I'd agree with you 100 percent if Bibby didn't have such a string of poor seasons. And because of Wally's injuries it would make sense to have someone healthier come in to bring scoring off the bench or filling in the pg spot. With paul pierce, tony allen and al jefferson, I think the celtics would benifit with a gaurd geared towards passing.
With that said, I don't think Bibby really brings any "positional need". Because A. you dont have to spend that much to have scoring off of the bench, and B we can find a better way to get rid of Wally.
And speaking of getting rid of Wally, why trade a guy who shoots a career.404 from the 3 (.415 last season, .400 the season before) and a .862 from the free throw line for a guy that shot .360 from the three and .830 from the line? Is it really an upgrade? I don't think so.
overrule, overruled.
The only way I'd get Bibby is for Wally and if he backs Rondo up. However, I have to call you on the following BS you sprouted:
1) Please propose a realistic trade with Wally that's better than getting Bibby. I'd like to see it.
2) Why would we not trade a backup who in the past three years averaged 17 points, 2.5 assists, less than 4 boards, half a steal with serious injuries, for an injury free pg with 19 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and more than one steal?
BTW Bibby shot 39% from three in 06, a measley .02 lower than Wally, and has compensated for his .02 gap in free throw shooting by getting to the line 100 times more than Wally each of the last three seasons.
3) If Bibby had such a "string of poor seasons," why did he outscore, outpass, outsteal, and outdefend Wally on a better team while getting to the line more and shooting only a bit worse than Wally? WOW, Wally must be having a string of dogpoop seasons.
Please address each of these concerns.
