I wanted Danny to sign Henry last year, and he played really well for the Lakers, given that last season was practically his rookie year.  He's a good athlete and defender, as well as a smart player who gets to the line - a lot. 

As for Babbitt, I know that he's a defensive liability, but I do remember hearing that Ainge liked him in the 2010 draft.  I'm not terribly serious regarding Babbitt, but he actually had a good game this year  ;D  Yes, game - that was not a misprint.  He is an excellent passer and shooter, though.

I hope Henry catches on somewhere. He had a few flashes of really good play last year, stuff that goes beyond just getting hot for a good team.

I just wish that that place was Boston haha.  I'd much rather have him as our sf than Jeff Green.  At least Henry plays aggressively and gets to the line.  I think there was one game last year when he attempted 19 free throws :o  That's Pierce-like.

I would vote no and no. Henry's 42% and Babitt's 39% fg percentages do not inspire confidence. I think we can find better to fill out the bench.
