what about DJ Strawberry?

[jayk009]

He is one of the few remaining FA options that can play lockdown just as good as TA, he can also play some backup minutes at the 1, he is a slightly better shooter then TA, although his offense is still lacking, he would be brought in for his D and ability to play and defend the 1,2, and 3.

Cheaper...could be something to really look into

I liked DJ when he first came into the league, but honestly haven't seen him play in like two years. Has he been in the NBA recently?

[jayk009]

He was set to be the backup pg for the Suns a few years ago(before dragic emerged), until he completely self destructed in a summer league game in front of Steve Kerr. I think he called a timeout when there was no time out, made a couple of costly turnovers all within the last few minutes and they ended up losing the game. He was released a few weeks later and he ended up playing in Europe somewhere, and most recently he was playing in the D league.

DJ Strawberry is a defensive stud. He is a top 10 man to man defender in the league, and he has improved his mid range shot and 3 point shot substantially. I think his shooting is much better then Tony Allen's and he can contribute more then him overall. I really want to see DJ strawberry with the Celtics.

He is on the Lakers summer league team ... I think he'd be a great signing for them. A nice big defensive point guard in that Triangle offense (help hide his lack of offensive PG skills). He could be a hugely valuable role player for LA.

I don't think they are interested in him though. He didn't seem to be that involved in the only Lakers SL game I saw.

folks, try to keep your thread titles a little more clear

"DJ Strawberry to the C's?" sounds like a rumor - but this is not a rumor, just an idea

thanks

Top 10 defenders don't play in the d-league. Sorry. He would have mean the best defender in all of the d-league and would be in the league.
