Clippers offering Bledsoe, Butler to Celtics for Garnett

[Purch]

what about defensive stats
points in the paint
opp fg%
point differentail?

What I posted was an updated reply to your statement that the Jazz are terrible offensivley.

...Which happends to be a season, where we're in the top end of the leauge in every offensive category, and we're the 7th seed in the west....

"Top end" is a bit of a misnomer. Top half would be appropriate, but so too would be middle third. The Jazz are much closer to the middle than they are to the top offensively, and given that the defense is atrocious, that's not something to be too terribly proud of.

But I agree, things could be much much worse, and fans love to moan. This team, given the talent, is performing admirably.

again purch you can find this team not boring.
but that does not mean they are boring or not.
i find them boring.
attendence is down and the moral on this boar dis pretty low.

Again, I haven't seen anybody say the Jazz are the worst.

Not literally the "worst", that's an exaggeration on my part.

You haven't seen anyone claim that we're terrible both offensively and defensively, and that we need to blow up the roster? There was a "blow it all up" thread the other day. That's what I mean by making it seem like we're the "worst", these gross exaggerations about our current situation, when we're in a better situation than a lot of teams in the leauge, right now and going forward.

Something that hasn't been mentioned (that I have seen) about Bledsoe is how he has the badass factor. He'd be a great addition to our young guys because he has a "let's kick the enemy's ***" mentality. I think we sorely lack that guy on this team.

That's nice, but finding a team boring, doesn't change whether or not the product on the court is productive.

I don't think anyone has advocated literally dismantling the entire team (or really anything close, the board is pretty unanimous that we'd like to see what The Four can do when not playing with a boulder hanging over their heads). It sounds to me like you agree with a lot of the root points of a lot of the posts on the site, but that you don't want to agree or you are getting caught up in the details/style of the posts.

Anyway, I appreciate that you're literate and sensible in how you present your points.

That's about right.

if you consider making the playoffs and getting sweepped again productive?
i call that stagnation

Anyway, Al to Boston, Garnett to Clips, and Bledsoe/Butler to the Jazz sounds pretty good to me.

I'd be giddy.
