Drummond's percentages are so low because he likes to post up but doesn't really have the touch. It's not like he misses dunks and bunnies.

That’s the main issue he likes to take people off the dribble like he’s KD.

Has Evan Massey ever broken news? Legit asking

Yessir.

Theis will have a ring before anyone on the current roster does. He's a perfect fit as a bench big on a contender.

If you say so.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want us to sign Drummond. It's not like we would be leaning on him to be our best player. RW isn't going to be playing 48 min. Having a guy who can camp out and gobble up misses all night would be a huge addition for the playoffs. He's a top 3 rebounder in the league and is easily better than all of our bigs right now.

This is straight forward. Sign him

Of course he is. Nets are Lakers are the only teams people are interested in playing for.

Timelord is better than him by a lot man.

He's empty stats. Misses a gazillion bunnies at the rim (statistically worst finisher in the NBA) and plays zero defense. Just a terrible basketball player that'll get minutes away from Rob.

Pretty sure it's the same people who. think Ainge should be fired every year, Brad is a bad coach and Smart sucks.

Rob is not capable of staying on the floor. And he's also terrible on defense. Great at blocking shots...really bad at pretty much everything else. I don't see how he's a better player at all right now. He's certainly a better dunker?

Andre doesn't need to be the guy. He's never been in a winning situation. He can dominate the boards for us and give us so many extra possessions.

And ignore RW. I'd rather have Andre playing over Wagner, TT or GW

There is no way you watched last night's game and seriously thought this

Okay that's one game. I can go dig up some 5 block and great rotations game highlights for Drummond too. We can't pretend that RW doesn't look completely lost at times...like most of the time.

He's our future. 100%. He should get a lot of minutes. But we have minutes to go around, and Drummond brings some skills that RW just doesn't have. At least not yet. I'd way rather have Andre out there than Grant, Wagner or TT.

it's like someone started this narrative and some posters run with it. This is a bad take.

Ainge and Andre at a Chipotle. Done deal. Wish they wore masks though.

Will Drummond be in uniform against OKC tonight?

It's really not though. He can look great...he can also completely miss an assignment or rotation and go for obviously ball fakes. He's the starter though. I'm not saying he shouldn't be. What I am saying is that there is enough room for him and Drummond, and that andre can add an element that none of our other bigs can offer

I'd be cool with Drummond for the minimum as a backup to Rob. But I imagine the only way he'll choose us is if he gets to be a starter. SO I JUST DON'T KNOW.
