what shd celtics do w #3 pick

cause he is very talented and young and played for a dysfunctional team/org his rookie season

yeah its hard to evaluate whether a guy has a higher gear when they're playing on a 9-73 team

i like noel but not sure how much he helps them get better on offense which is really what they need to do.

i think the celtics need the scoring a lot more than the rim protection atm

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

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

the sixers would be crazy to trade noel for the #3 pick if the celtics could get that they shouldn't think twice

ya i dont think they wld

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

if they wanted a guy like that they wouldn't have turned jared sullinger into a 300 pound stretch 4

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

however things like playing defense and passing and knowing what a good shot is have so far eluded him

sullinger is terrible in the post btw, cant jump, lol

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.

if i was danny i'd offer the kings #3 for cauley stein

feel like someone who plays offense would be ideal

thats what kd is for duh

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

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

there cant possibly be 3 weak draft classes in a row right?????

this one might not even be weak who knows!

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

tru wldnt be surprised

i'm not sure if hardwood paroxysm is just trolling or what but they theorize a boogie cousins trade http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/2016/06/22/2016-nba-mock-draft-lakers-76ers-ben-simmons-brandon-ingram/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

i support this theorizing and sacto is absolutely stupid enough to do it

its been my dream forever but i'd long since resigned myself to it not happening. still don't think it will, but...

if they get boogie durant becomes possible, im not saying remotely likely, but real

boogie seems very unlikely if they can't get khris middleton but sac front office...

sac trading away their star for parts with the new arena opening seems like <1% though

they cld get middleton for the package described in that piece

thing w boogie is we dont know just how bad his relationship w the org is, its at least pretty bad but it cld be nearing unworkable, maybe hes already demanded a trade who knows

im sure they want to see if boogie will take to joerger

that's the main reason i think it's unlikely - joerger clearly vibes well with dudes who are often known for being prickly (hairston, barnes, z-bo, etc.) and it's not unreasonable to think that could happen in the coming season. the minute it doesn't, tho, sacramento totally starts shopping boogie around the deadline

jeerer will be great w boogie. question is can he shield boog from everything else wrong with the franchise, answer is no, obv

boogie if ur listening demand a trade to the celtics now thank u

if teague is gone are the hawks also looking to move millsap? bc if so i'd be willing to part w quite a bit for him

dont think the hawks are tearing it down cld be wrong tho

rumor now is they're shopping 12+21 around, i think they just didnt like teague for whatever reason

prob felt he was expendable w schro behind him

oh whoops thats already in the other thread why do we have so many threads

Celtics should just take Bender and hope

10 years ago we had Kevin Love, Kevin Hope, and Kevin Dreams

there cant possibly be 3 weak draft classes in a row right?????

2014 wasn't weak at all!

oh i meant 16 17 18

rumor now is they're shopping 12+21 around, i think they just didnt like teague for whatever reason

Schroeder is ready and it seemed like maybe he'd passed Teague

oh i meant 16 17 18

Oh sorry. Yeah one of the reasons this draft sucks is some guys waited for 17.

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

I think his rookie season went fine considering his role. He had a couple breakout games when they started him. Big thing with him is turnovers. Stan Johnson and Winslow didn't exactly set the world on fire.
