Celtics/NBA Pre-Season Thread: Celtics, now owners of minor league Red Claws, say team will stay in Portland

[BostonBob]

Rumor floating around about a possible deal between Boston and Houston. Clint Capela to Boston and Aron Baynes plus the # 20 and # 22 pick going to Houston.

Can I sprint to the podium to announce that?

Nice NOT to see the Sixers in the lottery this year. That was getting old. They should have a ‘all world team’ with all the top picks they’ve had in recent years.

 

[McGarnagle]

I want Bol Bol at 14

 

[dabid]

RIP Fab

 

[McGarnagle]

What's the point of the clock if they're going to just pause on "the pick is in" and let Chauncey Billups and Jay Bilas talk for another 7 minutes?

 

[N o o d l e s]

Thank god Herro is gone

 

[N o o d l e s]

Give me Bol Bol and Goga Bitadze.

Bol Bol and Goga

 

[McGarnagle]

NOOOOOOOOO

f*** you Danny

 

[dabid]

Romeo Langford is the pick

 

[McGarnagle]

We already have like 4 SGs

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

We already have like 4 SGs

We have small forwards not 2 Guards.

 

[McGarnagle]

This guy looks depressed AF to be a Celtic

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Not gonna lie, I have no idea about anyone this draft or NBA potential.

 

[chizzler]

Boring.....

From Gary Washburn’s mock draft:

14. CELTICS
Romeo Langford, SG, Indiana
The Celtics need an explosive guard, and they need someone with immense potential. Langford is not going to knock you over with his personality (think Kawhi Leonard) but he has the potential to be a standout shooting guard. He comes from Brad Stevens’s home state of Indiana and he played last season with a torn hand ligament.

 

[McGarnagle]

Not gonna lie, I have no idea about anyone this draft or NBA potential.

Same, which is why I'm rooting for them to pick the guys with the funniest names and getting angry with Danny Ainge for not doing so.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

My impression is this is the worst draft of all time to have 3 1st rounders.

The 3 Draft experts over at CBS Sports had Langford going 15th, 16th and 15th overall so it looks like Ainge took the kid pretty much where he was expected to go.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Good pick by the pacers

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Bol still available at 20.

 

[McGarnagle]

I just want one of Bol or Tacko Fall

 

[dabid]
