Dooling Or Nate?

[chenaren]

To be honest, I don't like Dooling's game at all. Nate just got bought out by the Thunder recently. Can we bring him back at the veteran minimum?

[hpantazo]

Not even comparable, Dooling is far superior to Nate. He's a true pg, a team leader, and a smart player. Nate is none of those things.

There are reasons why Nate remains unsigned. I wouldn't be surprised if no team picks him up.

ill take defense, consistency, and leadership . . . so Dooling.

Dooling is a top notch perimeter defender and yes a true backup PG which we've lacked in recent years. Moore can be a nate in the making if we want a shooting guard off the bench. But TBH this bench needs all the help it can get with Jeff Green out.

   We have a professional, get it done, focus, grind it out mentality this season.  We went out of our way to get these guys, left cheap talent in Delonte, traded a very important guy with a lot of chemistry and continuity in Baby etc.  We're not going to throw that all away and get Nate.  Nate is a tremendous athlete, and a good scorer when he's on.  Dooling is a legit combo guard with good size, athleticism, defense and passion.  He can run an offense which is even more important considering that we have Avery Bradley and a second round draft pick competing for the two guard spot.  Just picture a Nate and Bradley backcourt before tossing Dooling out of Boston.

I greatly dislike Dooling.

Too erratic and inefficient/ineffective offensively to be a rotation player for a team with playoff hopes. He will cost the Celtics game(s) in the playoffs.

  I don't think he'll play enough to cost the Celts games in the playoffs.

I hope so. Keep him on the bench.

Rondo is going to need to play 42-45mpg in the playoffs with this chap around.

Do you think Delonte was better in some way?

Is Nate a free agent yet?  I know he wants his release, but I'm not sure that the Thunder have obliged yet.

Yes, very much so. One of the best backup combo guards in the league.
