Jerry Stackhouse a good option?

[jdub1660]

I was for sure he was going to ATL. Turned out he wasn't really interested in the Hawks b/c they aren't actual title contenders. Dallas is no longer an option so I say Boston. I know Lester was just signed to make our 15 man roster, but I say we trade Tony to any team with a draft pick and some cash to cut him(not all the 2.5 mil). Otherwise, cut him anyways so we can get Stack. He can still play. He's a larger SG(6'6) can defend, can slash to the basket, Great freethrow shooter, and can hit the 3. He doesn't need 30 minutes per game, so he could fit perfect behind Pierce or Ray. I'm sure he'd play for the vet min if we got rid of Tony Allen. Thoughts bloggers?

Just another thought; I love Scal but if we had to open up 2 roster spots then trade him, but I'd jump on a trade of Tony,Giddens and Walker. Then we could sign both Stackhouse AND Bobby Jackson.

Indifferent.  Would rather take a gander at Bobby Jackson if we're pursuing another veteran.  Stack would help, but it'd help more for there to be another PG so Daniels doesn't have to play too much out of position.  Was it his ankles that were hurting last year?  Any word on Stack's health?

No way in hell do we "just cut" TA.

I do love Stackhouse, but i'd rather see JR and Billy compete for that role... they both still have that explosiveness that Stack once possessed.


BUT if we dump off TA and Scal for picks, or one player in return, I'd get Stack if he was still on the market.

This would also be interesting.

No need for Stack, with Daniels on board. Beyond Ray/Paul/Daniels, i'm cool with running the kids as 3rd string swingmen.

Yeah.  If some trade went down and we didn't have TA, Walker, and Giddens all available, I wouldn't mind Stack.  But right now we're probably better of keeping the depth at the 1 spot with Hudson.

But what I'm suggesting is that we finally trade Tony to open up that spot, and add in Walker too. With both of them gone, that leaves open minutes for Stack. Plus Walker injured his knee AGAIN, and is getting surgery AGAIN. Sorry but sounds like a busted draft pick. Get rid or Tony with Walker and you get 2 open spots(assuming the other team takes them both with a draft pick and gives us nothing in return, like OKC) then we sign Bobby Jackson and Stackhouse and the roster would be perfect all year WITH or W/o injuries.

If roster spot opens up, I'd be OK with it.  But I don't think he'd see more than spot minutes (especially in the playoffs) if everyone is healthy. 

But heck, I'd be for it.  Couldn't hurt if the room opened up.

If Stackhouse was on this team RIGHT NOW he wouldn't beat out Giddens and Walker for that spot... and thats why he's at home.

I keep seein' people suggest that they'd rather find a backup pg than sign Stack (or another wing for that matter).

Well, I've been suggesting for the last couple of months or so that, we trade Tony Allen to Golden State for Acie Law.

The money matches perfectly for the deal to go through.
The situation is perfect, b/c clearly TA just proves over and over again, that he just can't adjust his game in to what the Celtics want to do. His game is best suited for a Don Nelson type of offense.  Acie Law is on a team log-jammed at pg's,(monta, steph curry, speedy,cj watson) and uncoventional pg's (stephen jackson, Anthony Randolph, corey maggette). There's no room open for Acie to play.

We need a backup point, and bringing in Acie who is almost the same size as TA, can play alongside EHouse , and it'll take care of our backup wing, because now you can put Marquis Daniels back at his natural position.

A simple trade that takes care of everything. you'd still have scal, walker, and giddens, as trade bait later on in the year. 2nd unit will look like this: Law...House..Daniels...Davis...Sheed

[SCBirdman]

there will be better players available at the trade deadline. Just be patient. We have valuable assets in expiring contracts. They will be more valuable in February. We need to wait and see what position needs filling, then DA can trade Scal, TA, and any of our young guys with an expiring deal for some one who can help us finish the job and hang banner 18.
