1) Do we have one currently?

2) Does a team really need one anyway?

3) By not having one (if we currently do not), does it undermine the position if we later appoint one? (given , for now at least, we are saying we either don't need one or don't have anyone who qualifies).

Having a team captain is bull....

Brad Stevens is the only team captain we need.

no one for now. but it seems obvious that sooner or later smart will step up to that role.

If Stevens is the coach, I doubt their will ever be one again. He didn't want to make RR captain, I think it was DA who pushed it (of course RR wanted it too). I remember before they made RR captain CBS said it wasn't something he does (something along those lines).

I m not much on a captain for he team a this point either .

I think it was a ploy to make Rondo feel wanted , comfortable, get him involved in his comeback, stay positive...etc.

I agree .....CBS is not needing a capt. At the moment .....he needs 15 guys to stay in one place a year so he can mold them into a team

I think a capt is good for a contender ...somebody to led and speak up during the pressure.

It's better to not have a captain than to give it to somebody who isn't going to lead (i.e., Rondo).

Or, just to make Rondo look like some sort of mature, team leader before they could trade him away.

I think the opposite for point 3. By not having a captain, we are saying we dont need to have one yes, but we are also saying that it is something earned, not just given out for the sake of giving out.

I think this should only be given out if you have a true leader. Pierce fit this bill Rondo did not. I believe our next captain will be Marcus Smart in a few years.

Crash. No question. Be a G on the sidelines, play little to no minutes, come in for an end-of-game full-court pass with 2 seconds left on the regular. I'd prob resign the dude, no decrease in salary.

Surely if someone like Pervis Ellison can get his name on the Captains list then pretty much anyone on the team now is, at least, just as deserving. Maybe just the longest-tenured player by default, which I believe is Avery Bradley.

Pretty much. The title of captain was already undermined when it was given to Rondo.
