I'm just laughing at nola telling me that Boston is taking Dunn, when it literally couldn't be more obvious that its a leverage move
Lol dude, when have I ever said they are taking Dunn? I've literally said three or four times in the last 24 hours that Dunn could very well not be the pick. This is your problem, you literally imagine people saying something and then run with it, when in fact they never said that.

And you believe what you want, but I will take a 137 game sample size over 1 game that Marcus Smart played well in. What Marcus Smart does well can be replaced. It's ok you have a man crush on him because he plays hard and had 1 good outing on a big stage, but don't be blind to the fact that the guy is a bad basketball player. He's a good defender, definitely helps the team in that aspect, but his offense is so bad it negates what he does defensively, and as a result the Celtics were better with him on the bench this year than off of it. Completely different from guys like Bradley, Crowder, and Olynyk who the Celtics were significantly better when they were on the court.

My personal favorite story line of the draft, is how Ainge ripped on the quality of the last few drafts, and now thinks this is a good draft

As a fellow Celtics fan, I'll say that picking Dunn isn't completely out the window. However, picking him and having him on the roster by the start of next season is. Smart is very raw but he's shown he can defend and an elite level and he was a top 10 pick just a few years ago. You don't bail on him especially after the playoffs he just had. Plus, a lineup that consists of IT, Bradley and Dunn would be a disaster.
 
The most realistic and ideal scenarios now are a trade for Okafor, a trade for Jabari or selecting Murray or Hield.

I remember Maker played for Country Day in Metairie as a Freshman and his dad suspiciously just packed him up one night and moved him. Always thought that was weird, even CD's head coach was shocked to find out.

Cavs trying to visit the White House before Obama leaves office. Would have been terrible to be the first to visit President Hillary
