2019 Draft Megathread

[BigMike]

Ky Bowman is round 2 makes a lot of sense for the Celtics.

Sure he will be a nice Summer league player for them before he heads off to the G- league for a couple of years.

Not sure the Celtics need an undersized score first PG

 

[Big John]

Hate the Langford pick, but the other two are OK. I really like Ty Jerome. And they have #32 now yes? That's the Dylan Windler pick,. hopefully.
Poor Nassir Little. But you could see it coming.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Nassir LIttle clearly should have stayed in school another year

 

[reggiecleveland]

A year's supply of Rice-A-Roni

Wouldn't the warriors need to be involved?

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Probably a useless first that will turn into a second

probably top 14 protected in 2020
top 12 protected in 2021
top....

Nah, would be nice if it was Memphis all over again tho.

 

[bankshot1]

I'm hoping we get a 2020-21-22 consideration from Phoenix and not the 44 and 52nd picks (or whatever) this year.

 

[128]

Jerome is headed to PHX. The next C's pick is No. 33.

 

[Obscure Name]

Hate the Langford pick, but the other two are OK. I really like Ty Jerome.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Jerome was picked for the Suns, we only took Langford and Williams

 

[Sprowl]

Phoenix is gratified by your assessment.

 

[Kliq]

What the fuck is going on? Why do we keep trading down? Are the Celtics just going to end up with the last ten picks of the second round?

 

[OnWisc]

Wouldn't the warriors need to be involved?

The Heat, actually.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

What did they get from Suns

The right to not have to pay guaranteed money for multiple years for a player Ainge doesn't want I'm presuming.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Total snooze. Classic draft night Danny.

 

[Ale Xander]

Money

 

[djbayko]

What are we getting? Is it definitely a trade down? Maybe it's a lateral move to next year.

 

[chilidawg]

now

Boston is trading No. 24 to the Suns --- who are focused on taking Ty Jerome, league source tells ESPN.

Too bad, would have thought Jerome would be a good fit.

 

[prizminferno]

Ainge thinks he's BB but he has drafted more players that died than were all-stars

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Danny Ainge going full Belichick.

And can one of you Twitter people let us know what we got from Phoenix. My God, this coverage is unbearable.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Heat, actually.

 

[ifmanis5]

Hopefully an unprotected 1st from Phoenix

Future pick, no details yet.

[EL Jeffe]

Sounds like a protected Milwaukee pick they owed to Phoenix

 

[reggiecleveland]

The Heat, actually.

It isn't the Miami treat

Bucks 2020

 

[bankshot1]

I think Danny got a week-end at the Phoenician in Scottsdale with comped mini-bar.

 

[Kliq]

We’ll have Milwaukee’s first in 2020; which I’d bet my life that it’s worse than 24.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Phoenix is send the Celts a box of Dan Majerle bobbleheads Ainge left behind when he stopped coaching there...

 

[JCizzle]

Who knows how it all shakes out, but tonight is the turd topping to a shitty couple of weeks. Trading firsts for yet more future assests. Yawn.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

That is really exciting to me---Brad's system really utlizes the big who can pass.

He’s also a decent bet to extend his range to 3 too. He has some point-forward/initiator upside. Savvy overall on both sides. Paul Millsap is one of the more common comps.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wut

lol

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

Bucks pick protected top 7 - that won’t matter. Probably end up 25-30 in 2020? Fairly useless but they obviously didn’t care for anyone enough to spend money on them right now.

 

[Captaincoop]

Honest question...who did you want at #3 in 2016?

Almost all mocks had 3-8 or so as Bender, Hield, Chriss, Dunn, Murray, Brown.

This place would have exploded if they took Hield. Murray has been better, but not by a whole lot.

I was, am, and always will be for Hield.

 

[dcmissle]

The right to not have to pay guaranteed money for multiple years for a player Ainge doesn't want I'm presuming.

Fine. Then why stockpile the picks in the first place?

 

[Rusty13]

Danny Ainge going full Belichick.

“Hearing the Celtics may have gotten the protected pick the Bucks owe the Suns in the trade for Ty Jerome's draft rights” https://twitter.com/keithsmithnba/status/1141891837541699584?s=21

 

[prizminferno]

homeless man's Belichick

 

[OnWisc]

It isn't the Miami treat

They’re changing their image.

[chilidawg]

Glad to see Little get picked, must have been brutal sitting that long. Hopefully Bol waits till 33.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Any protections on Milwaukee pick?

 

[BigMike]

I think Danny got a week-end at the Phoenician in Scottsdale with comped mini-bar.

I've stayed at the phoenecian. That's a nice pick up

 

[mcpickl]

Who knows how it all shakes out, but tonight is the turd topping to a shitty couple of weeks. Trading firsts for yet more future assests. Yawn.

Something you pretty much have to do when you have three non-prime first rounders.

The second you choose a player, the asset loses value.

Have to have liquid assets.

 

[reggiecleveland]

I think Bilas just passed 20th guy who was considered top 5 last year

 

[Deathofthebambino]

When Nassir Little turns into a perennial All Star for Portland, a lot of people are going to look really stupid.

 

[Cellar-Door]

We’ll have Milwaukee’s first in 2020; which I’d bet my life that it’s worse than 24.

Sure, but in a better draft, also easier to trade future late firsts than current late 1sts

 

[Obscure Name]

The Bucks' 2020 pick? What the fuck?

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

We’ll have Milwaukee’s first in 2020; which I’d bet my life that it’s worse than 24.

Maybe 2020 will be the “double draft” year when HS can again enter the draft.

 

[LesterFan]

Baynes traded to Suns

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Aron Baynes is going to the Suns in the deal.

 

[djbayko]

Fine. Then why stockpile the picks in the first place?

Well, it sounds like they were trying to trade up but it didn't work out. Not sure we lost anything here. Too many picks this year, and it's a weak draft. A later pick next year is probably preferable.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I think Bilas just passed 20th guy who was considered top 5 last year

Bilas is really insufferable.

Bucks 2020

I suppose that's the best offer Ainge got for kicking a first-rounder back a year, and avoiding more than two rookie additions to the roster. Milwaukee might end up losing Middleton and having a middling year, I suppose, but it assigns no discount to future values.
