You know, I really don't mind a young player that has this type of shotchart.

Are you guys serious? They would have given away just about anybody to open up room for LeBron James. They also gave us a future first round pick. I guess that pick isn't worth anything either, since they just gave it away to us.

geeze. LeBron James, people. They gave us Zeller because they NEEDED room for LEBRON FREAKING JAMES.
What exactly does this have to do with how good Zeller is? When getting rid of talent to add Lebron James do you figure they decided to give away their very best players or their least talented, least good fitting and most expendable?

They gave away Zeller because he has little upside, isn't starting material and is expendable because he is ultimately, as a back up center, very replaceable.

Thanks for the chart bc. Zeller can shoot. For me that raises the interesting question of putting olly and Zeller in together. I think it would be a pretty interesting offensive pairing.

Though defensively, maybe not so much.

That's only one perspective... you're forgetting about the price Ainge was demanding in order to facilliate this trade.

The improvement in his shooting from everywhere on the floor was pretty remarkable.  He looked pretty terrible as a rook.

  Sadly, that description fits quite a few starting centers in the league.

+1.  We dont know if danny forced the cavs to give up zeller to make the deal work. We needed a center anyways so it worked out

Zeller is not a throw in in this deal . Thornton  is.
