Seriously. There was an angry thread started post draft about how criminal it was that Ainge didn't take Perry Jones III. And it got bumped every couple of months for like 2 years.

Crowder, #3, and Bradley I could see dealing for Butler, but if those other parts included BKN2017, then count me out.
NBA needs to end this proposed trade nonsense on draft night with guys wearing the wrong hats. How long does it take to approve a trade?

Love how Bilas likes to throw out the names of guys about to be drafted like he's so knowledgeable and prophetic.
You know what's funny? Go check out SoSH's Rondo trade discussion. Presumably all those who were upset that Boston didn't pick Crowder in 2012 were crowing about getting him in that deal, right? Nope. His name was barely mentioned in that monster thread.
I resemble this remark.
Pretty sure Brooks was for the Nets - JaJuan Johnson was for the Cs.
