Big three are great individual talent but none of them are imo franchise type players who can carry a team not only by talent but influencial leadership, sacrifice.
When you see kg pounding his chest, cheering other guys when the celtics are winning thats all great but during this crappy streak he hasn't done that nor encouraged the other players much.
Dannys inability to sign posey is looking worst and worst for the org.
i'd like celtics to do whatever possible to get a leader even if that means trading perking, giddens, walker for example.
It is rare to expect the celtics to have three good players like pp, kg, ra in starters health, in one team again.
uhhhhh....
lemme address this in pieces.
Big three are great individual talent but none of them are imo franchise type players who can carry a team not only by talent but influencial leadership, sacrifice. Pierce led us all through last season, especially the playoffs. He has been scoring consistently throughout this slump. The fact that we are losing has nothing to do with lack of leadership.
Especially since we have KG, who is an impassioned leader who inspired a team that was almost dead-last in every defense category to become the best defensive team in the league last year.
When you see kg pounding his chest, cheering other guys when the celtics are winning thats all great but during this crappy streak he hasn't done that nor encouraged the other players much.
He only pounds his chest when the C's are winning because that's the only time he gets overcome with the adrenaline of success. He works incredibly hard out on the court, and when he knows his effort have brought his team a win, he lets loose with a torrent of primal emotion.
There is nothing to cheer most of the other players on for. They have been playing horribly for the most part.
Dannys inability to sign posey is looking worst and worst for the org. It was not an inability to sign Posey. It was a strategic decision. Had the Cetlics offered Posey 1 more year on his deal, he would have stayed with the C's. Instead, Danny let him walk because we will need the cap flexibility to reload our team in the future. He made the decision to try to extend our window as an elite team. I agree we miss Posey, but not as much as we miss PJ.
i'd like celtics to do whatever possible to get a leader even if that means trading perking, giddens, walker for example. Trading Giddens and Walker would never bring us a leader in return. They are bottom feeding players. Hopefully one day they can be more, but right now there is just no chance any team would make a deal like Chauncey Billups for Giddens, Walker and Scal. Those guys have no value to the rest of the league.
And I would NEVER trade Perk. NEVER.
It is rare to expect the celtics to have three good players like pp, kg, ra in starters health, in one team again. I don't really understand this point... what are you trying to say? We won't remain healthy?
