That is a good question: Who will be the scapegoat this year, the most polarizing or disliked player? Kaminsky is an interesting guess, but I think he won't play enough minutes to agitate people enough. It would have to be a rotation guy, a guy who is out there on the floor enough to actually mess things up.
What about Kelly Oubre? I like Oubre and am generally glad we kept him. But he seems to think he is part of the core of the team, part of our "big 3," when arguably that trio should be Booker-Rubio-Ayton. Will Oubre take too many shots? Will he complain about his role, given the abundance of SFs we always carry on our roster?
They were both the #3 players on their teams in the 1980's, which cut into their scoring opportunities dramatically.

Magic Kareem Worthy can be considered a Big 3 Frontline too.The Bobster wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 7:29 amFirst part of the 80's - Parish, mid-80's - McHaleSDC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 3:13 amWho was the second best player in the 1986 celtics team?The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 6:34 pmMuch like Kevin McHale? - 17.9/7.3/1.7 in 971 gamesAmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 6:14 pmWorthy played in 926 NBA regular season games, averaging 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and three assists per game.

You do know James Worthy is in the Hall of Fame, right?

Which leads me to a pet peeve - I you're not Larry Bird, Robert Parish or Kevin McHale, don't refer to yourself as "The Big Three". The Bird-McHale-Parish-Walton front line is probably the best in NBA history (even if they only got one full year out of it).
