Mike Dunleavy on Boston Celtics radar, according to report
Dunleavy’s an unrestricted free agent who averaged 11.2 points and 4.6 rebounds last season for the Indiana Pacers, visiting the playoffs — if you can believe it — for the first time since being drafted in 2002. Thus ended a playoff drought of Troy Murphian proportions.
I like Dunleavy. He can score. He can shoot (40.2 percent on triples last year). He’s relatively versatile. He’s from Duke. And he was once featured on Deadspin for wearing a tu-tu, which is actually a lot cooler than it sounds because I’m 99.999 percent positive he was just dressing up as Ace Ventura when Ventura pretended to be a mental hospital patient in order to snoop for clues regarding Ray Finkle. Who is Einhorn. Who is also Finkle. Who is also Einhorn. Who is both a man and a woman. Which only makes sense if you’ve seen the movie. Laces out, Dan.
I could discuss the merits of an Ace Ventura costume all day, but anyone willing to dress in a tu-tu in the name of comedy is okay with me. Especially if he averaged double figures last season for a playoff team and could potentially command a relatively cheap salary.

Assuming he’s FULLY recovered from his recent string of injuries (knee, I believe) he would be an excellent pickup, as he is a very smart player and can rebound, defend and run the floor well for someone 6’10″. He played really well when with the Clips, too. Go Cs..

Maybe Danny Ainge should trade Rondo for Dunleavy…

Sure would be nice if Danny was concentrating on this kind of stuff, instead of on idiocy like trading Rondo.
