We need a "shakes head sadly" emoticon.
Whatever would possess Danny to think that a low attention-span and intelligence player needs more minutes to be effective?
Smacks of "I'm not about to admit I was wrong."
It's over, Danny. You missed on Tony Allen. Twice. Now, get him out of town so we can spend that money on an intelligent basketball player.
This is absurd. Tony Allen is good with big minutes. There's nothing to dispute about this. Tony Allen was playing well before injuries hit again.
If you want to call out Danny for rolling the dice with injury prone players fine, but Tony Allen clearly has enough talent to be in an NBA rotation.
But just not as a 4-5 minute only role player on a smart championship team. Trade him Charlotte or Minnesota and start him and he'd be very productive playing 30 MPG.
I just hate his game and think bringing him but was idiotic and maybe the biggest surprise for me in all of Danny's off season moves.
Yeah, I agree. I understand Tony had that great stretch a couple seasons ago when he was putting up big numbers when he was one of the only things the team had going for it. But he's not going to get 30 minutes a night in Boston until the Big Three have been put out to pasture.
If he can't produce while being a supporting actor in the big show, maybe he ought to be the star in the off-Broadway production. I really hope Danny comes around on this during this coming offseason.
I also can't help but wonder if the same goes for Baby. Is he going to be able to go back to 15-20 minutes a night and be effective?
