According to ESPN analysts, we "lost" big baby, and have a shallow bench...

I wonder if these guys actually do any research or just look at a piece of paper listing the players the team added and lost. I dont really see how they can say we dont have a deep bench either. Its one of the deeper benches on paper ive seen amongst the current nba rosters.
Its true- were old but we traded big baby for a player who fits our team better. We diddn't "lose" him. Bad journalism if you ask me.

Its ESPN, you expect quality? That's like expecting a quality burger at McDonalds.

Did you say ESPN? question answered

Not sure how you could really dispute either of those facts

[Junkyard Dawg]

um, didn't we trade BBD?  how do we 'lose' him if we purposely get rid of him?

We still lost him from our roster.

But we added Bass.

Should be a wash there - that's the least of our concerns

At ESPN, the guy who most understands that Big Baby is not a loss is John Hollinger, who deemed the acquisition of Brandon Bass to be "theft".

When you lose something, its not under your own volition. We traded him willingly.

how are they facts? We traded Davis for a better player, and our bench is better than las year.

big baby is overrated in terms of public perception....

[jc3celticsphan]

They are usually wrong so I am glad they called it this way.

[Lord of Mikawa]

They weren't busy worshiping Lebron or the Heat long enough to talk about the C's? Color me floored.

[csfansince60s]

You sure that they didnt say the "BEST" (deepest) bench in the league.

I am hard pressed to think of another team whose bench is better than ours.

Anybody?

Considering how Bass looked in preseason, I ain't opposed to Hollinger's feelings on getting him. 

Anyways, if my timeline is accurate, ESPN supposedly didn't know we were getting Pietrus. Not that it matters, though. We've been done a long time ago as far as ESPN is concerned. Quite honestly, I'm not sure why anyone's surprised, assuming they are.
