bleacherreport.com/articles/10123676-2024-nba-mock-draft-full-2-round-predictions-and-pro-comparisonsIf this happens, outside of Holmes not going 28 to Denver, I'm using pick 30, looking at Scheierman, McCullar and Jones. For the record if Holmes does actually fall and reports are wrong, I take him all day long! 2nd pick while I'd personally want to take Trentyn Flowers all day long, I dont think I could pass up Oso Ighodaro based on long-term team needs. Roll the dice and see if you can develop him some more. Then I'd go all out after Trentyn Flowers. If Holmes makes it all the way to 28 and they didn’t try trading up for him, I’d be disappointed. Not sure what it would take to move up, wouldn’t think too much. And quite frankly, if Filipowski is there around 20, and you can use a few second round picks, I’d move up for him.

Holmes shouldn't make it anywhere near pick 28 in this draft. I have Filipowski lower, he doesn't move like Holmes and they both might be PFs/ small ball centers. Holmes just is better and his D is way better. Still Filipowski in this draft should be more mid to late teens, Holmes late lottery to mid first. Both seem low given that most mocks have the two big old school centers going before them. What am I missing with the UConn and Purdue center being so high? Those guys are going to be destroyed on D

Lots of directions the Celtics could go; I’m confident a 6’1 guard isn’t one of them .

Yeah there's a reason I didn't mention him. He's a real good player, NBA ready, but we already have Pritchard. Think something like TJ McConnell with a better jumper, but doesn't have his handle yet.
If you wanted a small PG that could be electric on offense I'd go KJ Simpson, he's an elite athlete both run jump and with quickness. He's also 6' tall and 187 pounds, but he's close to Isaiah Thomas as an athlete. So he's at least fun to dream about.

Terrence Shannon Jr found not guilty, he’s a guy that will likely go around our range

Anyone else think there is a good chance Big Al retires when we win bannah 18? He's making $9M+ anyone a free agent big this off-season that would be a good fit for the team.

I don’t think he will retire and if he did we cannot replace him with a free agent because we are way over the cap. The only free agents the Celtics can sign for the foreseeable future are vet minimum contracts. Good news is they should officially be a team ring hunters want to sign with. They can extend Tillman tho and I think they may. They’ll have him working on corner 3s all summer.

I've had the same thoughts about Horford, but he really seems to be enjoying himself. Also an outside chance at the HOF that some extra stats and multiple championships might make a difference. I really hope not because the veteran minimum free agent market isn't great. Maybe Bamba and Saric if you want shooting. Woods if his opts out, which is likely. He just doesn't play D.
I'd resign Tillman on a small deal, I dont have faith in his shot. Why? His career FT shooting, but you never know. While he looked better last game, I've seen him play better.
I pickup Queta option and have him shooting 3's every second lol.
I'd also look at Kessler Edwards if Kings don't tender him a contract. His college tape is still stuck in my head years later, same with Queta.

First report I've seen, per Givony ESPN draft expert Baylor Scheierman doesn't get past pick 30.
Nba draft room has us taking Scheierman at pick 30 and Osa with our 2nd pick.

Yeah if he's there, those reports usually mean he's likely to go higher unfortunately.

Commercial has Draymond Green on Jimmy Kimmel later AND the extender inserted into game 4 down 3-0. Move along nothing to see here. When calls don't and won't go your way what do you think happens as a result? Brainwashing by good old coaches for nearly everyone here, I had them too. Confused. ask and I'll explain.

Mario Hezonja may be coming back to the league, I wouldn’t mind looking at him as a bench piece. Shot seems to have become more consistent

Celtics worked out two more players that are projected to be drafted. Enrique Freeman PF Akron and Antonio Reeves SG Kentucky.
Freeman is rising up draft boards per multiple reports, had a nice combine practice. Undersized PF, good athlete, good wingspan at 7'2", but only 212 pounds and he's a 5th year senior. Developing 3 point shot, rebounder and shot blocker with 35" max vertical. Has better post moves than Oso, but his level of competition is horrible. Mistake I made with Kessler Edwards, he's going to need time to adjust to playing against size and athletes. Not a bad second pick type player, year in G League and NBA weight room. His shot goes in, but funky mechanics, high engery player.
Reeves another 5th year senior from Kentucky, SG good size, good athlete, great 3 point shooter. I haven't mentioned him before because he's basically just a shooter, doesn't rebound well, get assists or steals. He does have that one skill to stick in the NBA in 3 point shooting. The two guys in lottery and Reeves were also why Kentucky was bad on D.

Ok, the best thing just happened for next year’s team. Now we can watch in complete peace knowing they are champions. We can enjoy the ride without doubt.

To save a little money it would basically have to be a big on a rookie deal. Not many players sign rookie extensions as cheap as Pritchards and he's so good for what he makes. Signed for 4 more years. I'm not against the idea, I've seen many people proposing just that. They never list who you trade him for though. Our owner needs to get his checkbook ready, if he wants a run, which he'd be crazy not to, it's going to make what the Warriors spent seem like nothing.

Jeff Van Gundy to Clippers as top Assistant. Sam Cassell as top assistant? Why aren't teams looking to hire him?

We are about to find out how true this is:
Grousbeck bought the team in 2002 by rounding up a large group of investors. In his pitch to his potential partners, however, Grousbeck wanted to make it abundantly clear that as long as he was in charge, winning titles was the priority. Not making a profit—to the extent that Grousbeck declared his ownership group should be prepared to get paid in a different sort of currency.
"I don’t want your lunch money or your college fund," Grousbeck said, per Leung. "You’re all very well-to-do people. I want a small percentage of your net worth. You put it into the Celtics and alongside me, I will run it. But I will treat you all like partners. But this is not about a percentage return or anything like that. This is about winning championships... so we will be paid in enjoyment.
"We will be paid in parades.”
