 I just want you imagine this.  Your Kris Dunn. Your career hasn't gone as planned,  banged up and underperformed. 

 Your career is in Flux.  You could be out of the league if you don't turn things around quickly.  You get the call that your hometown Boston celtics traded for you.

 This could be a good buy low move from Brad. A lot of people wanted Dunn third overall coming out of PC. [dang] made a great pick with Brown,  but if Dumms healthy he's a big add for this defense.

 What's great is he's so long and strong can guard three positions with ease.  Almost 6'10" wingspan and such a smooth athlete.

I would like to have seen him get a shot here, but after signing Schroeder, I think he’s gone.  There’s no playing time available for him and they’re not going to want to keep his salary.  Hopefully, Brad will trade him to a team that has a role for him and that he stays healthy.

if you are trying to show a great defensive line up then perhaps pritchard needs replacing. romeo would fit better i think.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Teams that could be interested: Pistons, Rockets, Timberwolves, Spurs, Wizards... Seems like a Thibs guy.

I was really, really high on Dunn at draft time - his defensive versatility, athleticism, toughness, work ethic and apparently potential as a playmaker and finisher around the basket always intrigued me.

His jumper is the real question mark.

Problem is that aside from defence (which I still say hasn't impressed me much), there is absolutely nothing Romeo can do at an actual NBA level.  He's going in to his third NBA season and he's still struggling to look competent against Summer League competition - the same competition that Pritchard and Nesmith are excelling against, as you would expect any rotation-calibre NBA player should. 

I sincerely think Langford is going to struggle to earn himself a contract in the G-league.  He can't handle the ball, can't shoot, has some of the worst playmaking skills I've ever seen for an NBA guard, can't stay healthy, seems to have terrible basketball IQ, and he plays with absolutely zero passion / fire / hustle.  I really have no clue why he hasn't been waived or thrown in to a deal just to get rid of him.

 Really just wanted to show we can play two, three, or four PGs with the current roster.  A huge deal because I was scared crap with only Prichard and Smart as the only real PGs

Or you could trade Smart and keep Dunn and have him play the role of defensive stopper off the bench
