If you want the Celtics to draft a guard (like Murray, Hield, or Dunn) then.....

[Eja117]

you must admit Smart is a bust (so far). 

You can't possibly be looking at a team that has drafted both Smart and Rozier and want yet another guard to go with AB and all star IT and be telling me Smart was just such a great pick.

If the Celts keep this pick I want a guard....because Smart is a bust. Tony Allen lite is not what I signed up for with the 6th pick.

If you want to tell me you want to trade the pick for a big that's a different story.

If you want to trade the pick for Butler and have a rotation of Smart, IT, and Butler, with Rozier in reserve that's also a different story.

No it just means the C's have too many defensive guards and not enough shooters. Bradley has the most trade value and I see him at the odd man out personally.

No. It means you think a guard is BPA. Countless people on this board have advocated a BPA strategy. Danny Ainge has done the same. We drafted Smart with Rondo on the Roster. Philly has drafted like 9 bigs. Milwaukee drafted Jabari with GA on the roster.

Chill out.

To address your point. I think if we draft a guard, we need to make a trade in the next year to clear up that logjam.

Smart looked pretty good in the playoffs... I would take his upside over Bradley at this point. He's almost as good on defense, can guard multiple positions and is a better passer. It took Bradley a few years to develop a consistent jump shot.

What good is the BPA if it forces some other best player to the bench?

I get that trades happen and must happen but currently Smart has no trade value.

Smart in his second season is a better player than Butler was in his second season and Marcus is younger than Butler in his second season. I would pump the brakes on Smart being a bust. Let's see what he does in year 3 and 4 before he is labeled a bust.

Butler's offensive stats totally blew away Smart's in his 2nd year. Also Butler got better in his second year, but Smart got worse.

Considering you can play at least two "guards" at all times, I think there's room for at least 5 "guards" on the roster.

Not contributors that get minutes. Maybe 3.5

I mean obviously after getting the third pick in the draft with the third best record in the Eastern conference there would be a "Smart is a bust" thread on Celticsblog 

[alldaboston]

Wanting Murray and not wanting smart are not mutually exclusive events.

We can want Murray AND also want to keep Smart

[__ramonezy__]

I would offer Bradley and our pick for Okafor. Then draft Hield

Or maybe such a person simply thinks one of those guards is clearly the BPA.
