You're a team that is acting like a they're trying to get to the playoffs but are really just pretenders. Shouldn't you be embracing your youth, taking your lumps, and developing together like most great teams do. Mudiay is just 20 y/o and he should be getting 35 mpg. Murray should be your starting SG and you let those two play/learn/develop together. Why is Nelson getting minutes? Barton? Seems to me like your only hope is for Mudiay, Murray and Jokic be the foundation of your future along with a high pick in 2017 after tanking and whatever you can get in trades for some of your decent role players. So play the kids even if it means you might lose games and get MAYBE worse production. Why the hell did you draft Murray anyway? Wouldn't Chriss, Maker, Zizic or some other wing or big be better?


Oh thank you, BOS wise one :roll: We already know that but Malone is trying to win games and get us in the playoffs, he doing what he thinks (?) is right for the team...and no we aren't about to trade him to the C's. Thanks for those back-handed assessment, you're in true BOS fashion there, real classy :banghead:

Exactly right - I'm not sure there is a single Celtic that I'd trade Murray for. He's got too much potential. Not saying there aren't some good players on the Celtics but their best player is a short PG, even as great an offensive player as he is and as hard as he works on defense - nope. A veteran center that I like but doesn't fit our future - nope. Some really nice role players? Nope, we've got those too.

So can I return the question to you jrob? Why did you draft Brown anyway? "Wouldn't Chriss, Maker, Zizic or some other wing or big be better?" You should "play the kids even if it means you might lose games and get MAYBE worse production?" Third pick of the draft ought to be playing more than 13 mpg, after all, the Nuggets' #7 pick is probably being under utilized and he's getting more minutes than that.

Perhaps you ought to think a little before coming in attacking.
