Would David Lee's game suit us? 

Post#1 » by didak » Thu Jan 21, 2016 11:23 pm

Celts are looking to deal him out. Whats his salary situation?

Can score in and around the hoop something Vuc needs help with as we're becoming to predictable.

If we can fit him I say grab him. No doubt has the talent as we witnessed in NY a couple of seasons back and has a championship under his belt. Surely we would look at him?

Go ahead... Rip into me guys :D

Yeah, we'd give him 20-30 minutes and people would defend his minutes over our young guys while we still lose games. Bring him in 8)

This.

Also we already have the 7 foot version of him in our starting line up. But we don't need any more mediocre vets IMO.

Nah, I'd rather accelerate AG's development than waste time with Lee.

Yeah youre not obsessing over this stuff at all. Way to prove me wrong haha. Time to get out of victim mode man, you arent a better coach than Skiles and you have like 5% of the information compared to him.

Maybe, just maybe, AG and Mario are not ready... #mindblown

As for Lee? **** no. He sucks.

Sorry for wanting to have our draft picks become more involved, at least not well below average any other team in similar positions. It's not like nobody else feels this way and the team isn't mired in a 1-8 slump losing the same way every game. Boy, am I crazy.

Couple seasons back? Dude it's been 6 years.

He turns 33 in April, so obviously his best days are behind him. Even when he was "good" he was widely regarded as one of the worst defensive big men in the league, and a 1st Team Empty Stats guy. Like has been mentioned already, we've already got our hands full trying to save Vucevic from a similar fate.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Lol AG isn't ready?

Do you watch the games my man? I don't think you're in a position to really criticize how I feel about the team considering most of your posts are yelling at Oladipo...

More passive aggressive crap in an attempt to make yourself feel like the smart guy. How boringly predictable.

I just want to know what "isnt ready" means. Like, isnt ready for more than 5 shots a game? Not ready for 20 minutes? Not ready to start on a team in a 1-8 slump? What's the context? If you mean not ready to be involved on a Draymond type level, sure, that's not what I'm going to bat here for.

He has a good and and the backs it up with a bad game. Its ok thats hes inconsistent but its a sign that hes not quite ready to start. Second year player who is very young, getting 20mpg while he develops seems spot on.

You've yet to substantiate why AG isn't ready yet, though. (edit: I guess you did now in your last post)

Now sure how you equate that with being smart. Just seems like a common basketball move to play somebody playing well when the rest isn't working. If Skiles starts him next game, is he automatically ready in your eyes? You'd think I'm asking for us to start Shabazz. :lol:

Allow me to introduce you to Evan Fournier, Channing Frye and Tobias Harris. Actually Fournier has been consistent of late. Consistently horrible.

Well sure, in certain circumstances. But not in ours. He's certainly not a finished product, but despite that, he's objectively better than at least 1 guy ahead of him (Frye), and probably a couple more. The number 2 isn't a huge number, but it's a bigger number than 1. So if you're listing numbers in descending order, 2 is going to come before 1. That's very basic. We're actively hurting our chances of winning if we're not playing our best players. And to compound the issue, AG is a guy who is presumably an important part of our future, so it behooves us on multiple levels to play him.

Skiles is an NBA coach and I'm not, but no one will convince me to defer to his wisdom on this issue, because he's wrong. I have all the information I need to make that declaration.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I would just be afraid of how he pairs up with Vuc. A front court of those two is open lanes for everybody. Teams would avg 80pts in the paint vs us.
