Tom Heinsohn, the Celtics’ accomplished and animated renaissance man who was involved in all 17 of the franchise’s National Basketball Association titles as a player, coach, and commentator, has died, according to multiple people affiliated with the NBA. He was 86.

This fucking year
He was pure Celtic.

player-coach and outrageous voice of partisan Celtic pride.

I'm tearing up on this one.

RIP and give em all Tommy

Good player.  Good coach.  Love for the game never did wane.

What a character - from the early days of my hoopdom.

Be with the other legends, Tommy Boy.  Heaven is a tip in, not a tough 12 foot hook

Good info.
It's interesting how this draft seems to have a lot of strong player comps.
Toppin = Amare
Edwards = Oladipo
Wiseman = Whiteside
Okongwu = Adebayo
Avdija = other tall white guys who can shoot and pass
LaMelo Ball = Lonzo Ball

Of course that's just a basic help, cause it's hard to measure other factors motivation, mentality, development rate, team fit etc.  But the comps are useful and fun.

O'Connor is very high on Killer Hayes (his overall top prospect) and Kira Lewis (#10 pick).

He has Knix tapping Hayes.
Gad, Hayes would be a real gamble for NYK.
Another super young guy with a scant track record.
Hayes looked good last year playing against Germans, but had looked much more average in the better French league (at a mere 18).  That's all you have to go on.
Knox and Franc haven't exactly panned out, so can you really gamble on 19 year old int'l Hayes?

Knix desperately need a PG, but TyH and Vassell address our shooting woes and seem like much safer picks.  While Haliburton can man some Point, or be a complementary playmaker.

I am locked in now on dealing up.

Figuring we cant get Edwards - but he'd do for me if Leon goes that way.  My 3 main targets are Ball, Avdija and Toppin.

Nesmith or Smith if we stay at 8, though Vassell or Haliburton - again - if Rose feels strongly - sure.

Carey likely wont be there at 27 but many mocks say he will

Easy pick if a big wasnt selected with our first choice.  Carey will be relentless in this league.

OConnor is the first one I have seen to have Toppin out of the top ten - or even there when we select.

Toppin, with Cole Anthony at 8/27?  Don't tease me.

Let's hear a proposal then.
Who you giving up to get get to what slot?

I could see trying to move up for Ball, but he might go #1 and Knix don't have many assets to offer (especially if Mitch and RJB are off the table).

I figure we might be able to get the #2 pick if we kicked in Mitch.  Nobody here was interested (and I'd only do it if NYK were convinced Ball/Edwards were future all-stars).

I certainly take on the Wiggins salary to move to 2 though I don't believe they are looking to divest of Andrew.

Forget Minnesota and Charlotte.  Bulls unlikely but I am giving them Knox/Frank if they like.
I have to look more closely at 5 through 7.
