Get Creative, Get Cassell?

To be perfectly honest getting Sam Cassell does not sound creative to me, it sounds crazy! If something is not broke than why fix it? Yeah, okay, I know TA has not been perfect bringing the ball up court. But I do not see tony’s sub par PG skills to be reason to bring in Cassell. Bringing in Cassell would distrupt Rondos development. Also it would distrupt the bench. House, and poseys minutes would be diminished. Cassell just does not seem like the correct move for me. Bringing in Cassell would me reminiscent of when the Lakers brought in both Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Especially Payton. We all know that team did not work out in the end for LA. There is no need for any moves right now for the C’s.

ummm…NO…team chemistry..nuff said

Chemistry is important; but it’s not going to make up for a lack of talent in June. If anything, the case for chemistry should say that any move the C’s make should be done now so that the team can develop chemistry before the playoffs.

This team looks great, but they still haven’t played the Spurs, Mavs, or Suns. I wouldn’t get overly cocky yet and turn my nose up at talent if I’m Danny Ainge.

Yes……Yes………Yes……. period YES !!! ;) ;)

Sam is exactly what this team needs. And it’s not because of his history with KG either. He’s a very smart player and heads up playmaker. His scoring is not the what it once was but his instincts and ball handling skills are needed.

It would not disrupt Rondo’s development, but he brings the “Dennis Johnson” game in him to the Celtics. He will only enhance Rondo’s game and allow Rondo to pick his brain as well.

Having Sam and Eddie H coming off the bench will most certainly bring added Veteran presence off the bench.

Sam is very instinctive in his game and brings a aura about him to this team that won’t hamper the chemistry on this team

Ancient Red,sorry but don’t agree. Celtics have a strong 10 man line up. Posey, House, Pollard, Big Baby, Tony Allen off bench. Cassell is more a minus than a plus to the current roster. Scal, Powe, Pruitt make up the rest UNLESS someone gets hurt.

Sam is old and doesn’t play defense. TA isn’t the best at bringing up the ball but he can really defend. Cassell would just take minutes from TA at the expense of the Celtics defense. I wouldn’t take any player who is not at least as good as what the Celtics have defensively.

Just say no, Danny.

Sam Cassell for Marcus Banks?

Clipps to take a flier on a young point who’s underachieved … him and Livingston in the backcourt together ….

I’d like Livingston as a two guard. He’s much better defending wings than points. He’d allow Marcus to be a scorer more often too.

Brevin Knight just got injured, terrible news for LA. He’s arguably their second best player. It also means more minutes for Sam Cassell.

i like sam, but- he’s ancient,thus a 1 year fix. he takes other’s minutes. i don’t think he sees himself as a spot player. he is past his prime on defense, which is the cornerstone of this team. i do not list his assets which are many.

I think Cassell is too used to being the main guy and I see him as a shoot first guard. I don’t know how he’s doing this year and I don’t know the financial implications, but I just don’t see him as a fit here. I personally like Tyron Lue if he’s gettable. I would also like to see any move, if one is made, not allow the roster to get above the present 13. To me, a backup point will mainly serve the purpose to allow TA and Eddie House to concentrate on what they do best (but House seems to be doing fine in this respect).

He was getting burnt by Tony Parker the other day which doesn’t bode well if looking to add a player to put us over the top on the Spurs. However with that said, I like what Doc did going offense/defense with Rondo and TA in the last couple minutes against Detroit (mainly because Tony couldn’t hold on to the ball on offense) and Sam certainly would be a useful player in that role. Let’s not forget that at this point I would only call the C’s as good as Detroit and we have no idea how we face up against the best of the west. Sam has played with Ray and KG before, is a better shooter than Rondo, and overall could probably give us 10-15 minutes of back up PG help and fill in on days when House isn’t hitting his shots (i.e. most road games). Also, Sam is NOT a cancer in any way shape or form.
