He picked up his ridiculously huge option, and is likely to be bought out.

Where is the best fit for him?  Should Boston have interest?

Yes. He'd be perfect coming off our bench.

Does he go ring-chasing for minimum money, given he'll be bringing in tens of millions of dollars regardless? If so, I'd throw him a bone if our medical staff are okay with it. I'm curious to see the condition he's kept himself in over the last 12 months.

He wasn't great in his most recent season, particularly in terms of efficiency and defence, but he is potentially a very dynamic player.

He scored 20ppg 3rpg and 7apg last time he played, but those turn over were high, and I don't know how his D is. they sat him to develop the young guys last year.

But for a back up Pg who could be a hot pocket playing against other teams bench, so the D doesn't become as big of an issue, who could also start when needed..... I'd be tempted. I mean he alone could give you that 20 pts that the C's were missing in the last two games out of the bench.

But He'll get more some wheres I have a feeling, and Start.

Of course. Wall is a star (if only in reputation).

They also played lots of two small guard lineups last season with Jackson and Bledsoe

If Wall would take a back-up role with inconsistent minutes, I'd be happy to have him here.  There will be times where Boston needs an excellent ball handler and he would instantly be the best passer on the team.  I don't think you can play him big minutes or with a big role though, as he is a poor shooter and his defense was going down fast before he got older and sat out a year.
