Langford, meh.

Hope I’m proven wrong but not feeling this pick at all.

It only makes sense if there's a background trade in the works otherwise, given the obvious glaring needs, it seems uninspiring. That said, it's never the kid's fault where they're drafted.

Bring on Bol Bol. Gotta grab the unicorn when it avails itself.

Here's the problem, as it currently appears to me:

They're losing Irving without compensation.

They're losing Horford without compensation.

They don't have any other major pieces besides Tatum and Brown.

They've got some money for a good, though not max, type of player, but not much swappable talent for trades. And, if you do get Horford back, you lose the money for that free agent, making it a push in that sense. So, beyond that sort of second/their tier FA signing, the more likely scenarios involve finding distressed properties (unhappy players) for dump trades, combining draft picks to move up a couple of slots, pushing draft picks into the future, or being stuck taking 3 1st rounders in what's thought to be a very weak draft.

If they lose Horford, the Celtics appear to be drifting into the second-tier in the East which is a tough place to crawl out of without a surprise draftee like Giannis Antetokounmpo. I'm surprised that more free agents don't seem to want to play for Brad Stevens.

Little, Bol Bol, Porter, Clarke ... Celtics have good choices available.

Okay ... and the same 4 players are still available so we'll see.

Why do the Celtics need more picks in this draft. They will need to open a day care center for the players if they keep all of them

Yep. Bol Bol and Little. 22 and 24.

Championship!

Danny is in asset gathering mode. None of these kids should be buying but renting.

Grant williams. Could be a Solid bench guy, tweener. Not liking what I’m seeing so far. Can you at least grab Edwards at 24?

IcyPatriot · Jun 20, 2019

Small ball big ............ that's the Celtics.

Will the Celtics have anyone taller than 6'7" next season?

They will if they take Bol Bol.

Many years ago that was a prophecy of Red Auerbach ...
5 players on the floor of similar size who were interchangeable.

A 6'7" PF who has body issues
Sounds like a Yabu replacement

We get the Suns (Bucks) 1st round pick 2020.
