"Terrible Terrence"? I like it!

Let's have a Terrence Ross name alliteration show down.

Terrible, tawdry, timorous Terrence , tediously taps tinder, a terrific tanker, totally trips while trying a tip-in.

If he is not careful his new scenery will be out of the nba and playing in China

Whoever gets Ross is going to get more out of him than us. If I was Ainge I'd dangle Bradley to extract Ross and a serious pick. Ross and the 2015 isn't enough for Manimal. I mean Casey loves guards.

Prefer Manimal or A Bradley. I'm wary of Turkish players.

During those last 16 games the Nets, Cavs, Kings, and Warriors(who put on an epic late season tank) all passed us
*warriors tied and won the coin toss

It was shocking we weren't picking at least 6th, so depressing. Clearly our management wasn't interested in Drummond but we would have been picking between Lillard and Barnes.

Fortunately we'll never have to see that management regime again.

So it's official TRoss surpasses Vasquez and Demar as prime RGM board goat.

by far the worst player in our rotation...but he still has potential, i only see him playing 15-20min rest of the way, jj and lou play before him even vasquez sometimes...ross gotta just keep it simple the rest of the season to contribute, play hard D, chase rebounds, take ur shots, and look to pass it often every time else cus i dont trust him doing much else

Does Ross have personal issues? Maybe, maybe not. But so does half the NBA and they fight through it.

Ross is not mentally tough. He's still afraid of contact. Plus, he's 24 y/o - so he's not a young kid. He's not a gym rat either, so he's not going to improve his game like DeMar and Kyle have.

Unless Ross receives a personality transplant (which isn't happening), nothing much is going to change with him. Masai should trade Ross while he still has a 'potential' tag attached to him. Otherwise, Ross is an asset that will deliver diminishing returns.

A few years back, you would've said the same things about Gerald Green.

How much you guys want to bet Terrence Ross is playing someone in NBA 2k15 right now?

A few years back, you could have said the same things about Bargnani. How did that work out?

The difference is that Green had an edge to him. He struggled because he was a knucklehead, but he got past it and became focused.

Ross is a more passive personality whose gives-a-sh-t meter is not there and thats not likely to change. Fact is he's the first guy to leave the gym when he should be the last one.

If GG had that edge he never would've flunked out of the nba in the first place.
And that's the crux of the argument. There's no signitificantly motivating factor to trading Ross now. He's a young talented player on a rookie contract. You at least keep him around and see if that light bulb switches on.

Bradley is significantly better than Ross. Boston would have no reason to even contemplate that. They're the same age, and they've already locked up Bradley on a really nice contract going forward.

If you want to keep dreaming, that's your perogative. But if you want to maximize the diminishing asset, you trade Ross in the next six months - which is likely what Masai will do.

Good Joey>>>Ross
We waited too long waiting for Good Joey to stay consistent until he was out of the league. I hope we don't make the same mistake again.

The whole having a kid probably overwhelmed him. this extended break will probably have playing better. I hope.

Well it's not like the baby just appeared out of the blue. He's been playing terrible ever since the Brooklyn series last year.

That is already an extended period of time.

If Masai does that he's really nothing but a BC clone.
And yes I will keep dreaming...better than setting lofty expectations for someone and then hating on them when they don't deliver.
