another player that will be let go at the end of the year.
Depends on how he performs. He also excels in transition ball.
Wright and crowder had strict roles to play. In boston they should get a little more freedom
funny, you've been extremely vocal about Rondo's inability to shoot. We've just acquired 2 players who are even worse at scoring than Rondo and you don't seem to be as upset. why is that?
Nelson is a much better 3 pt shooter than Rondo. His 2pt field goal percentage is terrible. I haven't see him play with the Mavs but that could be because he's small, not very athletic and getting older, making it harder to get to and finish at the rim.

I was talking Wright and Crowder but now that you mention Nelson, he's a HUGE downgrade from Rondo. he may be a better shooter but he's not nearly as good of a ball handler, passer, defender or pretty much anything else. the question for Nelson is he going to be happy that he'll no longer have to be guarded to the point of weeping in frustration by AB (except in practice) or will he be emotionally crushed at seeing AB on a daily basis now.
anyway, Nelson makes it a clean sweep for players we just acquired that will be cut loose when their contracts are up. problem is we're stuck with Nelson for another year.
