Wallace is right, Stevens is not an NBA coach, and Crawford is poison.

[sed522002]

So I guess Thibs isn't a coach after his team gave up a 20pt lead to the Sixers? And we Never gave up big leads with the Kg/PP/Doc era 

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Well..Crawford is too wild...and more suited for the and1 league.....he has no consistent form at all....

[Snakehead]

This season is going to be long, especially on these boards, and I'm going to just keep laughing as a way to cope with some of the things I'm going to have to read.

[PhoSita]

Anybody with basic NBA knowledge can look at this roster and see that it's a jumble of disparate parts and only perhaps 4 or 5 of these players is even being honestly evaluated for the purpose of maybe sticking around long term.  The rest are dust in the wind.

There are fourteen (fifteen, counting Colton Iverson) players on this team being "honestly evaluated."  The chances of many of them "sticking around long term" are admittedly slim, but that doesn't mean that Danny and the coaching staff aren't invested in all of them.  They are paying them to be here, and they want to get the best out of them. 

The only players on the team right now who I think have a real chance of being with the team beyond their current contracts are, in order of likelihood:

1. Olynyk
2. Sullinger
3. Faverani
4. Rondo
5. Bradley
6. Pressey

The rest I think are trade bait or destined to be let go once their contracts expire.

The team is undoubtedly evaluating every single player on the roster, but I don't think many of them are being looked at as future pieces.

I might swap Green for Pressey but I agree they're all being evaluated -- if for no other than to judge their trade value.

Re: Wallace is right, Stevens is not an NBA coach, and Crawford is poison.

and Bradley is not a PG!

[Fan from VT]

Honest question:

Can you evaluate whether a coach has the ability to manage an NBA starting lineup if he has no players that should be starting in the NBA?

Suspect.  The above statement pretty much is the root of the truth .....and many of those players know it.   They are trying to improve their stock as well......to keep from joining Fab Melo in the Iraqi basketball league

Thanks for the information.

  What exactly has Pressey done that makes you think he's going to be with the team for an extended period of time?

Chill out.  When you put together a talentless squad of rejects lead by a rookie coach, you're likely not going to win more than 25 games.

Do you really think this team can win 25 games? Are you kidding me???

[PhoSita]

  What exactly has Pressey done that makes you think he's going to be with the team for an extended period of time?

He's young, he's cheap, when he's gotten playing time he looks like he has the potential to be a serviceable backup.

That's why he makes it onto the bottom of my list; I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to stick around.  Also the fact that he was an undrafted FA means that being on the team beyond his current contract just means being on the team next year.

[PhoSita]

And Green not even on the list.

Celticsblogs forum!  A brave new world this season.

Green is overpaid, he has really failed to emerge as a leader or focal point for this team with Rondo out, and if he isn't traded sometime in the next season or so, it'll only be because he's making too much money. 

I think Green will end up spending the latter part of his career much like Caron Butler -- making MLE money and getting passed around from one team to another, good enough to keep a job but not good enough to really make anybody want to pay to keep him.

[PhoSita]

It's always nice to hear from someone who has basic NBA knowledge.

Do you disagree that this roster is a jumble of disparate parts? 

Do you think the Celtics acquired Jordan Crawford, Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks, or Keith Bogans because they actually thought any of those guys might be keepers?

I don't think I said anything especially controversial.
