I am not sure we giving up as fans. This is just more of the same. The contract has a whole clause about health. It isn't just fans. Sure six to eight weeks. And then what? I want him to be healthy. But he's often not.
Not a tanker fan. not enjoying this. BUT allegedly we should get a good draft pick so honestly.... on to the draft with an every once in a while glance and the box score. Watching the game is asking for frustration, and I have enough in 2022.
I like Isaac's potential, he's still on my fantasy basketball team (drafted and on ir), but if Celtics say Isaac, 1st, and, filler for brown.... Do you say no? Last update I see is from nov 26...
This. Playing to los...develop. Trade Fournier. Career high year(starting SG previously averaging 13/game..smdh) Maybe trade Vuc if he nets enough. I don't want to but if its 1st round + young pieces. Start Bamba. Start Okeke. I said it after the Fultz injury, do we really think this team wins the trophy this year? If not, development of young players is a must.
Is it ok if we just stay as currently constructed and let it run its course? I mean only sign vet if needed(let the youth grow). No trades, unless its a steal(Fournier for McCollum style). Let Cole get run. Fournier expires. Yes I would love to win championship(EVERY YEAR) but also don't think we win a championship missing most important piece(arguably vs Vuc).
I think the ref may start out even or leaning one way or the other. better team probably gonna win. But LeBron gonna get his calls. And as the game goes on, the more a player/team berates or complains, the ref may or may not choose to shift how they call a game. Not all calls but enough calls to appease.
Winning team usually doesn't complain about a foul or two when they are blowing out "inferior" team. Why? Because it doesn't matter. They busy dancing. So why complain when the game close? I say because in part they believe if they complain enough there will be calls/no calls made in their favor. I won't go full blown nba conspiracy theory big city vs little city but I hope you get where I'm coming from.
Just finished watching the first half of the game on afn....Durant face when he got called for a foul on vucevic. Almost broke the man arm. Shessh. I see what y'all was saying about those refs. As if they let his demeanor get to them and it started affecting the calls.
I get not settling but unless we are giving up "assests" er players, what other options do we have to fill our PG position? I don't want to settle either but if on a one year deal I don't see how we do better for a potential starting PG for just this year. I am all in for Kemba if we trading Vuc/Fournier/a pick or two. Other than that the Lin/Chalmers/etc is a more settling option than than IT. Trust me I wish we could do better. I just don't like the other options. It's like do you think the Lebron Lakers prefer Mcgee and Rondo over AD and CP3? No but you take what you can get in hopes in makes us better and if it doesn't then if not it is a one year contract you cut your loses. Lin/Chalmers @ 3 year contract < IT @ 1 year contract. Just I am no GM and this is only my opinion.
I was just on NBA.com looking at free agents and I saw IT. Why not other than injury? The contract would be a prove it like suggested. Offensive spark. Decent APG average.
I like defense at my 5 position personally. So I would say yes to Birch/Biyambo combo going forward. As for who would take Vuc....I think Edge Water High School is look for some offense.
