2016 NBA Draft Game Thread

[Jed Zeppelin]

At least not Buddy.

 

[BigSoxFan]

If no trade, fucking hate that pick.

 

[DisgruntledSoxFan77]

lmao What the fuck did Danny just do?? All I have is he got Dunn and Brown confused...

 

[snowmanny]

Well that's confusing and uninspiring.

 

[savage362]

This has to be part of something else? Right?

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Brown was who I voted for in the poll. Don't hate that pick at all.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Seems like Danny's developing a bit of a reputation around the league for asking for too much in trades. It'll be interesting to find out what was discussed.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Ainge has rarely done draft day well, this is nothing new.

Care to substantiate this non-sequitur?

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Colangelo did a -these are not the droids you're looking for- mind trick on Ainge.

 

[pokey_reese]

Woooo! A top-10 player!

Wait, we had the THIRD pick?!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Well.....that's a heck of a bet on Celts scouting. I really hope they got it right, as this does not feel like the right guy to me. Especialy given the reported trade options (obviously, rumors are what they are).

Kind of hope Phoenix trades the pick so we knwo for sure what Dunn was worth in a deal

 

[RoDaddy]

good player no doubt so at least there's that

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

I mean, I love the fact that he wore a coat and tie to all of his classes. So there's that.

 

[Marbleheader]

After the top 2, Brown has as good of a chance as anyone left to be a solid NBA player.

 

[MillarTime]

This. Just a bit bummed because of the last minute Butler rumors.

[Jed Zeppelin]

I assume the C's just put a fucktonne of weight on their workouts.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Fine with this. 2nd on my board after Bender, much like prefer him to Okafor. I didn't love the Philly quantity over quality Noel offer either.

 

[cardiacs]

Can't believe I stayed up till 2am for this. Hope better news awaits in the morning. For example the trade with MIL

Remembering last year when it would have cost Danny a fortune to move up for Winslow. Monkey see, monkey do.

 

[heavyde050]

Not too thrilled. Seems like a huge reach. To be fair Ainge did trade for Telfair. Other than the Nets trade, Ainge has not been stellar on draft day.

 

[DJnVa]

Bender going #4

 

[The Social Chair]

All of these players are crap shoots but I'm mostly bummed the Butler dream died.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That announcement from Wyc was awkward. He got booed.

wasn't there a report that Ainge liked Brown over Dunn a few days ago?

 

[Drocca]

Terrible, terrible pick.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

I think you have that backwards. Ainge offered that Winslow deal. It was turned down.

 

[BigMike]

Well people said a couple weeks back Brown was their guy.

I can't imagine this is a trade pick. It sure seems like the value in a trade pick was Dunn.

Minnesota must feel like the won the secondary lottery at his point

 

[LondonSox]

I'm just waiting to get fist raped by colangelo. It's coming

 

[Ed Hillel]

Most Cs fans on Twitter wanted Hield so whatevs.

 

[DJnVa]

Still hoping for Middleton.

 

[BannedbyNYYFans.com]

Felger and Mazz producer, James Stewart, has been saying they'd pick Jaylen Brown for the past couple weeks. He has sources with the Celtics and said they fell in love with him after his workouts.

 

[zenter]

I think you have that backwards. Ainge offered that Winslow deal. It was turned down.

That's where the "monkey see, monkey do" comes in.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

I'd call Brown a surprising pick. But like 4 days ago he was a popular pick around here. The Colangelos want Dunn, and all of the sudden he's the slam dunk #3 guy in this draft?

 

[Erik Hanson's Hook]

I blame Lugo

 

[DisgruntledSoxFan77]

I think you have that backwards. Ainge offered that Winslow deal. It was turned down.

Exactly, meaning it wasn't enough. Meaning they wanted more.

 

[Drocca]

So the key to being drafted by Ainge is to agree to play 5 on 5 in workouts. It's enough to erase a terrible statistical college season apparently.

 

[NHbeau]

I was all set to pass on the Sixers poo poo platter of suck with Noel and even more picks. But Jaylen Fucking Brown? I mean sure he has an NBA body already. And at least he isn't another guard but good christ.

 

[Auger34]

This is honestly fucking awful. Take Dunn and dangle him in front of the Bulls and Sixers. Or trade down with someone. To stick at that spot and just take Brown is hilariously dumb

 

[DJnVa]

Maybe they think Brown is a swing for the fences shot and the pick next year is the going to be the golden boy.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I got upset for a moment but I've since realized I have no fucking clue about any of these guys.

 

[The Social Chair]

Wolves will be fun

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Exactly, meaning it wasn't enough. Meaning they wanted more.

Ah, I see. Yeah. How the expression is used.

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is honestly fucking awful. Take Dunn and dangle him in front of the Bulls and Sixers. Or trade down with someone. To stick at that spot and just take Brown is hilariously dumb

I mean, if that proposed Sixers deal was their best offer, they may as well take their guy.

 

[MillarTime]

All of these players are crap shoots but I'm mostly bummed the Butler dream died.

 

[DJnVa]

Minny getting Dunn.

EDIT: They'll be fun to watch.

 

[LondonSox]

Dunn is a good fit for the Wolves (assuming you don't believe in Rubio)

 

[ilol@u]

Total buzzkill. I'm not that upset because LeBron owns the East until he retires.

 

[Marbleheader]

Wyc says teams trying to 'rip off' Celtics in deals.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm sad we don't get this accent. Fuck you, Danny.

That's my analysis.
