Why Is Glen Davis still on this team?

If there is a thread I'd like to be burned, This is it.

Did you say you wanted it bumped?

nice, most epic thread ever

[Birdbrain]

Write it down and remember you heard it here first....

Glen "Big Baby" Davis will be the first big off the bench and this team's first player off the bench 95% of the time this season.

He will also play more minutes than any other bench player.

I suspect this will be the case as well and rightfully so. 

I'm sorry to hear sheeds retiring but, one side effect 'might' be less 'trade BBD' threads.

No these threads are good.  They get the +/- guys opinions out there.  It's too bad we have to wait another year for to be proven wrong.

Did you know that BBD gets his shot blocked (lol)? 

[Birdbrain]

Baby doesn't have any lift and gets his shot blocked more than anyone in the NBA.

Harangody, if signed and given a chance, could probably take Baby's job next year and could push him this year.

Why not bundle Baby and Sheed's contract for a wing that could step in and play major minutes if Pierce or Allen go down?

Then sign Harangody and Scal.

To paraphrase what someone said on RealGM....so a guy in BBD who can play the 4 and at times the 5 thanks to his size will be pushed this season by someone in Harangody who doesn't even have an established NBA position yet just because he might have more lift?

It's not that simple, and posts like that make me realize why people used to love Bill Walker and J.R Giddens, and subsequently headpalm.

C'mon he did say add Scal as well.  Harangody/Scal will more than make up for BBDs output...

TP Double B. This put a smile on my face.

I can't remember the last time a player was both so overrated and underrated by large segments of the fan base.

[GetYourSoxOn]

Why would anyone want to trade Glen Davis BEFORE we get to see him play alongside Shaq?  That alone would be worth the price of admission.

Probably since Tony Allen and before that Leon Powe and before that James Posey and before that PJ Brown and before that Delonte West and before that........

And Rasheed.  Half thought he sucked and half thought he was an allstar.

BBD gets more hate than some of those, but bench players get discussed a lot more than the starters for some reason.

Probably because people view them as changeable pieces.

1 of them is true.
