Would you all be on board with trading for O’quinn?

What kind of player is he and can he help the team?

I've always liked him.

He can pass, rebound, and shoot outside. He shoots a high percentage on long 2s, but he hasn't been able to get consistent from 3.

He fouls a lot, but he is a decent position and on-ball defender.

ha ha ha ha ha....he shoots for his career 20.7% so i suppose this is one way to express that.  ;D

Yes, but he is a career 42% from 16 feet to the 3 point line, which normally indicates that the player can be 33-35% from 3.

Is he better than Baynes?

Fundamentals might be similar. O'Quinn blocks more shots and is a better distributor.

And as I said, I think O'Quinn has more potential to stretch the floor.

He's about 4 years younger too.

I've always liked Kyle, but with Theis' shot starting to fall, I'm not inclined to take away his minutes if he doesn't feel a legit need. I'm more interested in a capable bench scorer.

I wonder how many Bar Mitzvahs he could be hired for in Boston?

Doubt there is the same Jewish population as NY/NJ.

How would he be an upgrade over what we have right now?
