Flip as the backup point scares the bejueezus out of me.

DJ right now is a liabilty. He can't guard anybody and he has a hard time getting the team into their sets. If he is not hitting his jumper he is a waste on the floor. I rather have Law or Flip atleast they play defence.

I still think we can get sombody better then Big baby. I don't know how good a rebounder he is and does he have any post game. He does hit a 15 foot jumper some time so that might be a plus.

Augustin needs badly away from Larry Brown and Big Baby needs badly away from Kevin Garnett and the rest of the Celtics room that thinks he's a lazy POS. I wouldn't see the harm in making this move as long as Law became the back up point as opposed to Flip. If anybody could get production out of Big Baby, it's LB. Not the case with Augustin.

This particular rumor has been popular for a couple of days now, but Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe is saying that it's probably not going to happen, no matter what Jared Dudley might be tweeting.

According to his sources, any talk about a swap of Augustin and Davis is in the preliminary stages, and Celtics GM Danny Ainge has even gone so far as to say that he's content with this backcourt depth at the moment. So while this rumor had some legs over at ESPN on Tuesday, by Thursday it's been pretty much buried.

darn, Davis woulda been a nice addition

the search for a PF continues...........

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
