Doc could have played Big Al more than 6 minutes.
...
Oh, as an aside, but somewhat hopeful future......Big Al Jefferson has player's option for '15-'16 season @ 13.8 million.
Any chance he declines? Any chance Danny could trade our many draft picks? Would we give up a top 1st rounder for Big Al? Do we want Big Al back? Can he play Center?
More questions to be answered haha!
I know Al's D was never there but I always wanted Doc to play him more so he could learn. I guess that's part of the challenge for a coach/front office trying to build/develop and compete at the same time.
I'd love Al back for pure nostalgia reasons. I think this season in CHA will be hard for him after the excitement and success of last year. I could see it happening. If Danny could get a true defensive 4 or 5 to allow Al to hide his defensive shortcomings, I'd love it.
Come to think of it, I'd take KG back too to show Al what D is in a limited player role with more of the veteran mentor role. Give PP more incentive to come back for his final season as a celtics, too
