Can someone PLEASE explain to me the fascination in trading ET?
Seriously, why trade one of our top all-around players? He's a glue guy, does many things well, and seems to fit in well with Coach Stevens' plan.
His salary is good for us, too - and no I don't think that's a good reason to trade him.
Who will take his spot? James Young? Crowder? Besides the slight drop-off in defense vs Crowder, ET is better than both of these guys.
Who are we looking to bring in for ET?
Unless the return is a clear-cut improvement, I don't see the reason for trading him.
IMO we trade him we'll be taking a step back.....but that's what some of the tankers probably want anyway, LOL.
BUT - we have an Anti-Tank weapon right here in BOS:
No, not THAT....THIS:
With Brad Stevens, Danny would have to basically trade EVERYONE before we could successfully (sigh) tank.
I just don't see the logic in trading ET...or Sully for that matter. I'd rather just let the season play out.
To me, it's obvious that the team intends to play for a 4th or 5th spot, and that is GREAT to me.
