Do they have a supplemental draft after the real draft?

Hey "stay in your lane" buddy. I'm busy whining about Danny right now..
free-for-all with all the undrafted players.
maybe from you because you're impatient and don't understand how this works

Tim Tebow to the Mavs.

I'm definitely inpatient, but I know how the process works. I predate Pierce bruh.

Kelly Olynyk.

Exactly, he would be more valuable in a trade than he would be on the Celtics roster. Danny needs to balance this shit out, he can't go into the next season with 3 bigs, 3 guards and 98938123 wings.
Nothing that the Big Baller Brand can't fix. Pre order the Z02s to be as your cheese to go with that whine.
They took Tatum because if the evaluation was close then asshat Jackson making Ainge and co fly out to Sacramento to cancel his workout sealed the deal. Him and his agent can get fucked. At least lonzo straight up said in not working out with you and didn't waste their time.
So you're at least 20 years old, that's good! I had no idea

Yeah that was bullshit, glad we passed on Jackson if that's the mentality he would bring up along with broken ass shot.

I haven't seen green-on-green infighting like this since KG and Pierce buried Ray Allen.

Scuttlebut on twitter is George to Boston may be done but for cap reasons they need to sign their max free agent first so the trade will go down after that.

assets vs. action
Let the battle rage on. They are in too good a spot to squander it!
Also, who is the Ray Ray guy you speak of?
I don't know how they can sign a max free agent and still get PG but sign me up lol
And yet that was the smartest move of the draft night. Aside from Minnesota fleecing Chicago.

And some talks about an extension being in place. That would be pure evil to the Lakers lol.

Taking the flier on Giles is an ok move when you remember that the kings don't own their 2019 draft pick. Have Giles work with your medical staff for year and hope his game comes back.
Trust the cap

I heard someone, can't remember who, on a radio interview saying the Celtics could hold off on a deal until after they land Hayward. Makes sense since they need cap space to sign a FA, but they just need the numbers to match on a trade.
Seriously? I'd be beyond thrilled to get Hayward and George both long term.

Would certainly mean doomsday for IT if true. They can't have IT/Hayward/George and Horford all maxed.

Anyone credible reporting this?
In 2017, we are going to be mondo to the max.

Of course not. Boston conspiracy theories. Kevin McHale ain't a GM anymore. So these pipe dreams mean nothing
Adam Kaufman has connections; he's not making it up out of thin air. And Woj and Roto were reporting that the conversations were pretty far along last night.
It makes sense to me that a deal was always more likely to be finished during the FA period than the draft.
So I think it's at least somewhat credible.
I've never met a happy Knicks fan.

It would have to be wink wink regardless.. can't trust that.

Exactly why I wanted them to stay away from PG last night. Unless there is something in writing, I wouldn't give up any assets for him this season, knowing he is off to LA next year.

When was the last time they had a reason to be happy? When Thomas left?

Knicks fans are almost always wrong on draft picks, though. They hated the KP pick and loved Tim Hardaway Jr.

I saw Kaufman reporting that, not sure how particularly credible he is. Which makes sense, Danny said he wouldn't do rentals in the past trade deadline and now George would be an even bigger rental so why even explore that trade?

I don't think it would need to be secretive. But Lowe points out it also doesn't mean it's likely to happen.
Saw the same thing I have no clue about the ValidityI don't think it would need to be secretive. But Lowe points out it also doesn't mean it's likely to happen.
You explore it to see if you can make the Lakers panic and give up assets they don't need to or have to in order to get PG.

The Celtics couldn't give less of a fuck about the Lakers tbh.
we have their pick next year that's not true at all
Who cares about the Lakers? They are terrible, they gave a fool control of their team, they are in the other conference and their best plan for improving appears to be getting two separate top-15 players (including the best player in the NBA who has made 7 straight finals) to sign with them in FA so they can spend their post-prime years playing with 20 year old Ingram and Ball.

I think he is saying the Pacers could be leaking those talks to try and leverage LA
Knicks fans also wanted Steph Curry
