Brandon Bass is a goner, that's all I know. With the emergance of Sullinger Bass is the odd man out seemingly.
i concur.
however to get what we need back we will need to give up another player.
i'd rather that be terry than: sully for obvious reasons, melo, because he could fabulous or lee because paired with bradley the c's perimeter D is the best in the league (imho).
so bass and terry gets us...?
probably not the young athletic impact big we're hoping for.
I think Terry will rpove his worth in the stretch run for a playoff seeding and during the playoffs.
Honestly, I hope Melo RIPS up the D-League and combined with Bass nets us the starting big we so desperately need. I hope Melo increases his value by dominating the NBDL because I don't think he has much of an NBA future.
Why? Because my son goes to Syracuse and is close with people in the basketball program. They say Melo had to leave school because he was flunking out. He says Melo is pretty limited mentally speaking. He says Melo had a hard time grasping Boeheim's simplistic basketball schemes and plays.
Chances are he'll never get NBA basketball and succeed at the level some think by simply reading his D-League stat lines.
So combined with Bass and Barbosa the Celtics could get a big with a salary in the Celtics could bring in a $10 million a year big man. I could go for that.
Interesting about Syracuse. Keep it under wraps till Melo is traded.
interesting,
I watched him play in portland a few weeks back and was impressed, not so much by his numbers (5 points, 5 rbs a few blocks) but by his demeanor, he hustled, was focused and listened to his coach.
I remeber folks saying KG was a block head coming out of high school. turns out he's the most articulate, savvy and funniest* men in the game.
*("honey nut cheerios"... ****)
i hope that, if we do package him, we find that young impact big who helps now and pairs well with sully in the future.
