I don't see us trading Rice. Although that would be nice. Who would want a aging veteran who's defense is a liability and shooting decreasing everyday? Lets not forget he's getting paid a lot too.
MR, I agree completely. I can't even watch the game when Rice is in there. He's about as fast and agile as I am (not very). He can't play D, he can't rebound, he can't pass, and worst of all, he can't even shoot anymore! To put it in Fantasy points perspective, he averages 8 fantasy points/game in 28 min. In comparison, Cato averages 11 fpts/game in 18 min. (takes into account pts,reb,blk,ast,to,fg,ft) There's just no way someone with that little production should be on the court 28 minutes a game....
I still think Rice is there to provide leadership and experience in our young team more than shooting. It helps when he can shoot. But young team always win nothing. Veteran leadership is important. Rice's role will be more important in the playoffs or when we are struggling. At least that's what I believe. And remember Peja was also buried in the Kings bench for 1 year before becoming a contributing member. I think Boki can be the same.
