Marc Stein: Leon Powe will rejoin the C's! Murphy working on buyout

GState beat writer says there is zero chance murphy is in a GS uniform again

Good news.  If we can add Murphy to the team, our offense off the bench will be very potent.  West, Green, Murphy: all capable of scoring in a variety of ways and playing off Rondo/Pierce effectively

imagine a bench line up of west wafer krstic, green and murphy...that is better than some starting NBA line ups...then you factor in baby and 2 other signed buyouts...the bench is going to be lethal

Wow, I didn't realize how good of a 3pt shooter Murphy is for his career 39% on 2.3 attempts per game.

He is also a beast on the board up until this season when he hasn't played much . Averaging 8.5 for his career.


Can anyone look up his post defense and pick and roll defense is he a strong defender?

He's a pretty slow, stiff, and lazy defender.  It's a major weakness.  I've read at least a few reports that his defense is so bad that it makes his offensive and rebounding contributions neutral, but I think that if he's used in the proper spots, he can be a big asset.

I agree that it's got the potential to be a pretty fantastic bench.  However, what NBA team has a starting lineup worse than Krstic / Murphy / Green / Wafer / West?  I feel bad for the fans of that franchise.

well, that lineup is better than the cavs starters, and they just beat the Knicks. It's only 1 gam, but just sayin

Nah...  Give me Mo (or B.Diddy) / Sessions / Eyenga / Jamison / Hickson.  Even better if you give them Varejao, and if they reconfigure the lineup to include Parker.

Anyway, I don't want to go off on too much of a tangent; we've got the potential for a very good bench.

Aside from Wafer all of those guys have started for much or most of their careers.  If your 2nd team can compete with the starters of a non-playoff team I still think that's impressive.  Realistically these guys are going to face the 2nd team of the our opponents and I don't think anyone can match this depth.

Tim Kawakami says there's no update yet on Murphy's buyout:

No resolution yet between Warriors and Troy Murphy. It comes down to buy-out terms. Why does it always come down to W's & agent Dan Fegan?

What are our chances of signing Dalembert? He would fit in perfectly and he's been playing very well lately.

there is probably a better chance that Sheed can still see his toes past his belly when standing upright

I agree, but it looks like they tried to see if they could get someone to bite by the trading deadline but they won't let him go now.
