Wishful thinking: Smart + Young = Westbrook + Durant?

[badshar]

Marcus Smart (athletic guard) + James Young (explosive small forward that can shoot) = Russell Westbrook (athletic guard who can shoot) + Kevin Durant (pretty-explosive small forward that can shoot)?

Hey, don't get mad at me. I said it's wishful thinking!

[manl_lui]

idk about Young, but I have very very high hopes for Smart

[CelticsFanFromNYC]

I wouldn't put all your marbles or rent money on young becoming durant now!!  Right now I see Tayshaun Prince when he got a chip with detroit!

Its best if you don't start hoping that the 17th pick turns into the league MVP caliber player.

More like Lance Stephenson and Danny Granger, who never played together at their peaks much.

Hey, anything can happen. Greg Oden ended up not playing for several years and Ginobili as the 57th pick ended up being one of the most important parts of the Spurs championship runs.

wishful thinking? no.

heavy drinking thinking? could be.

Think Smart can be better then Lance. Reminds me when he use to spank our H.S. team back in 09 (I wasn't playing). Danny G. though... maybe better then the present Granger! not in his prime

wishful thinking? no.

[dang] it Hwang, now I want to drink

I think Smart can be about as good as Westbrook and maybe even better if he can learn to get others involved consistently. Westbrook has an instinct to take over for stretches that are too long.

Otoh with Young, who knows what you have really? He needs to fill out some and get more experience and then maybe more K. Leonard like.

It's quite a potential haul but one never knows.

[The Rondo Show]

I think Smart has the potential to be Westbrook or even better


Young = Durant though?

Ha

He will be good role player

[Celtics4ever]

Wishful, I think this is a full blown hallucination or flight of fantasy.

[celticmania]

That is blasphemous

[vinnie]

I'm getting dizzy. I thought Smart was already better than Dwade? As off Young, my guess is he will make the entire league forget about Durant.

Wishful thinking is an understatement
