from boston which boston teams seem to like for some reason
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
lol in that case should've drafted shabazz napier at the 16 spot in 2014, roxbury native
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:08 (seven years ago) link
nerlens cld be p dominant filling the rim protection/dive man roll on a functional team imo, a slender tyson chandler if u will, wld be a huge coup for the c's
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:09 (seven years ago) link
the fact that everyone is so down on okafor as a person and he played the type of basketball that someone who is deserving of everyone being down on them as a person would worries me as does phillys willingness to move him after one season in which he in many way did pretty good, but that cld be an opportunity too if he is capable of cheering up and playing basketball the good way it wld be a huge steal
cause he is very talented and young and played for a dysfunctional team/org his rookie season
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:10 (seven years ago) link
yeah its hard to evaluate whether a guy has a higher gear when they're playing on a 9-73 team
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
i like noel but not sure how much he helps them get better on offense which is really what they need to do.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
i think the celtics need the scoring a lot more than the rim protection atm
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
hes just a good player w valuable skills hed prob move some the needle on O via being able to catch and finish athletically at the rim but def has more value defensively, feel like u just take a player like that and then figure out how to make it work
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
not that the sixers have shown much interest in trading him
w noel they cld conceivably go from a very good defensive team to a great one too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link
the sixers would be crazy to trade noel for the #3 pick if the celtics could get that they shouldn't think twice
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:17 (seven years ago) link
ya i dont think they wld
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:18 (seven years ago) link
the okafor stuff never made sense to me, he just doesn't seem like the type of player (back to the basket post man who can't play defense) the celtics are going after in the stevens era
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:19 (seven years ago) link
if they wanted a guy like that they wouldn't have turned jared sullinger into a 300 pound stretch 4
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
okafor can shoot and faceup and roll too tho, hes a v skilled scorer, doesnt really need to post up all the time to be effective
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link
however things like playing defense and passing and knowing what a good shot is have so far eluded him
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:24 (seven years ago) link
sullinger is terrible in the post btw, cant jump, lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
nerlens would make tons of sense for them as a guy who is a pure roller/alley oop finisher but who can defend the rim out to the three point line on defense. that's the kind of center the rest of the roster is built to accommodate.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:27 (seven years ago) link
if i was danny i'd offer the kings #3 for cauley stein
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:28 (seven years ago) link
feel like someone who plays offense would be ideal
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:32 (seven years ago) link
thats what kd is for duh
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:32 (seven years ago) link
oh i assumed all of these rumored #3 trades would also have to include an actual rotation player i dont think even the sixers are giving them a real player for it straight up
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
we still have the nets pick the next 2 years though so i'm always down with just drafting a high upside guy (bender) and then having a strong team in 5 years rather than now
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:49 (seven years ago) link
there cant possibly be 3 weak draft classes in a row right?????
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:50 (seven years ago) link
this one might not even be weak who knows!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:53 (seven years ago) link
the nets will prob get a lil better tho via throwing money at third tier free agents
yeah i think theres a reasonable chance that we have a top 5 pick again next yr though. theyre starting from a pretty low point
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:54 (seven years ago) link
tru wldnt be surprised

if the celtics do get noel i wonder if he'll leave gatorade, weed roaches and poop all over the apartment he rents http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/report-nerlens-noel-accused-of-doing-really-gross-things-to-a-rental-home/
