It's easy, and only takes a few moments.it's the exact opposite. you undervalue Reggie Lewis and ignore the fact the guy died very early in his career. don't tell me what early implies. I'm the one who wrote it. why kc did or didn't play Reggie is irrelevant. the fact is Reggie sat his rookie year thus slowing his development. 27 years old for Reggie was very early for his development. he was not yet is his prime IMO. not all players reach their full potential at age 27. the fact that you had to change your mind on DJ is ridiculous. it should have been obvious to somebody who watched the Celtics in the 80s. it isn't a valid debateJesus.
KC didn't think he was ready for big minutes. Period. Hes not starting a rookie or taking away major minutes from Bird, McHale and Ainge. Just like Bill said JE11 wasn't playing ahead of Welker. If Red wanted Reggie to play he would have played. I'll go with KC and Red's assessment of the player before yours. He played in 5/8s of the games. The said he was ready in Y2 and he did great.
You have got to be kidding me. Early implies first few years. Early is not a single year. Was Tom Brady buried "early" in his career? He wasn't beating out Drew. He needed time. Just like Reggie. You screwed up.
DJ and Ray is a valid debate. I thought about it more and revised my assessment. Of course DJ is a better all-around player. Ray is a better shooter. I stated that in many posts. You take Ray for 82 games and DJ in a Game 7.
I appreciate your love for Reggie but you are over the top in your defense of him and now to improve your position belittling my assessment of him and past players. Stop it.
Lol.I was driving home an hour ago and was listening to NBA Radio on Sirius/XM,
and heard that Danny was allegedly offering the Lakers/Kings pick, either the
2019 Clippers or 2019 Grizzlies pick, Jay Crowder and either Bradley or Zeller
for…one year of Paul George.
If true, then ownership must fire his stupid ass immediately.

actually, the rumor is George was going to sign a three-year extension as part of that deal. they have been talking about it all day on 98.5. also, the Celtics won't make the George deal unless they get Hayward or Griffin first. if this is true they should give Danny a raise.I was driving home an hour ago and was listening to NBA Radio on Sirius/XM,

they have been talking about it all day long 98.5 listening to it as we speak.IF George agrees to an extension, then Maybe the trade is a good one;
without an extension, then the trade is a disastrous one.
BTW, no mention of George's possible agreement on any extension was mentioned.
You are asking the impossible. Emotion is the starting point for all human activity, and shapes everything we do. There's no such thing as an emotion-less assessment of anything.

Danny has done this before. He's not giving up all that for a rentalIF George agrees to an extension, then Maybe the trade is a good one;
without an extension, then the trade is a disastrous one.

Think of them playing against each other.
Ewing would drop 30 and 15 on Garnett every time. So would Bill Walton, and he could take him in the post of away from the basket. Moses Malone, same thing.
Kevin Garnett was a fantastic player, lock hall-of-famer, probably one of the three or four best centers the Celtics have had.
But you clearly didn't see/don't remember Ewing, Malone and Walton. Those are all-timers. The abuse Ewing would put on Garnett on both ends of the floor wouldn't even be fair.
Who was a better player and who had a better career are 2 different questions.I saw all three, remember all three, and also I comsider length of career an achievement. Which Walton did not have. Garnett also had a longer and better career than did Ewing. Malone, I may have to reconsider as he was a monster for a long time. Now if the discussion is about who was best on their best day, to me that's a different discussion. Also, Garnett went 20-10 on average for 8 years in a row, while Walton never averaged 20 ppg in any year. I honestly don't see how that fact can reasonably be refuted in determining who played better.
Nope. It is the primary human mental activity and is what energizes and enables all "rational" thought.Only if you allow it.

He'll just become a Faker one year from now.Am I alone in enjoying the irony that the Lakers draft pick might prevent Paul George from ever becoming a Laker?
Sure, George will have his say regarding his future….but the reality at hand is that the Lakers' cupboard is quite bare.
