the guy shot 18% from the field in yesterdays game. in tonights game he shot 25% from the field. and its not like he just shot four times. every time he shot i cringed because i knew it wasnt going in.
NINE MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR!?!?!? why danny? he can shoot a three - but only if he's open, and he can drive to the right if theres a bit of space in the lane. thats all. anything outside of that im in shock.
18% plus 25% = a blistering 21.5% field goal percentage. i think my fav was alast year against the kings 4 from 16 if i recall correctly. except for a few incredible games he's not a good nba caliber player.
he's not a starter. he's not a sixth man. he's an average - yes average - bench player. what can he do well? might as well pay chris babb nine million dollars because he seems to be doing more.
the most hilarious thing about all this to me is that it seems like danny knows... like remember when kg and ray became celtics, when you went to celtics.com there would be a picture of paul,kg, and ray together as the centerpieces of the team. now it's rondo, avery, and jeff. now why is this funny?
because i have heard how some gm (i think it might have been DA) put some crap player all over the merchandise and posters so that in negotiations with other teams he could say, "such and such will be a big loss for our team if i trade him to you - look at all our posters and merchandise if you dont believe me!"
when you've just traded for a former all-star - gerald wallace, and you have sullinger, and you have olynyk - who was pretty much the best player in college last year - you have enough players who fans can get excited about without dragging up jeff green - whose image only inspires disappointment and loathing in any real celtics fan who remembers all of the time he has spent in green... not exactly something that excites fans as merchandise and posters are...
and just because i feel like you might be interested, on a side note - just before the extension date on rondos rookie contract expired danny got a day extension from the league and locked him up for 11 million dollars per season. he has the same opportunity with bradley right now but doesnt sign him - and will apparently wait until after the season - when other teams can bid...
this doesnt mean that bradley wont be a celtic next season, it just means that dannys leaving the door open for a sign and trade with bradley because he doesnt think he could be worth what he's asking.
in this case what does jeff and avery get you in return?
