I wish.....

... we'd throw Pressey into the Rondo deal instead of Powell. I felt it at the time, now doubly so.  I wonder whether Ainge tried to, but was turned down based on their roster needs.

Why? Dallas is only playing him because they don't have anyone else close to 7 ft who can walk and chew gum.. and the only think he's provided consistently so far are fouls.

would we argue that is more of a skill than pressey currently has?  I am kind of amazed we don't have Bynum instead of pressey. Pressey really just doesn't seem to have the upside to be a backup

[Celtics18]

. . . we had Vin Baker.

Letting Powell slip through our fingers set the franchise back 20 years at least.

The Mavericks are trying to sign Jermaine O'Neal.

He will take Powell's minutes.

I'm not calling him Larry Johnson. I see Powell as a guy with the potential to be a 15-20 minute garbage man on a legit NBA team, and that eclipses Pressey's value in my eyes.

I wish we had Kyrie Irving.

I wish we had Kyrie Irving.

Yeah. Those Rondo-for-Irving notions just never.... quite... materialized.

You wish we had Boogie Cousins.

I'd take both.

Well you'd need some role guys on that squad. Coupla boards. Knock down a shot or two. Lil D. Gimme Powell over Pressey.

I wish D'Angelo Russell were still at 7, or 8 or 9, or 6...that he hadn't leapt to #2
on DraftExpress.

A bag of basketballs has more skill than Pressey, which is precisely why the Mavs didn't want him. This point is kinda moot.

longer. he could have been traded for 4-5 first round picks and a raising start....at least.

[dang] you ainge!

much as i love his underdog-makes-the-nba story, he simply doesnt have the skills to be anything more than 3rd string pg on a bad team. which, not coincidently, he is. 

but then again, he cost nothing to obtain and is paid nba-peanuts. at least he gives me the fun of cheering he turns out to be better than he is. during a rebuild anything positive is good news.
