Semih Erden ready to play minutes?
Danny Ainge said that Semih Erden might be ready to play minutes this season. (Boston Globe)
“We think Semih is capable of playing backup minutes for us,’’ Ainge said. “We have Jermaine and Glen Davis, but for the long haul of the season I think we’d like to add another big guy and a shooter.’’
I think Erden’s got a little talent. He’s a pretty agile big man with nice size. But I’d rather have Regular Season Sheed than Semih at his best. And Regular Season Sheed broke the record for most times a player made me rocket my remote control at the TV screen.

Should we congratulate Erden or offer him our condolences? He’s likely to get killed out there, otherwise he’s just going to have to rely on Rivers’s tendency to permanently bench players.

HAHAHA. I loved this comment. I think we’ll do a little bit of both. “He Semih, congratulations man. But…”

Based on his summer league play this guy is a long way from getting more than garbage time. Get Shaq and let him tutor this kid in practice every day. Go Cs…

Hell yes, as I really want to see Kobe drive to the hoop on Shaq. And I want to see Gasol get thrown to the floor like he did to Rondo at the 1:30 mark of Game 7 4th qtr. It’s redemption to the nth degree with Shaq on-board. Go Cs…

Wouldn’t that be unreal, Shaq making Kobe taste his ass? Or something like that.

Shaq can’t tutor anyone, unless we want Semih to learn how to play be completely unable to play defense.
But we happen to have the best big man coach in Basketball in Clifford Ray, so if anyone can make a useful player out of Erden, it’s that guy.
Shaq would be ok, at the minimum, but I wouldn’t pay him even one cent more.

I’d give him an extra penny.
