of all the moves, I loved the Austin Rivers to Clippers deal

it's essentially holding his son ransom for a second pick, and if he doesn't bite, o the Thanksgiving Father-Son reunion will be mad awkward
Given that the Clippers second round pick is the NBA equivalent to a bag of Doritos, I find this concept hilarious :)

C'mon.... Ryan Gomes!! And Amir Johnson! Oh wait we took Orien instead. But Ryan Gomes!!

Those late 2nd round spots have "EuroBig" written all over them, with "stash in Europe" as a subtitle.

Ainge usually goes with the flawed USA guy here, a guy that play without a position.  Like Glen Davis, or Powe but I can't recall him taking a EuroBig in the 2nd round.

As an Ainge nut-kicker, did you think it was a bad move?
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

Won't have much choice unless he can include them in deals. 13 picks including 8 2nds in the next couple of drafts.  A team can manage only 2-3 picks a year. Otherwise, BS is heading for the hills.  At some point the turnover has to cease for the team to get a real look at these players and to give BS a chance to have continuity vs showcasing half the time.

I wouldn't think it's terribly hard to swap a pick forward in any given draft (i.e., 2014 # 46 for future 2nd rounder). Cash at worst.

Someone's always looking for players, right?

Ditto. Find a lot of excitement over half of our picks to be hilarious.
