Because believe it or not there aren't that many good rim protectors out there.He is so important to the team
I don't understand how we can't have a rim protector as the 3rd center instead of Biyambo.
Just someone that is good defensively even if he brings only screen on offense
We are too dependant to kornet right now

You constantly post the worst possible takes to the extent that I refuse to believe you're not trolling.
Because we go way back.If you think he's trolling, why are you taking the bait?
That was my most commonly quoted "bad take".. It just happens I understand basketball better, and you guys need more evidence before you notice things. I will give you credit though for not going down with the ship though, you guys (i don't mean you specifically) do eventually come around.He's not a natural PG just yet, I never said he won't be a few years down the road.

Bismack really fell off a cliff this year. He was actually more than decent as a rebounder (3rd behind Bassey and Wemby), rim protector (again 3rd behind those two, 14th in the league for anyone with more than 15MPG and 10 games played), and screen setting last year (1st on team, 16th in the league in screen assists). This year he has been absolutely abysmal.He is so important to the team

Why would one of the competent ones accept a third stringer role when they can easily get 20mpg elsewhere. Or even a starting role with teams like Celtics or Pacers that lost their rim protectors?
there were a bunchI meant a decent rim protector, not a great one. Someone opposing team would at least consider a little.
A 7 footer, that could shoot 65% free throw to not be hacked, could set screen. And would never touch the ball
i'm sure that was a profile available in this 2025 early second round pick that we sold for cash consideration
Yep, we turned two end-of-bench guards (of which we had way too many) for a spot rotation PF (of which we have none). Was purely a deep bench move, not intended to be a major rotation changer.Not sure why would anyone think otherwise.
Olynyk can be a servicable third stringer, nothing more.
he's a good player, but the wemby cornet lineups are mitch basically giving up on defending.
Fascinating. Its too bad none of us understand basketball as well as Raven.
He definitely is a late bloomer but he had been very good on the Celtics for a couple of years. Underlying metrics had been quite good. He was just buried behind KP and Horford, but typically played well when one or both of them were hurtMaybe korndog is what we call a late bloomer? Maybe (he will) he comes back to earth. Just an enormous asset for the team. Small sample size, but the value is obvious. The risk in our position in free agency is justified. Time will tell if the korndog eats, but great relative risk for this team.
Yeah, good point. His years and salary seem shocking as I adjust to the new CBA. I understand your point, and I think we are both confirming a non-headline but big impact move by the FO. Lit a candle to my will perdue statue that he stays healthy.He definitely is a late bloomer but he had been very good on the Celtics for a couple of years. Underlying metrics had been quite good.

yeah 10 mil/year used to be "solid starter" money. its what danny green got from us after we won a chip and wanted to secure him. for reference, that was about 14-15% of the cap back then. kornet's deal has him making about 7% of the cap this year, so its basically half of what green was getting.Yeah, good point.

Kornet is actually better than KP.He definitely is a late bloomer but he had been very good on the Celtics for a couple of years. Underlying metrics had been quite good. He was just buried behind KP and Horford, but typically played well when one or both of them were hurt
It looks like point 2 is the sum of point 3 and 4 based on the number of possessions. Point 4 is so horrible that the weighted average of 3 and 4 still takes us to historically bad levels.I'm having trouble understanding the difference between point 2 and 4. I assume point 2 means no Wemby and no Kornet since point 3 is Kornet without Wemby. Then how can point 4 also be no Wemby or Kornet? Shouldn't that be the same as point 2?
salary is not shocking at all. I posted a graphic on the old site that gives you a projected salary according to a players on court impact and it was exactly what we paid Kornet this year. Since his contract is descending he will actually be underpaid for his production.Yeah, good point. His years and salary seem shocking as I adjust to the new CBA.

Great stuff. I'm so glad French Vanilla played a lot of closing minutes yesterday. Feels like if Pop was still coaching, it would take him until the end of the season to try that combo when it's too late and he would be torturing us with Sochan next to Wemby with closing minutes instead.
