POLL: What to do with Brandon Bass?

[azzenfrost]

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the following observation. The Celtics sometimes have these lulls in game where nobody wants to shoot. They keep passing. I'm glad that Bass is in there because when even though he's been clanging his shots all night, if he's open, he'll pull the trigger and take his chances. It breaks the "shyness" of the other C's and they start going again. I say keep him.

Anybody who thinks Bass can be a very valuable player post Big 3 era is high.

Let him walk. Thanks for your solid contribution in 2012, but you're not worth the money.

Anyone who thinks player evaluation is this straightforward is brain damaged.

26 year old 2nd round pick having the best year of his career because he's playing with one of the best TEAMS we've seen. Nobody shares the ball like this team.
He's getting his numbers shooting wide open mid to close range jumpers.

I think it's pretty straight forward... Again, thank you for 2012, but you're not a big piece of the future. LOVE him for 2012.. I'm not paying him much for long after this.

Those are 3 great reasons to keep him, not to dump him: 1. only 26, 2. having the best year of his career, because 3.he fits this system well as "no one shares the ball like this team", and his money jumper and taking it to the rim and finishing strong at the hole compliment this team and make it better.

Give him 3-4 yrs at $6-8mil per.

Implied in the "no one shares the ball like this team" quote is that the team and specifically the Big Three make BBass (just as has often been implied in relation to them making Rondo, too). The big 3 didn't play tonight (Yah, Yah, I know it's Only the Cats)but BBass played big and conistently again.

To quote John Malcovich as the Russian crime boss/card shark in "Rounders":

"Pay him......pay the man his money".
