Is Danny planning on doing anything about a back-up PG?

[celticinorlando]

i think as of now it is going to be gabe pruitt and hudson unless they decide to s and trade someone...

[wdleehi]

I am sure it is something they are looking for.  Their track record (Cassell and Marbury) alone says they are looking for a PG. 


Just not a lot out there.

I would be happy with Gabe if he got consistent minutes.  But I guess we'll know by August One if Gabe is even going to be here. But honestly CinO, you gave up on Danny less than a week after July 8.  Your hunch, gut, feelings, connections or whatever right now aren't reliable.  I think it's certain however that Danny's going to have to move one or more of the 6'6" and under crowd.

Ciao dude, and here's to a second good move by Danny this summer,

we definitely need a pg.  heaven forbid something happens to rondo and he is out with an injury, i dont want eddie running the point, and i dont think pruitt even deserves a roster spot.

there was a poll a little while ago asking what we needed more, a pg or a 2/3.  i voted in the minority of saying pg.  i recognize we need both positions, but i value the pg role more.  im hoping they get a veteren as an insurance.

I value PG more, but I said wing was more important because PP/Ray can't play as many minutes as Rondo can at their age. More importantly, our status quo PG position (Eddie or Pruitt) is better than TA or our projects.

That being said, I really want to see how Lester Hudson or even Daniels pans out at the PG spot in training camp.

I voted for PG too. In fact, I would say PG would be after solidifying our big men rotation.

But with Daniels fully being capable of ball handling duties, this changes a bit.

As I've mentioned a couple of times already. We currently have two roster spots available, they should be filled with big men. If we go after a PG, it should be via trade or simply drop Pruitt to make roster space. Either scenario would be fine with me. Maybe trade for a big men, and pickup a PG. At the moment I'm not so sure about trading Scal though, I'm quite content with him at the moment and with what his role would be.

We'll see.

I do think it does depend on the BBD situation what big men we would want however. If we keep BBD, I'm ok with a project like Ike Diogu. However, if BBD leaves, I'd prefer a solid vet such as Chris Wilcox or Joe Smith (they'd get paid more too).

I only want big men for depth purposes really. When the playoffs come around, it would probably be a Garnett-Perk-Sheed rotation for the most part, maybe sneak in Scal some minutes too (depending on who else we get). So I really want bodies since I'm of the opinion that big men depth is one of the most important needs a team needs to fill.

I think we can handle the lack of PG, we can run the offense through Pierce and KG if the going gets tough. But I think it's more vital to be prepared for injuries in our big men, that would be harder to work around. That's my opinion though.

If we retain Baby, then that last roster spot can be used elsewhere (even though I might preffer a big men, I would be quite comfortable with a PG instead under this scenario). Maybe we can offer it to Powe if there's nothing out there.

I actually like the Scal as the 4th big option. However, I don't think that's a permanent solution since it does seem like he would be trade bait february (although I have a feeling Scal will be waived and re-join the celtics. He's more valuable to us than anyone else).

Again, i do want to see if Pruitt and Lester improve during training camp.

Hello everyone.
 
How about marcus Williams former Nets PG. he is burining it up in the memphis summer league. Played here in PR with the "Piratas de quebradillas" looked good and in shape. he is worth looking at.
Ray

He's a sentimental favorite here as most of the posters are more familiar with players that played college in the northeast.  My feeling however is that Williams hasn't caught on with a couple teams, I doubt a third will make a difference.  I don't know what it is, but he just doesn't have what it takes to make it at the next level.  I think it's more emotional intelligence than basketball smarts, but whatever.  I don't think he'll be wearing green.  At least not on the court.  Maybe in the stands.

Paul and Ray should be more than okay as long as they play around 35 minutes.  It's just weird to me to have Rondo playing more minutes than them, considering how much more they score when they're in the game.

Well Paul/Ray are older so i do understand them playing less minutes.  They experience more wear/tear along the season than Rondo does, and he can run all day.

They should be playing more minutes because they score more than rondo does? There is more to be done on the floor besides scoring...besides, Rondo hasn't looked to attack as much with Paul/Ray/Kevin on the floor. But when he had to he did (playoffs)

Regardless, the team doesn't allocate minutes based on points per game. I'm just saying, i think Rondo should be playing more minutes than Paul/Ray and it makes sense.

It would be nice to have an experienced pg on the bench though, in case of injury. I know Daniels can handle, but we need him on the wing.

I apologize for using the word worst, I'm gonna get a lot of hate for that.
But how many Centers can you say are as good as Perkins?  Be honest, Perkins is more dominant in his position.  Rondo is in the same league as over half of the other PGs in the league, several of which are unarguably better.
Look at it this way:  if we put in a mediocre back-up Center against most teams, he'd be able to hold his own.  If we put in a mediocre PG against most teams, there's a good chance it could kill us.  I'm not saying we have to go after Andre Miller, but we'd be A LOT better off if we had a guy at least as good as Marbury.

 

 Lets throw some numbers in. Rondo 4th among PG in steals.
6th in Assists not counting Arenas short season. 52 in scoring among both guard positions. 3rd in point guards in boards per game.

 Perk 13th in boards among centers. 5th in blocks. 26th in scoring.

 I mean don't make me choose who I think is better. But Rondo is. For sure. I love perk to death, but it's Rondo. Did anybody see the Playoffs?
