[Montana Fan]

How sweet it is!!!

 

[AimingForYoko]

Praise him!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wyc to everyone...gotta go watch my team in the Conference Finals. But I'll see you back here next year!

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Why such a downer? Jesus dude.

People were having fun. Lighten up.

It's a joke. Lighten up


Kings were a big winner tonight too. They moved from 8 to 5.

 

[joe dokes]

Markelle, stick to smoking weed. No coke, ok?

 

[Sportsbstn]

LMFAO i love Paul Pierce

Unless some other team is willing to do something really stupid, I'm all about Fultz here. This is exciting.

Yeah but the last thing the Celtics need is more draft picks. They need more talent.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Is it possible the C's could mount a disinformation campaign big enough to convince la that ainge wants ball.

we should all get ball avatars

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

ECF and the #1 pick. Holy fuck.

 

[slamminsammya]

I hate myself for laughing at any of your posts but especially this one.

This is such a good reference. For those who havent seen it look up the Life Is Too Short with the guy from Taken. All time clip.

The play would be to threaten to trade the pick to a team that would want Ball but not sure who that would credibly be.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

LOL., the Celtics get #1 in a year when they didn't really need it, because there were 4 very, very good players at the top of this draft.

Yes, but more of a 1 and then 2a, 2b, and 2c.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

The U-Dub backcourt gonna be lit.

Heard a clip of someone on Tiki and Tiernay (not sure who) say that this draft is going to have 3 HOFers and 5-6 additional perennial All-Stars.


Yeah, I don't buy it either.

More picks is more ammunition for future trades. But Lakers have some youngsters too.

It's pretty much the only highlight of that show.

 

[Ale Xander]

I wish the Garnett/Pierce to Brooklyn trade thread was still around so we could laugh at all the people who thought that return wasn't enough.

Why isn't it?

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Markelle, stick to smoking weed. No coke, ok?

still too early . . . .

 

[Red Averages]

Can't wait to do it again next year

 

[DJnVa]

The U-Dub backcourt gonna be lit.

Loving the highlights against Yale. Who's beating UW in Washington. lol

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

All in on Fultz. Draft him, get Hayward, forget Butler.

Heard this trade back to LA thing a bunch: Is there any way to do that with guarantee that it's not a bluff for LA to just draft Fultz?

 

[heavyde050]

let us now praise Danny Ainge

Great trade to get those Brooklyn picks - now hide the phone until Fultz is in a Celtics' uniform.

Do not trade for Butler. I repeat do not trade.

Winner

Praise him!

I love Paul Pierce. Celtics legend.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Danny looks like he just caught & ate Tweety bird.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Who would you trade it for? If Porzingus is available?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Danny at the podium

[tims4wins]

Scared the wife and woke the 5 year old up with my screams. Fuck. Yeah.

so I wasn't the only one

 

[The Social Chair]

Wow.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I haven't been this excited for the result of balls dropping in 46 years

Even if Hayward is unavailable, go after Millsap or something. The prospect of having a couple bad contracts in 3-4 years (IT will be on the downside by then) isn't as daunting as it otherwise might b.

 

[Ed Hillel]

So Ball and his family go to LA lololol

 

[ifmanis5]

Good news is we're out of the Ball's dad sideshow.

 

[mikeot]

still too early . . . .

Indeed.

 

[blueline]

Both Markelle Fultz and Len Bias went to high school in Hyattsville, Maryland

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Video hagiography:

 

[tims4wins]

So so so glad they used last year's pick on Brown and didn't panic and trade for Hayward or whatever. Can have our cake and eat it too

 

[mikeot]

All the reason I need to pick Fultz.

 

[DJnVa]

Wow.

Explain this--why is drawing done 3 times?

That lottery was a best case scenario for Indy/Chi if they want to trade George/Butler - could they just play LA and Celts off each other?


Uh no.

 

[bosockboy]

Is this roster possible next year financially?

Thomas
Bradley
Hayward
Crowder
Horford

Smart
Fultz
Brown
Rozier
Olynyk
Zizic

 

[Sportsbstn]

Fantastic news. His son may never even be an all star, but the dad is an all star asshole

Draft Fultz. Sign Hayward.

Starters: IT, Bradley, Crowder, Hayward, Horford
Bench: Fultz (but getting big minutes), Smart, Rozier, Brown, Olynyk

That's a very sweet 10-man group right there. Still not that beefy up front, but man there's talent there by the bushel.

Again - don't trade that pick for George (who wants to go LAL) or Butler. I hope Simmons is wrong - it is a safe bet he is.

George is never staying in Boston. Not much to play off

Go away, Bill.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

why is drawing done 3 times?

Every team is assigned a certain amount of number combos. So Mannix is saying C's combos were the first three picks (obviously once they get picked once the other two don't count).

 

[Senator Donut]

I wish the Garnett/Pierce to Brooklyn trade thread was still around so we could laugh at all the people who thought that return wasn't enough.

After the Bulls game 2, I was tempted to necro the Rondo/Crowder thread and claim I was right all along.

Christ. Markelle Fultz is walking through that door folks. The Fellowship of the Miserable will just have to deal with it.

 

[amfox1]

For picks #1, #2 and #3. Each four ball combo is for one team only.
