Favorite player

[eja117]

We may have done this before but rank your players in terms of how much you like em. Like you wake up in the morining and hear the player got traded for some awesome trade and you're like "oddly I'm still sad nonetheless"

1Gomes
2Rondo
3West
4Al J
5Perk
6TA
7Powe
8Wally
9Ray
10PP
11 Scala
12 GG
13 Theo
14 Kandi
15 Bassy

I have no loyalty to Theo cause he has done nothing here and I have been looking forward to getting rid of Kandi for a while, although I admit he did ok considering, sorta.

I have almost no loyalty to Ray. I like Scala as a 15th man, but since Doc plays him so much I dislike him more, which isn't his fault.

I think GG is overhyped and plays really bad and inconsistent despite a lot of pt at this point.

I think PP doesn't run and is overpaid

I don't like the way Wally gets hurt every two seconds but I like his attitude and shooting

i don't like the way TA got in trouble but I like the way he got out. Stop getting hurt

We have two draft picks. Somebody goes away besides Kandi. Ray and Powe have the non-guaranteed contracts

Perk and Al J were a really close call. One is tougher. The other is better and more productive

I don't really have a "favorite" and I can't rank them. I like them all, but Rondo, Allen, Gerald, Delonte, Pierce, Perk, Al J, and Gomes are players I like more than others. WAlly's alright, Same with Powe and Scal. EVeryone else is kind of eh. The only player I didn't like was Telfair and he's gone. Kandi, Theo will be gone too once we get another big guy. I don't understand the lack of love for Gerald. He's kind of a beauty queen trying to be a basketball player right now but I still like him. He's entertaining and he's a kid. Al J was kind of the same thing for a while there.

As far as players and their mentality and how they play I probably like TA, Perk, Pierce, Delonte and Rondo the best. I just like the way they play.

[FLCeltsFan]

1. Perk
2. Powe
3. Rondo
4. Al J
5. Tony
6. West
7. Green
8. Gomes
9. Pierce
10. Wally
11 Scal
12 Ratliff
13. Kandi
14. Ray
15 Telfair

I like the hard working, team oriented players who aren't afraid to play defense and give up the glory to work in the trenches. Hence, Powe and Perk are my favorites.

Rondo is an exciting player who also puts and emphasis on defense. I like this kid. He plays hard all the time.

I like Al because of how hard he has worked to prove his doubters more and because he is willing to work even harder to get better.

I like Tony and West because they too do the dirty work on defense and play hard.

I like Scal and his attitude and the effort he puts out, but don't like the way Doc uses him as a starter. He should be 11th-12th man at most.

Pierce is a Celtic and proved this season he is important to this team, but I wouldn't cry if he was traded.

I think Green is going to be an all star eventually. It is just a matter if we have the patience for it to happen. And I like Gomes because he is a solid person and player and makes very few mistakes out on the court.

If healthy Wally could help the team. But he has so much trouble staying healthy.

I could take or leave the rest of the team.

I will try I guess although I'm not sure how accurate this will be

1. Perk
2. Pierce
3. TA
4. Rondo
5. Al J
6. West
7. Gerald
8. Gomes
9. WAlly
10. Powe
11. Scal
12. Ray
13. Ratliff
14. Kandi
15. Telfair

I'm guessing Rondo and Gerald will move up the ranks as they get better. I like Perk every time I hear him talk, although he needs to start playing better. This past season was kind of bleh, but if Perk ever starts draining shots and becomes a monster I will love him more.

[freshnthehouse]

I dont really have favorites I guess. I do like having DWest around just because he's such a goofball. I like Pierce because he's a great player. I like Al b/c he plays down low. I like Perk because he doesnt mind cracking skulls.

[freshnthehouse]

For the most part we have a lot of likeable players. having a team full of good guys makes it a lot easier to root for a bad team. Could you imagine being a portland fan a few years ago? Barf city.

I was just watching a video of PP and Toine and i just hit a very depressing thought. As long as PP is our best player we'll never win a championship. Championships are won by teams with gold medal guys like TD, and Shaq, and maybe a Steve Nash or Novitzki. Not guys that aren't even bronze medal like PP. I wonder how long till he's not our best player. I guess two years till AL J passes him. Maybe if we're lucky a Durant or Oden passes him in one or two. Maybe even a Rondo.

[CelticsLoyalist]

PP
Al
Tony
Rondo
Gomes
West
Green
Powe
Perk
Wally
Ray

I'd def. say that PP is a bronze metal player. I think a team could win a title with him as there second best player. Lets we magically ended up w/ Duncan back in the day. i think a team led by duncan and pierce could win a title. but yeah, if he's your best player, no dice.

I agree and I have to say a big thank you to Loy for making it for me. He outdid himself on both my sig and my avatar.

Keepers;
1. Paul Pierce <-- appreciates what it means to be a C
2. Al Jefferson <-- killed my fantasy teams the past 2 years. Finally putting it all together
3. Rajon Rondo <-- eagerly awaiting to see if he puts it together next year and becomse consistenly solid and a floor leader
Solid but expendable;
4. Tony Allen <-- if he doesn't lose much/any athleteism, he'll be a solid 2 guard who can actually guard
5. Delonte West <-- see him as a solid 3rd/combo guard coming off the bench
6. Gomes <-- good back up forward ideally an 8th man to come in to get things going if the starters aren't doing it
Come on, get it together!;
7. Gerald <-- full of 'potential' but like a lot of young players, will he ever realise it?
8. Perkins <-- maybe next year it clicks for him like it did for Al
9. Wally <-- enough already get a new trainer and fix that busted body
not that good or rookie but tries
10. Scal <-- hustler who is a 10-15 min guy max
11. Ray <-- rook who knows what he's learned and if he'll apply it to improve over the summa, could see him let go too
12. Powe <-- see above
MEH (could care less, time for some rookies to come in these spots)
13. Theo <-- Broken-Down contract trade bait
14. Telfair <-- don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya. (just wait, in 5 years, he'll be a near all-star... of course)
15. Kandi <-- actually had a few solid years, then stopped giving a crap. top 5 worst #1 picks eva!!

and that's that.
drop the bottom 3-4 or trade what you can.
got a top pick and a good 2nd rounder to bring in.

Solid post Celticfan (Kooliad+).

For myself, P2, AJ, and Gomes rank as my 1-2-3. Everyone else after that is somewhat the same.

[BCHISTORIAN]

good post celticfan indeed. my vision is pretty much the same:

keepers: jefferson, rondo, pierce, green (not ready to joejohnson him just yet)

prefer to hold on: perkins, allen

solid roleplayers: west, gomes

everybody else: expendable

[DERRENMATTS]

I'll list my top 6:

Al Jefferson
Rajon Rondo
Tony Allen
Paul Pierce
Gerald Green
Leon Powe

Since Telfair doesn't seem to have a future here as of now, I have to take him off the list.
