Keep Avery Thread

[bleedGREENdon]

All I ever see is we need a new shooting gaurd, all star caliber gs this and that.

In all honesty Avery + Rondo back court is one of the best in the NBA, probably the best defensively, rondo and Avery just play great together.

Avery won't be huge money either.
I would much rather Avery starting and have a shooting scoring type backup SG.
Kind of like how the Thunder were with Thabo.

Championship caliber team in my eyes

Rondo, vet PG
Avery, Scoring Guard
AllStar SF
Sully
Defensive Center.

I was just about to make a thread saying that the C's should let Avery walk. I think the guy that Wallace has been referring to, the guy who is not playing team ball, is Bradley. He is a ballhog, and has never seen a shot he doesn't like. He takes a bunch of long twos (which are the worst shots in basketball) and when he tries to drive into the lane he cannot finish a layup.

He is too small to be a long term solution at the off guard. The shots that he takes, i would rather KO, Sullinger, Green and Rondo taking. A rebuilding team has no need for a defensive specialist who cannot create his own shot.

I hope Danny Ainge does not match whatever offer sheet Bradley receives this offseason.

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm about ready to give up anybody but Sully and Rondo to get a serious center.

cut him some slack, he is a volume shooter like Melo!

agreed. I've said this multiple times now. Build around rajon and sully. Everyone else is EXPENDABLE.

Olynyk is also a keeper.

I would trade bradley. There is a reason Danny did not give him the money he wanted to seemed like he deserved.

The guy will shoot 11-20 and score 22 points. Its ultra ineffficient

Good defender but lacks ideal height and is not very good offensively. If his 2 pt jump shot is not working he has no other way to get his game going offensively

I agree with the OP.  Keep Avery.

Very true. He is a volume shooter. Every time someone passed him the ball tonight, he immediately took the shot. I couldn't believe my eyes. He seems like a guy who is trying to play for a contract. That could be why he is gunning.

[Jailan34]

Depends on what you consider huge money for a player of his caliber. 6 million was more than fair and he turned it down.

what did he prove tonight?

He did quite a good job on Gasol, who is 2 inches taller and has a 5 inch wingspan adv on him also

[vinnie]

I have three for sure keepers -- Rondo, Sully and Hump.

Gasol had 24 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists and was 9-15 from floor in 36 minutes.

11 of 20 is ultra inefficient ?
