He could be a nice fill-in shooter/bench guy - especially if we do move Ray.  What do you guys think?

I just saw that a few minutes ago.  Interesting.  Definitely would love to get him through a trade involving Tony Allen.  I don't know if he would want to come back to a team that cut him the fall before they won a ring though.

when did we gut dahntay jones? we drafted him in 2003 but traded him on a draft day deal.

He's a free agent. Also, I'm sure he doesn't mind that the Celtics kept him on the map.

Isn't he a FA?  No need to trade, just sign him.

I was suprised how little PT he got with us that pre-season.

I think his inability to spread the floor probably rubbed Doc the wrong way.

He'd be great here, what Tony was supposed to be for us.

[celtsrp33]

Exactly.  Wouldn't you be happy if you were him and had a chance to be a contributor to a contending team?  Not that the Nugs weren't "contenders" but the C's are still a very desireable team to sign with as a FA.

He was a casualty of numbers more than anything that year.  With Posey, and Tony Allen showing he would be healthy, they did not need another backup wing.  

I think he would be a nice pickup this summer as a backup wing.  I would prefer someone like Hill, because of his offense, but he would give them a very nice defender off the bench, with a slightly higher BBIQ than Tony Allen.

Slightly higher.....?

[PosImpos]

Jones wouldn't be bad but isn't he like 6'4''?  I guess it's not a big deal but I think if he's our "wing backup" I'd want somebody a bit bigger who can get minutes at both the 2 and 3 and ideally even spot minutes at the 4.

So you want James Posey back...?

Yes please.  Somebody like that.

Eh, I don't think he is that much different from Allen.  He knows his limitations a little better, but he is still very flawed, and makes some boneheaded plays. 

I think ultimately, he is better suited to be the 4th wing on a team like this, rather than the 3rd.  But given what happened last year, I would still take him, since I am afraid we wouldn't get anyone better.  I wouldn't give him much more than the minimum though.
