Celtics Talk / Re: Why did we make the Vuc trade?
« Last post by Goldstar88 on Today at 02:30:43 PM »I think it's both. But as you say, the "1A" is likely the fit and the "1B" is likely the savings.
I am skeptical of the fit, but am happy to be proven wrong. Garza has developed immensely, hopefully Vucevic can do the same on defense.
Garza is not a good defender. Teams seem to feast in the paint when he?s in the game. Not saying Vooch is a great defender, but he does a lot of other things at a high level. His passing, especially. Also a better rebounder, better scorer. Garza is fine as a 3rd string C, but the Celtics needed an upgrade at that position and I?m glad they made the move.
I agree. I brought up Garza as an example of another defensively-limited guy who has shown some moderate improvement. I am hoping Vucevic can also show some moderate improvement.
Personally I worry Vuc could be like the Evan Fournier acquisition years ago. A talented offensive guy in his own right, but limited in ways that ultimately make him not worth keeping considering the cost.
I agree with this.
Well, they made it work with Simons who also isn?t a great defender. Not sure why they can?t do the same with Vooch. I would stick with Queta as the starter, though. Need Nikolas offense off the bench.
