??? The team is looking great in the long term. To say get rid of Brown is absolutely insane given his progression. Obviously he still has work to do on his shooting (although it looks a little better), handles, and especially FT shooting. But he needs time like almost every other young player.And as soon as The Best GM in the League And It's Not Even Close gets rid of those three brick-layers, plus Larkin & Nader, in exchange for players who actually have, you know, NBA-calibre shots, the better-off this team will be in the long run.
Not every player is going to be like Tatum and come in looking like a vet. Talk to me after next year and let's see where Jaylen is and how he has improved on his weak spots offensively. Defensively he is great.
Rozier and Smart are both good players off the bench and key to keeping up the intensity once the starters are off the floor. Both need to work on shooting, especially Smart who I am losing faith in where that is concerned.
So the only thing I can come close to agreeing with you on here is Smart. I prefer to have him because he brings a lot to the table. The question is giving him a pay day. Its hard to justify that with his terrible shooting.
If the choice is between Smart and Rozier, I lean toward keeping Terry. Then again I feel this way more so after watching Smart nearly piss away the game with bad shots and stupid selection. He can be a benefit offensively in other ways but when he pulls up for the shot I groan.
Ainge has put together a damn good club that is built for the future. With Gordon Hayward, this team is competitive in the NBA finals. Without him they still might make the NBA finals and they are very young.
Trying too hard to be pessimistic here, captain.
