Ho-lee-crap on Giannis. Particularly in the shoulders... he looks ready to play PF.

Of course, what he really needs is a better jumper... but that's pretty impressive.

Screw Ty Lawson.

Reckless driving and or DUI really pisses me off since it's a thing that can be avoided at pretty much every situation. Zero excuses for DUI fools.

Calves are even more impressive. Too many players are chicken legged. Building legs will help him keep his speed/explosiveness as he bulks up his upper body.

how many forwards they got???

coordinator0 · Post #745 » by **coordinator0** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 7:38 pm

A lot. I think this is their team right now:

PG: Smart - Thomas - Rozier - Pressey
SG: Bradley - Hunter - Babb - Thornton
SF: Crowder - Turner - Young - Jones III
PF: Johnson - Sullinger - Jerebko - Mickey
C: Lee - Olynyk - Zeller

Lee and Olynyk are power forwards but they will probably play center since Zeller is the only other guy on the roster that fits there. It's a deep team, but nothing particularly special.

I'd love to do a Meeks/PJ3 trade with them.....they could use more SG help IMO, and we could use PJ3 and his versatility - potential long-term stretch-4.

I am pretty confident that Perry Jones will never be good. He's Anthony Randolph with even less production.

coordinator0 · Post #748 » by **coordinator0** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 9:31 pm

Jones isn't a stretch four. He doesn't have the strength nor is his soft playing style a fit there even in that role.

I can't believe that team made the playoffs last year. I think that is an indictment on how bad the bottom of the Eastern conference was. Had we not had that 10 game skid after the Jackson trade people would be talking about us as an up and coming team. I predict the Celtics miss the playoffs next year.

Don't forget Brad Stevens. He had 2-3 years to get players he liked and to put his system in. SVG should be well on his way too

Perry looked good when he got the minutes with okc,he definitly has enough potential to take a flier on.

Not to mention pro sports teams (maybe even the league? I think the NFL might have something in place) will literally pay someone to drive you home.

What's worse is the fact that Ty did a commercial thing for Lyft which is the same thing as Uber.

I can't believe the celts added another damn power forward. WTF is Danny doing over there. It's like the wayward home for giants.

brendan dawson was signed by the clippers. i like to remind everyone that i was the only person in this forum that said we should draft brendon dawson in second round. hillard was such a wasted pick. when are the pistons going to add me to their scouting department? :lol:

I'd chill on Brendan Dawson. We haven't seen how his complete lack of offensive skills will translate to the NBA yet. He likely has to be able to guard PFs to stick in the league.

Ya I'd ease up on those expectations. 370lbs josh smith did work in sl. I think Dawson is too raw to be productive immediately. His offense game isn't there and defensively his technique is poor. He's also a tweeter.
