You know your being dumb right. I'll take Pierce over Dirk all day. I told you I'm betting on Americans first. Are you mad we took Pierce and didn't move up to get Dirk? Euros are still softer.
The only guy I would have taken was Parker, because we had three first that year and it was worth the gamble.
Way to pick the best euros in recent memory. There is still a lot more great players coming from this soil.
Dirk and Pierce were the best two players in that year's draft. Most GM's would argue that Dirk had an overall better career than Pierce, more All Pro Teams, for instance. But that is a false argument. Based on your logic, you would have passed on Dirk to take any American player that year, and that is insane, my friend.
And your original point was that Porzingis was too skinny, yet you apparently are a fan of KG, one very skinny dude. Try dealing with your original point.
Its a ? that we could ask till the end of time. Point is that PP was our blue collar, come to work everyday, never miss a game type of guy. He got stabbed almost a dozen times and came right back, he got hit by Amare and fell right on his face and broke his 2 front teeth and came back in the game, then played the next game directly after leaving the dentist. He was always our MVP even with the 1 1/2 years KG was his best with us. KG was almost selected MVP that year but he was not even the best player on the team.....we never heard a peep from Pierce.
He also never demanded a trade and stuck with us. I hope he comes back to be in the front office or scouting.
Yeah, numbers wise, you can make the argument for either Pierce or Dirk, but seeing him regularly for so many years and what he brought to this franchise even in bad times, Pierce is my all-time favorite celtic, I would take him 10 times out of 10 over Dirk with no hesitation.
