Of how the bench will be composed and Daniels will be used.  If another 3 or a 3/4 is signed, Daniels will be used as Ray's backup but a ball handler to be paired with House. If we get a PG or another big he'll be a 2/3 instead.

Good point.  Although not just signing, could be a trade (eg: revisit the Scal+Tony to Sacto for Nocioni).  I think House, Daniels, Nocioni, BBD, SHeed would be a killer bench.

Totally agree with that. I would prefer for Daniels to be a PG with House and a more accomplished outside shooter like Nocioni be the backup to PP.

That'd prolly work. Have house guard the point, and have daniels control the offense.

I still think we get a backup point guard whether Davis is signed or not.

So let's assume Daniels comes to the Celts for TA & Scal.

That leaves the LLE still on the table correct?

If so, that leaves room for Danny to do one of the possible two scenarios:

A)  S&T Davis for a back up point and use the LLE on Powe when he gets healthy

B)  Sign Davis and use the LLE on a back up point.


The bench then can be filled in with the remains of Walker, Swift, Pruitt or Hudson.  (If the Celts go after a PG, Pruitt is gone)

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Some of you guys are ignoring the fact that players will only be content with a certain amount of playing time. I wouldn't be shocked If Danny just resigned BBD and called it a day. A ten man rotation only works in video games (barely in 2k). Sheed, and Daniels are going to want more than just 10-13 minutes. What we should be looking to pick up are serviceable vets who wouldn't mind riding the pine.

Let's say this is how the minute fall for the starters.
Rondo 36
Ray 35
Pierce 35
Garnet 34
Perkins 28

Assuming this is the starters minutes we have 72 minutes left to go around. 12 behind Rondo, 13 at each wing position, 34 at the PF/C. These guys are going to expect to play a certain amount of minutes, House probably wants 10-15, Daniel 15-20, Sheed 25-30, Baby probably 15-20. After these guys get their minutes their isn't going to be much left, bringing in someone else who is going to demand minutes won't work.

This is what I really hope happens.

i think scal is staying and tony, gabe and walker are going to be the deal for daniels...i would say dann'y next signing needs to be baby. we need to know one way or the other if he is or isnt going to be back. if he walks for free....danny has to fill 2 bigs and a point off the bench. i want baby back 100 percent BUT if he decides against it they need to do a sign and trade to get something out of him

Does no one think they might be trying to work Baby into this deal?  To get Foster as well for example....?

I was treating that as a seperate issue, I met the next player signed that wasn't on our team last year.  Obviously signing him is a priority but I meant outside of that should give us a better idea.  If he's signed he's the backup 4 possibly some backup 5 too.
