I'd prefer James Young over KO.

Exactly my sentiments.

Jaylen Brown>>>>>>James Young

[cltc5]

We have a nice young core with smart and jb.  I'm fine for trading IT

[blink]

Jaylen needs more minutes.  Enough of the multiple games where he is getting 6, 4, 8, 9 minutes.  He needs to be getting a steady diet of 18-22 minutes a night.  That isn't going to ruin our team, and it is going to get him ready faster for the end of the year and whatever playoff run we can muster.  Unless we are showcasing someone else for a trade, I don't get BS playing Brown so little.

Trade the guy averaging 27 PPG.. real "Smart".

Who takes over the scoring for us? Rozier?

Haha want to see a telling stat?

Starters all positive - Amir +13, Crowder + 9, Horford + 7, Thomas +13, Smart +11

Bench all negative - Jerebko - 3, Green -11, Brown - 7, KO - 9, Rozier - 3

Taking Smart away from an already lacking bench has taken its toll, especially defensively. That bench defense was atrocious.

I prefer sore hemoroids

I really don't like Smart playing with IT.  Smart can help out def a bit with IT's size, but he isn't a good enough shooter to capitalize for open looks when IT goes to the lane.  We saw in the Clev. game how Smart should be used, he should play the point, and get to the lane.  When we go away from Smart's strengths he just isn't effective.

Normal coaches get this.  It's like doc rivers all over

CBS infuriates me by not play Smart and Brown together. Instead, Jaylen is paired with IT and TRoz who don't look for him.

Your [dang] right!  5 players make a team not one.  That's our problem!

I agree with this as well.  I don't know how Brown's potential isn't help guide our lineups a bit more.  He can give us good minutes this year, and contribute this year, we just need to utilize him the right way, or maybe at all.

You really think you know better about minute distribution than Brad, who is regarded highly by players, other coaches, and just about everyone in the business?
