More like AB> Jordan!  ;D

Jordan Crawford, yes.  I'm still thinking AB might serve us best as tradebait at the deadline.  I'm still not sure I buy into the Celtics extending him long term for double digit millions when they could upgrade to a Lance Stephenson instead for just a couple mill more.

I think they're nearly equal at this point. If Pressey plays a main role in Spike Lee movie, he's an instant HOFer. Or, at least, a starter till Rondo heals up.

If you consider prime Ray as about a 21million per yearish guy and prime Avery as a 7 millionish guy then the question is would I rather have 3 ABs or one one Ray.....maybe in that case Avery is better.  Then I have 3 first team defense guys who can score.  3 Ben Wallaces? 3 Dennis Rodmans?  Well those guys didn't play offense much.  Hmmmm....maybe Avery

Playing 3 ABs at the same time would make us pretty short at SF.

And putting up 14 shots per game to average 14.8pts at a .441 FG% is really not a negative factor. Especially when he had an even better FG% before his shooting slump in the month of January.
Not only is it a negative factor, it's also pretty much a guarantee that he's not really a viable scoring option on a team that has any sort of ambitions.

Oh yeah, and by the way -- in his last 2 full seasons with the Celtics, a 35-year-old Ray Allen was scoring 16 points on 12 shots.

He's not really a viable scoring option on a team that has any sort of ambitions? That's a stretch. He's just not a Top scoring option is more like it. But that doesn't matter, cause he's not on a team fighting for a high seed right now. And he is only the 2nd scorer on the Celts this yr, for lack of any consistent scorers to defer to besides Green.

Oh yeah, and by the way-- I never once posted in this thread that Bradley is better than Allen. That argument is just silly, assuming the comparison is based on Bradley now vs Prime Allen, rather than 38yr old Judas. I've just been posting to defend Bradley from all the haters who give him no credit & think he's a chucker.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Bradley sucks, it's blasphemy to connect the two names in a sentence like this.

It's Ray Allen man. Come on.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he sucks, but no comparison to Ray.
