Pressey until the trade deadline/waiver period, at which point Crawford will probably be gone.

Imo jcraw should . he is not a pure pg.

Def better scorer than pressey right now but the offensive flow looks better with pressey on the floor.

I guess stevens can find a way to split 20 min between the two also.

Jcraw uncertain future with thr celts is also something to ponder about how he fits in today

Pressey is non-guaranteed for next year and Crawford is a restricted free agent.  C's essentially have right-of-first-refusal on both, so their long-term statuses with Celtics aren't different enough to warrant playing one over the other.

yes but consider that Pressey's option will be significantly cheaper than Jcraw.

Whoever is playing worse on defense.

Pressey has been coming off the bench so his minutes will be gone.  Crawford will sit down from starting though, I would reckon though arguably he has outplayed AB in all aspects save defense.

This guy knows what he is talking about.

Obviously Pressey with Crawford as the first guard off the bench. He can come in as sg to fill a scorer's role and he can definitely play back up pg with Avery on the floor.

I am glad some of the hate with Crawford is going away, but I am still surprised to see people think that he isn't really worthy of playing time on a crappy Celtics team.

Pressey would have to. JCraw is exceeding all expectations this season.

who is playing the best?
who is easier to trade or more cap friendly?
lee i believe makes the most, played a good game and might be coming around
pressey adds a lot to the team as a backup pg and is on rookie contract
crawford has done a nice job and get shoot from the outside

so to me if there is a trade going down and lee or crawford's contract works that is who is gone, no one so far has stepped up their game to break away from the other guards

no trade I'm going with.....can't say brooks.....pressey
that is if "good" crawford is playing if its "bad" crawford i'd sit him in a heartbeat

nothing against pressey, his size hurts on defense and his outside shot is weakest of all the guards
