None of them fit in Boston? I have no idea how none of those guys could fit on a team, that will look completely different by as early as next year, with wide spread changes at the latest in 2015. If they were to trade Rajon Rondo for that pick, I guarantee you the only players currently on their team that will start the year with them in 2015 would be Sullinger & Olynyk, either of them could be traded. There might be a chance they extend Bayless and Bradley in a bench role, and Gerald Wallace might be stuck on the team because of his contract.
 
But come on man, this is one of the worst teams in the league, the roster is going to be turned around completely.
 
By the time the Celtics are contending, Rondo will be in his 30s and wanting a new max contract. Hasn't played a full season since '09-'10.

So you'd be fine with trading a PG for a downgraded PG, or take a PF so we can trade away our other PFs that we've drafted in the past 2 years & have played fairly well so far


That's not how you rebuild. You don't step backwords to rebuild; you either restock with talent, or you clean slate. We are in clean state mode. You don't trade the asset you have to just step back and be mediocre/terrible for years

Previous season high was Terrence Ross with 17 threes. Steph Curry and Jeff Green had 16, Paul George and Marcus Thornton with 15.

Something I found really interesting. Greg Monroe is shooting 5% better and averaging .13 more points per shot this season with Josh Smith ON the court. 57% of his shots come at the rim with Smith on the court, where as that percentage drops by about 5% with Smith off the court. So he's obviously taking more low percentage shots away from the rim with Smith on the bench.

The Pacers just flat out suck now.

I'd say it's not too soon to hit the panic button.

yea because we need someone to take those bad long twos when josh isn't on the floor.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Good reasoning lol
 
Brandon Jennings is shooting sub 39% with Smith on and off the floor.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm sure everyone will disagree, but Portland isolating Aldridge in the post just doesn't scare me.  Infact I prefer it.  It's when the ball starts moving or when they get dribble penetration and can kick it out is what scares me.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

These last two weeks killing AD's averages on the season are so depressing.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Ryno should be ready to go about a week after the team reports to training camp for next season!

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Jesus christ NBA officials suck.

Four point game, a minute left, and they send LaMarcus Aldridge to the line on a clean play.

"There's nothing there" as David Wesley put it after showing the replay.

Brandon Jennings is shooting sub 39% with Smith on and off the floor.

So Brandon Jennings is simply shooting sub 39% then?
