that said, anthony edwards surely isn't their only high risk option

feel like the celtics wanna move into the top 10 to draft one of the centers
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 20:29 (three years ago) link
if you want to pick that type of guy then trade down imho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, November 18, 2020 3:03 PM (thirty-five minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
haven’t the wolves been trying to trade down for months to no avail?

i wish this were true, i kind of think they are still devaluing centers.

there are a lot of ways to approach the draft and I'm sure the Wolves will find the worst one

TODAY IS THE DAY THAT...THE BOSTON CELTICS WILL DRAFT ONKYEKA OKONGWU IN THE 2020 NBA DRAFT pic.twitter.com/2W8O7GmFzm— WELCOME ONYEKA TO BOSTON (@yooFury) November 18, 2020

onkyeka is seriously ripped and jacked
maybe i'm being too literal but i feel like bam exposed the major hole in the celtics roster in the ECF and this is the one guy in the draft ppl see in that vein
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 21:03 (three years ago) link
thats totally reasonable imo, also just generally their center rotation got completely wrecked all playoffs, have no particular idea how the celtics are thinking about it tho

Zach Lowe discussing Celtics/Hayward on The Jump: "For a possible trade, I would keep my my eye on Indiana. ... For free agency, Atlanta has been rumored. I'm not sure if that's a stalking horse. I'd keep my eye on Charlotte."Added "everything is on the table." pic.twitter.com/qM7FvdlMfK— Chris Grenham (@chrisgrenham) November 18, 2020
another solution to the center issue cld be.... myles turner tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 21:09 (three years ago) link
i don't really understand what gordon heyward is up to -- windhorst was throwing out cleveland as a possible destination. i don't understand why he wouldn't just opt in and play this year out before going into a better FA market next year
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 21:20 (three years ago) link
a trade to the hawks w/ the understanding that he will re-sign there isn't crazy to me since they theoretically have a future... but charlotte and cleveland? what on earth
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 November 2020 21:22 (three years ago) link
maybe doesnt want to risk yet again another injury

imo hes posturing for leverage or something like that

"The belief among league observers is that the Celtics have targeted Memphis center James Wiseman, looking to upgrade their frontcourt while keeping their core together. The Celtics have also entertained talks for Gordon Hayward in a potential sign-and-trade and Kemba Walker." https://t.co/AfRr1NSFKT— Chris Grenham (@chrisgrenham) November 18, 2020

makes sense except for the part where they need a higher pick than 14 for that

yeah this was also my not-very-complex analysis. go deep in the playoffs these days and you're likely going to run up against a good center that can change the series.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 21:35 (three years ago) link
draymond and smart on the same team would really be something

yes but the celtics are not allowed to trade him

this is real weird. i was listening to lowe and windhorst today and they were saying with some confidence that giannis had been in touch with bogdan and that bogdan was enthusiastic about playing with giannis to the point that he was willing to take a little less money.

The Sixers are sending a lightly-protected 2025 first-round pick and the 34th overall pick in tonight's draft, sources tell ESPN. The Thunder are also sending Terrance Ferguson to the Sixers with Green. https://t.co/sDCfPo4T4L— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) November 18, 2020

lets see if they can do better than the celtics who turned a similarly big chest of picks into a good but not dominant team

big concern about hayes is lack of nba athleticism. i think koc is nuts for this ranking but hayes might be ok.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 23:33 (three years ago) link
i think koc sees shades of harden, but idk. he'll be picked probably somewhere between 6-13.

givony & schmitz have at least been enmeshed in the scouting community for years, traveling around the world etc. they're much lower on guys like hayes & avdija
