have  you watched him play?   he's a streak shooter, who stands around, has zero floor game or basketball IQ.  makes no hustle or off ball plays for the team or teammates, plus he's overpaid to boot. 

additionally, he's been described as a complete mute off the court, which adds nothing to the locker room. 

Sign Udoka now!!!!!   spreads the floor, big strong defender, cool guy.

I think its worth noting too that Pavlovic was rumored to be a favorite of Ainge's when he was drafted.  Not sure that means anything now, but Danny has been known to go after his Binkies. 

What? Like Danny ever traded for Telfair or tried to trade for Swift 5 times?  :P

I'd prefer Pavlovic to Wally. There are better options out there, but he's not as bad as people are making him out to be.

Why so much hate for  Pavlovic?

He struggled the past 2 seasons, but he has been a regular starter on the cavs team up until last year, and he was a huge contributor on the  team that made it to the nba finals. You can blame his struggles from the past 2 years on some nagging injuries, and that in turn made him lose his confidence and place on the cavs rotation. He is just a player that needs a change of scenery.


He is a more than capable defender, he can shoot the 3, he is excellent at finishing at the rim, he is a very talented player that just needs a fresh start. I think he would be a very good fit on this team.

Agreed.  Plus, he'd probably do well against his old team, Cavs. ;D
