I think Pruitt is fine for a third string point guard. He plays very good defense and he can hit open shots.
As I look around the NBA, there's very few third string point guards that I'd rather have than Gabe Pruitt.
i'll agree with you here, tho he still looks like buggs bunny. but i don't agree with the 'pay a team under the cap to take eddie' idea. IF he picks up his option, we could easily trade him, because he's a total bargain on a one year deal. if this happens, you'd rather have scal and tony over him?
I want to do the same with the Tony Allen. I'd like to keep Scalabrine as the fifth/sixth big in the rotation.
I have no interest in watching House play off the ball. The negative effect on the team's defense + rebounding is greater than his improved offense. I'd much rather see a legit wing backing up at the two spot. Now if Eddie is coming back to play the point guard, I'd love to keep him because he's good at that position.
If there's a trade available that brings a good bench player in return, I'd happily do that. But if there isn't ... the Celtics can get out from underneath that contract and gain some financial wiggle room, they can effectively dump his contract despite it being his player option. They're not in a corner, they have options.
