But you're also stuck with the extra contract after this year. I would rather TD walk for nothing than take on additional salary. You are correct that Boston is full of gross contracts that I suspect Morey wants no part of. Trading TD or Aldrich should not be the priority. Trading Patterson/Morris for expirings and pick should be. Unfortunately, because of Boston's severely unbalanced (contract-wise) roster, you would almost have to have a third team to deal with them.
According to Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus Avery was not as good a defensive player as Lin last year and was much worse on offense: http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/ratings/2012.html RAPM is much more accurate than raw +/- and it's well documented that Morey considers massaged +/- to box scores for evaluating players.
no. he can't even start a draganity when he is clearly the main guy on his team. he can pile up his whatever #s he wants. that means nothing when suns kept losing. that means he didn't make his teammates better. do you remember mike james when he was with toronto?
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. But I think they'd just quick fix with someone like Machado
Actually he did say publicly available defensive stats are useless in a radio interview w/Dan Le Batard. I assume he was talking about all the free defensive stats that are derived from +/- & boxscores.
Ha! We've never had a peaceful fan site Besides, if Lin starts to do well again, I bet his "fans" (or most likely trolls) will come back to taunt us.
