Because the optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist the hole?
You know, it really would have simplified things had Danny just
dumped Obie and become our GM/Coach. 

Also, did you catch this in Murphy's (Herald) article today? 

< The longer he was in a Celtics uniform this summer, the more one
particular phrase was attached to second-round draft pick Brandon 
Hunter.

``He's going to play in this league, for someone.''

Celtics coach Jim O'Brien said it. Director of basketball development
Leo Papile, Hunter's earliest booster, said it.

And finally Danny Ainge, the toughest sell of all, had to admit it as
well. The director of basketball operations, who ultimately gave 
approval on the two-year contract that the 6-foot-7 Hunter signed 
yesterday, knew that someone was going to give the kid a job. >

No one has wanted to believe this, but all three draft picks were
actually Wallace/Papile ideas.  Ironic, eh?
