C's Looking at Patterson, Posey, and Jones

Ainge idiot (Rivers)-proofed the roster after 3 seasons of incremtalization. That should disqualify Posey and Patterson. Hopefully it does.

Yes please a backup point guard. Preferably without a rap sheet. All we really need is someone to spell rhondo and offer a little stability in the playoffs. A good passer, good defender who can drive the lane and occasionly hit the spot up jumper. Please no Jones,Payton,Patterson,Sura,Sarunas,Hudson. We need the X factor.

I got it. Anthony Johnson. He absolutely tooled Banks last time we made the playoffs. He didn’t hurt his teams with his play either. Sign him up!!!!—lol

Wow, where’d you hear Jones get called a point guard? I watched his career at Duke and he was strictly a 2 or 3 (in fact, almost exclusively a 3). I can’t even imagine him being called a PG.

He’s a solid defender and very athletic. Had a poor jump shot in college. Don’t know what it’s like these days.

Anthony Johnson is a perfect buy low candidate.. he had a bad run in dallas but he isnt a write off just yet..

We need backups, not starters. Choices are limited and Danny is probably looking for one-year deals….chances are that, as funny rediculous as it may sound, Posey/Patterson/Jones might be out of our reach….

From the Celtics prospective we need a deal. I don’t know the exact figures on the cap but i thought we were hitting the luxary tax threshold.(assist here). D Jones I believe will command more than I would want to pay. I would tryout Jason Williams and Annothy Johnson. Cap numbers are tight from here onward.
 :o 8) :o

Fat John,
Johnson is a solid choice. Makes much more sense than those Ruben The Creep Patterson.

I paid attention to both Reuben Patterson and James Posey when they were in college. Posey was tempermental, but mostly a stand-up guy. On the other hand, Patterson was trouble waiting to happen. The Celtics could do without either; but please, no Patterson.

Dahntay Jones absolutely cannot play the point at the NBA level. For a wing he has a horrendous handle, terrible passing skills and cannot shoot to save his life. This is why he has yet to find a niche in the league. The only thing keeping him around is his athleticism which allows him to matchup with skilled wings around the league in a pinch. He’s be a cheap one-year option fighting for minutes with Tony Allen……it’s called throwing sh*t against the wall and seeing if something sticks. Not a terrible idea until next summers FA class.

vet pg, vet pg, vet pg, etal. ruben is a tough banger -fouls to waste. the problem is who’s his po ? posey can play good d and is rough as well. jones no way.

If Patterson has his head screwed on right, I’d chose him; if not I’d take Posey. I’ll pass on D. Jones.

This team needs two things really. A veteran PG as insurance for Rondo, and a banging big man that can rebound and defend the post. We could use a defensive wing player since PP and Ray A are older, and not particularly good defensively. Tony Allen could be that player, but with his knee a question mark, we don’t know for sure. However, I think an Anthony Johnson or Troy Hudson make the most sense as they would be cheap, and 1 year rentals. The cap is not friendly for the C’s right now.

Jones couldn’t play for the lonely Grizzlies last year. No Deal & he is strickly a “3”.

Patterson got too much RAP.

Johnson too inconsistent.

I’m very concerned about TA’s remarks of being only 65% healed, it seems to me that he should be 80% or better by now.

I’m leaning towards Sarunas as the best PG option right now. Wait for roster cuts to add the “3”.

no to patterson!!!

We have a chance to be a wholesome clean family team
Americas team.. rp isnt worth ruining that

No love for Posey around here, but I think he would be a great fit. He’s an energy guy and as Doc likes to say “energy is a skill” . Plus, he brings a bit of edge on the court (just ask Chicago) and is not afraid to be a little chippy. He can back up PP at the 3, and even play some 4 in a small ball lineup since he’s a pretty darn good rebounder. Unlike Patterson, he can shoot the 3. If the owners are willing to pay, it would be a very nice signing.

Well it looks like we got Posey

We’re not going to be sorry Ainge signed Posey. He’s going to fit in nicely. Even as a college senior, when he was the best player on his team, he was working to fit in with the rest of the squad and with what the coach wanted.
