    Other than dribble, there is nothing that Terrence that Clint can't do better.

    C'mon, bruh. You know that's wildly incorrect.

    I like Clint, but he's raw. TJ is more developed and you know it.

    I'm done with all of that. Video doesn't lie.

    Give Clint time and maybe he'll surpass all expectations.

    You honestly sell TJ too short for whatever reason. I like our entire roster with the exception of one person that doesn't even suit up. I admit it though.

    Clint is raw.

    Terrence is developed.

    Developed doesn't mean better than raw.

    Unfortunately Terrence did not develop properly. And Clint is still raw enough to develop even more than he has. Clint is the better defender, rebounder, and finisher. Neither one can shoot a hoot. Terrence can dribble.

    You can't name one basketball skill other than dribbling that Terrence is better at. It's just not there. Developed and raw doesn't make a difference.

    Yes that is not a good comparision. TJones has a very underrated handle also.

    Codman is hinting at David Lee, a veteran 4 (PF).

    Clint still has a long way to go as far as finisher. The main thing he can pretty much do now is catch alley's from pick a rolls. Other than that he's still very raw trying to score around the basket

    So many of you wrote how concerned you are about millions of injuries DMo had. Name 2 of injuries that DMo had. I can only think of 1.

    Zeller wears 44, but kelLY oLYnk might be who he's hinting put with the LY as well.

    Plus neither are really considered vets, I think he may be hinting at multiple players as possibilities.

    Ilyasova
    Zeller
    Olynk

    Who else?

    Bogdanovic? He wears 44. And Brooklyn is Northeast as far I know.

    Oly, Zeller, Sully, Lee...there are too many in Boston. But two of them are RFA next summer and all of them are bad defensively. And Zeller is probably the best of them all.
    Maybe he means Sully. His salary is also small enough to be easy to trade whereas Lee's isn't.

    Let's hope it isn't Landry coz Landry sux. (Philly is northeast right?).

    Would be a nice addition. You could swap Tjones for Zeller. But, Zeller will also be an RFA this offseason. What kind of contract would he command?

    I would love to have ersan. He will stretch the floor so much for dwight. But will that mean we are committed to Dwight for the foreseeable future?

    Ilyasova is not going to happen, he's part of SVG's plan in Detroit and just arrived there..

    Ily is not going to happen because Detroit's bench looks like utter trash atm. Meeks got a Jones fracture, Jennings hasn't started practising 5 on 5 yet, Morris may go to jail and is only reliable to get a ton of techs and miss games any year, and their bench unit is very weak-if they want to make the playoffs. Which they do. And they can. I like what SVG is doing over there.

    I don't know if you're right---one guess is as good as another at this point---but I could certainly see the possibility given the $15,000,000 expiring contract.

    Luis Scola wears #4, I believe, and since McHale can't coach and needs players who don't need coaching, this would fit. Don't know if Toronto signed him with an eye on a December trade with us, though.

    LY = David Lee? Vet PF from the East fits your clues...
