If Stevens starts Turner or Nelson over Smart I'm going to explode.

Logically it is Nelson as the most experienced of the bunch, sorry to say. Man I really am not looking forward to that.

It should be Smart but it'll probably be Turner.

It better be Smart. He will probably be worse right now and better in the future; thus, accomplishing both of our goals.

Turner or Pressey before Smart comesback.

Actually likely Turner and Pressey for the next while, while Marcus gets back to 100 percent health

CBS doesn't work like that.  It won't be Nelson.

Alot of what I've read said they've seen enough of Smart to realize he's the future here, so it doesn't make sense to not play him big minutes. Hopefully Turner has to start at the 3 soon because we traded Green off for more assets.

Once healthy, Smart. The Celtics need to know what they have in him before the next offseason.

Also, I really believe Marcus will benefit having Nelson in his ear every time he comes back to the bench.

Probably Turner.

It just doesn't make sense to me to have Turner start. You want to develop your only legitimate cornerstone,especially because Turner doesn't seem to have a long-term future on this team.

Given that the field for Rookie of the Year is looking pretty thin, we should be starting Smart every week, put the ball in his hands, and have him make a significant push.

If he produces and wins the accolades, a. he'll be a better player and b. his trade value will skyrocket, if flipping him is what we're inclined to do.

One report I read said Nelson might request a buy out.

http://www.celticsblog.com/2014/12/18/7419021/what-are-the-celtics-getting-from-the-mavericks-for-rajon-rondo

Correction it said he might get bought out by our own Jeff Clark.

Smart is still healing so my bet is our Turner tomorrow night.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Jameer - they don't want to rush Smart, especially coming off the injury, and do want to showcase Nelson to flip to a contender for...I don't know, Nick Calathes and a 2nd or something?  Just shoot me.   :(
