Will Danny pick up Giddens's Option?

[Ortho Stice]

Giddens looks clueless every time he's on the floor. I would call him Gerald Green 2.0, but I think that would be too kind. He hasn't shown the ability to play at an NBA level for even 15-18 MPG, which puts Doc in the tough position of having to play either Allen or Pierce (usually Allen) for extended minutes. This may not be too big of a problem since we're blowing out teams and can afford to provide decent rest for the starters, but we can't rely on these blowouts for a whole season, which means Ainge needs to trade for a capable veteran at the SG/SF position. Even with the blowouts, Ray Allen is playing too minutes - Doc is unwilling to bench him even with 20 point leads in the fourth quarter; now that may be a problem with Doc as a coach, but the problem also lies in the available players on the bench.
