Here's the thing:
Optimists around here like to talk about how young our team is. How the team is succeeding despite having all of these young guys with a bright future.
Yet, we're currently on track to give significant minutes and major roles to Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Evan Turner, David Lee, and Amir Johnson.
A veritable parade of guys who are what they are and whose main value to the team is that they might fetch some value in a trade.
If this sounds familiar, it's basically the same spot the team was in heading into last season. So we've gone through a full year of rebuild and the team is, if anything, more cluttered with "assets" and we can't even place our hopes on a top 10 picking coming our way.
The saving grace of a rebuilding team is typically that there are a handful of young guys who occasionally flash the potential to turn into something special, guys you can grow attached to and imagine as the future of the franchise.
No such luck here.
Basically, refer to my "Revolving Door" post.
No way man our team is so good dude they're gonna be stars we just gotta let 'em develop why do you hate the Celtics you evil man you.
Lee averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game on 52.3-percent shooting in the 2013-14 season and then got hurt . Now all of a sudden he is suppose to suck? I don't get it.
His offense is mitigated by his defense, and his numbers are empty. He has consistently struggled to find playing time on a championship-caliber team, and he has never been the primary player on a winning team.
If you want more evidence of his greatness, look at his tenure with the Knicks. Contrast that with their win-loss ratio.
He struggled to get back into the rotation because he got hurt and Draymond Green took his place.
Throwing out that he isn't good at defense is just one of those blanket statements of the uninformed.
Because the Knicks were bad with him there means absolutely nothing. This is a very weak argument. With that logic, Kevin Garnett stunk because Minnesota stunk, Pierce stunk because the pre "Big Three" Celtics stunk. Ray Allen must of been bad because Seattle and Milwaukee stunk.
This theory make no sense.
D. Lee isn't those players but he is a walking double double. A very solid player
