As I see it, we have 3 options:
either it means that we enter into the season with David Lee as our best player (ask the Knicks how that one goes) and we're probably facing a mediocre season and maybe a postseason birth.
Or: we have David Lee sitting on the bench as an expiring and our team continues to be fairly meh. This doesn't seem to gel with how Stevens and Co. seem to run the team, but it's possible (see Keith Bogans etc.)
or: our young talent is not worth enough to the rest of the NBA free market to move for more established pieces right now, or the pieces Ainge really wants are not available. If that's the case, a Lee-led season is going to be about as disastrous as our last season. Watching the C's get blown out by the Cavs sucked. That's the inevitable conclusion (although it may not be the Cavaliers) of this roster.
How's that? Now try to answer it without the name calling.
I'm struggling to understand how you are failing to grasp the point. I don't mean to insult you, but D.o.s. has made it pretty clear.
D.o.s. feels that David Lee is a net negative when he's on the floor. He makes the team worse. Therefore, a guy who sits on the bench is better for the team than David Lee getting playing time.
Clear it up for you?
In general, if people are going to ignore the facts just to try to make a point, they should expect to be called out on it. As I stated in a different post, it's not like Lee is replacing Drummond. His offensive contributions will offset any defensive difference. Now that shouldn't be hard to understand.
Where is your proof for the bolded?
