so about our draft picks..

21 & 22 in this draft in round 1 and then in round 2 we got the 51st pick.

between now and 2014 we have something like 6 seconds as well as our own firsts..

are we going to use these picks or does D/A go Auerbach on us again and land us a star somehow with them?


If we're going to attempt to contend i think a trade would be in the works.. if we're going to try to devolope a new team over time, the picks stay.

They need a young studs at the 4/5 ..could see them moving up..

well we need help everywhere once the roster clears for the summer.

but Steimsma wants to come back..
Wilcox wants to return to boston..
Bass has said he'd like to retire a celtic, and has an option
KG in the past has said he'd like to retire a Celtic


With our cap space situation we could bring back just about everyone and add a 10 mill guy.. if we did that, might it not make more sense to trade the picks away for picks in 13 or 14?

I don't follow college sports, as a rule, but...

1. We need height and beef.
2. I don't see anybody other than Fab Melo falling to 21-22.

What do you guys know about Fab Melo? His name alone makes me want to puke.

Maybe Matty's on to something. Trade all these picks and re-sign Semih Erden as a free agent. We still need another good young 5, as KG heads towards the sunset, but between Steamer and Erden we've got depth.

.

i hadnt thought of erden.. but not opposed to that if we coudl resign all the current bigs and wilcox

On the quick...

Deep draft pool this year...quality well into the 2nd round

Realistic picks for us at 4/5...

Arnett Moultrie (supposedly gaining attention & moving up fast/could go several picks sooner)
Festus Ezeli (ready to play at this level...hard-nosed...tops my wish list if Moultrie is gone)
Andrew Nicholson
John Henson
Fab Melo (saw some of his games at Syracuse...good D not much O, big, a bit of a project)

Plenty of excellent picks at G as well.

We should walk away with a couple of young players capable of making the roster with ease and possibly contributing quickly.

How does the NBA work, is it that you are either on the 15 player roster or you dont belong to the franchise?

Seems difficult to develop players in the NBA if they have to be within the 15 players.
