Damn Winslow op 10, denk dat dat achteraf nog wel uitgelicht gaat worden... En Okafor leek ook erg blij om naar Phily te gaan ipv LA
Zag een foto waarop hij bijna aan het huilen was haha
http://www.cbssports.com/(...)or-hornets-no-9-pick"According to ESPN's Chris Forsberg, the Celtics were so high on Winslow that they tried to trade six draft picks to the Charlotte Hornets for their No. 9 pick.
The Celtics made a strong final push to multiple teams in spots 4-9 on draft day. It culminated with an all-in effort in attempt to get Charlotte to deliver the No. 9 pick with Boston lusting for Duke forward Justise Winslow (the same player they coveted while trying to shuffle higher).

[i]ccording to sources, the Celtics' final offer to the Hornets was a package that could have featured as many as six draft picks, including four potential first-round selections (a combination of picks from this draft and in the future). But the Hornets could not be swayed and turned down multiple offers to select Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky.
[/i]Meeting with reporters in the aftermath of the draft, Ainge hinted at his team's dogged pursuit. "Maybe we were going too hard at it," he said. "There was a time when I thought, 'Woah, this is getting a little out of control.' We're putting a lot of eggs in one young player's basket. So I'm not frustrated. In the long run, maybe it'll be the best."
Six is greater than one...is Kaminsky really that good?
The Hornets targeted Frank Kaminsky before the draft and taking him with the ninth pick may have been a stretch but it is shocking to hear that Charlotte turned down six draft picks just so they could draft him. Charlotte was a playoff team a year ago and their refusal of this trade may point to their desire to not be a rebuilding team again. They were just awarded the 2017 All-Star game and with their whole re-brand last year, team owner Michael Jordan probably wants the Hornets to be a perennial playoff team."
Damn, 6 picks, turned down for Kaminsky? Kaminsky is goed, dat weet ik ook wel, maar de vraag is maar hoe zijn game in de NBA gaat zijn, ik zie hem nog wel een 2e Bargnani worden ook al mag ik z'n spel enorm van Kaminsky. En wie weet dat als ze de deal gemaakt hadden, ze Kaminsky alsnog hadden kunnen kiezen door zelf omhoog te traden van 16 naar bijv. 11/12.
Over 'what-if's' gesproken, dit kan nog wel een mooie worden, zeker met unprotected Brooklyn picks
