OK. So who's the better PG right now? EP or Schroeder?

This may be a dumb question, but has zizic gotten any pt in BOS since he was drafted? I was looking for clips of him to watch but there seems to be nothing of him playing NBA ball. Only highlights playing overseas.

I detect a bit of sarcasm. "a decade or two" is a bit of an exaggeration. My point is if we are going to suck and build a team through the draft, then add a piece here or there to get us over the top, let's do that. We keep collecting young guys and rather than letting them develop, we bring in Jeff Green or Ibaka that effectively put our young guys development on hold. For what? To sell tickets? To try and make good on an overzealous goal to barely make the playoffs? I may be a bit off topic here and if I am, I apologize.

I HATE even thinking that this is true. I can only hope that this is just being put out there in an effort to say the right thing. Just seems that ever since we started the rebuild, we collect assets and get cap space, then we (the organization) gets impatient and wants to hijack the process by going out and getting guys that don't fit the timeline, or win now type guys and they start talking about playoffs when we're not even close to that. The proverbial 2 steps forward and 3 steps back :panicworker: #EmbraceTheTank

Why even trade Vuch?? Wouldn't that just put us where we were last year before free agency (Needing front court help)? If he's so valuable, why not keep him. Decent bigs on good contracts don't just come around all the time.

2019 I believe.

I would hate to see Vuch traded. He's on a good contract, and he's one of our most constant players throughout this season. Above all, he wants to be here. I'm hoping his defense continues to improve under FV.

Why in the world are we still giving Green and CJ playing time?? Shouldn't we be getting our tank on?? Shouldn't we be letting our young guys get the majority of the minutes?? At least Mario is out there.

Does anybody else think that there is some dysfunction in the locker room? The way Vooch was talking during the interview after the Dallas blowout, in so many words he basically was saying that there is some stuff going on and that the media isn't the way to deal with it. I'm just trying to think of who could be causing a stink in the locker room. I know guys get tired of losing, but our front office has gone out of their way to get guys that "fit the culture" and are good guys, or so they say. Wish I was a fly on the wall in that locker room after games. Also, you'd have to think there would already have been a reporter who would have put that out there if they see or hear of any drama in the locker room.

Still holding out for a trade with Toronto for Ross. Fingers crossed!

So what happens to EP if we take a PG in the draft? I feel we should definitely draft BPA and not for position, but would we just collect talent and let the chips fall where they may?? Not sure if that would cause problems in the locker room. Guess it can't get much worse than it is currently as far as records and product on the court is concerned.

This team is rough to watch at times. The only consolation is the hope for a high pick in the draft. Most of the time we look like 5 guys that had "next" at the neighborhood basketball court and are meeting each other for the first time before they get on the court to play. Anybody know what I mean? or have I just lost my mind?

Indeed. He looks uninterested out on the court. I've been a huge Mario supporter, but he looks like he doesn't even want to be on the court.

They're playing the way 5 guys that just met would play a pick up game. Maybe worse since most guys playing a pick up game would actually show some effort. Something needs to be done. This team needs some shaking up chemistry-wise. Hard to watch is right.

Not impossible, but highly improbable - I'd love to get Kristaps Porzingis. I don't like the knicks but I'll tune in when they're on national TV just to watch him play. I couldn't care less about the other guys on that team.

Crazy how we are in need of a young athletic 2 guard who can score. I miss VO. We should've never got rid of him in my opinion. He waned to be here too. Oh well. Hind sight is 20/20.

Nice! I can't stand that dude. He's like a European Tyler Hansborough. Get's on everyone's nerves when he's on the court. You only like him when he's on your team.

My son actually went up to him at summer league on Saturday and took a selfie with him and talked for a minute. My son told him how much he would miss him on the team and that it sucked he got traded. Dipo just told him "I know buddy, I know". Dude is probably genuinely upset he got traded. Sucks to lose guys that really want to he here, but that's the nature of the business. I hope it's for the best.

Touché! I stand corrected. I own a 2015 though. This is new for 2016. Well done kind Sir!!

FYI: Honda doesn't make a "Touring" civic. They make an SI, which may be what you were getting at. It has a little bit better engine with more horsepower and a sport tuned suspension along with a nicer interior and wheels. B) I know what you mean though. I own a Civic SI so I felt the need to chime in on your analogy. ...now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Vuc and Mario for Butler. Any takers??

Is this who we just got??? If so, I'm excited!!

Anybody ever walk into a really fancy shoppe or store and start looking around, then after looking at a few price tags you realize you can't afford or have no business spending that kind of money so you casually walk out?? We need Henny to do the equivalent of that and just come home tonight.

You and I both, man. I just can't help but think a signing like that could be Grant Hill 2.0
