Pressey is awful.
But does he have a good free throw percentage? How about fg%?
Rondo by now would've made such a difference. Surely he would have 3 rebounds by now and we'd be down less than 20.
Is that what happened a couple weeks ago when they beat the Wiz? Is that how it worked?
Are you referring to the game he shot 5-17 or the one he was benched in?
OMG! That's bad shooting? Wait. Did they win? I think I'm referencing the one they won and the one they lost in double overtime on the road. Rather amazing we managed to do that without BOTH Brandon Wright AND Jae Crowder!
I know, you're absolutely right. Rondo was single-handedly carrying us. We had such a great record with him and have completely fallen apart with him.
Now you get it. Team was respectable with hope for the future. Now it's laughable with prayers Danny Ainge pulls off a miracle with a TPE or something.
So overpaying Rondo or letting him walking him for nothing was a much better option?
I have said that again and again and again.
Please explain one more time
If he's as bad as people say you won't have to pay that much. If he's good he's probably worth it and his worth is more than just his stats. If he leaves you take the money off the cap. But you don't let people like players and other GMs stare you down and make you take crud for a great player and make you their ****.
Show the league you try to pay your players that do well. Make him walk away from a fair deal. If someone overpays him that's their problem.
So, you think Ainge lost a penis-measuring contest and you are vicariously enraged at that?
I can't really make any other sense of this argument.
1. Rondo sucks, so we won't have to pay him a lot.
2. Except Rondo really doesn't suck, so we should absolutely try to keep Rondo.
3. But if Rondo doesn't want to take our lowball offer, we should let him walk for nothing because...that will somehow make Boston the cool, tough kid in class that all boys want to be like and all the girls want to be with?
