But likes Lue I’ll never know. At least the offense flowed better through Marbury, even if he himself couldn’t put up a shot.

But hey, has long as the Celtics get someone, I suppose I’ll be satisfied regardless.

I like Mannix, but I’m glad he ain’t running the Cs.

We can ‘get by’ with House/Daniels/TA/ and possibly Hudson if he’s signed. Backup PG just isn’t a huge priority right now. Like the last 2 years, I suspect Danny will wait until midseason to fortify the backup point guard position.

If Danny does act on getting a ‘real’ point guard, it’ll be for someone with actual talent, not the scrubs hypothesized by Mannix. Guys like Marbury, Tinsley, Jason Williams, possibly even Iverson (who’s not a point guard, I know).

Why do people keep brining up his name . The only thing Lue can do is bring the ball up court. He can’t guard anyone. He kill’s the offensive flow. The rookie Hudson is better than Lue

Lue are you nuts? you need a backup pg to come in and change the pace, play solid d, and not turn the ball over. out of those three the only thing lue can do is handle the ball. He plays no d what so ever mainly because of his size he cant guard the big point guards and to old to guard the young quick ones, he cant change the pace at all because for one he is not someone that drives to the hole or push a fast break. Lue hasnt been jack since his one solid season as a laker. I would rather bring ainge out of the front office then lue on our bench.

Theres probably a reason for that.

I don’t mind Lue. I would just be concerend with what type of role they give him. If he’s strictly our primary back-up, I don’t want him.

….. Lue is horrible

I know so little about Lue these days. When was the last time he got any NBA minutes?

We’re stacked up front now, so we don’t have to go through the season thinking about guys getting bought out. With Daniels, we’ve got a solid swing backup (though I’d still like a bigger backup 3). This year, we’ve got Scal and TA’s expirings to work with to fix any holes we have. That’s a huge option we didn’t have the last couple of years. Even if Danny doesn’t address the backup PG before the season, I think it’s close to a stone cold lock that he’ll do so before the trade deadline. We’ll have our best bench of the last 3 years easily.

Ty Lue can’t crack the Celtics rotation … and I’d rather have Gabe Pruitt as my third string PG, at least Pruitt can play some defense.

jackson’s was and still is the better player.

he is sayin no marbury as hes not an option at all or he jus personally wuldnt want marbury? casue hes got way more upside than any of those scrubs who the hell is blake ahearn

I say No. But whatever DA gets I guess I have to deal with it.

But leaving the roster as is would be unacceptable. I don’t care who is brought in so long as he can handle the ball on an NBA level. Who knows if Hudson can do that? Tony Allen cannot do that, and House and Daniels need to be spelling Ray and Pierce.

The biggest function of this spot is to eat up minutes and preserve Rondo’s burst for the playoffs – which didn’t happen last year. I would be satisfied with Lue, Jackson, and likely others. This team can make up for 10-12 mpg of subpar PG play in the reg. season. They can’t make up for a drained/exhausted backcourt in the playoffs.

Aren`t worth the Federal Minimum Wage…let alone the NBA veteran minimum!

Might as well give the “rock” to Lester Hudson.
He`ll be “Rock Hudson”!

I never really thought about him, but he makes the most sense (out of the 3 listed). He definitely has very strong PG skills. People are talking about his Sac days, but I am pretty sure he tore it up in Charlotte, too…I am sure he is past his prime, but he definitely has the ‘instinct’…

WTH? Is the Spurs guy who played like 3 games last year? No clue?

Knight is supposedly a terrible locker room guy. i’d stay away. Bobby JAckson? If he can give you 10-15 a night, do it Danny!!

So I’m not voting.

I really like this kid. He tore it up in the D-league the last couple years and is absolutely an NBA talent, he just needs a shot with a team.

Mark Deeks from Bulls Confidential gives you a quick idea of who he is:

http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bulls-confidential/2009/08/remaining-free-agent-candidates-bulls-edition.html

Blake Ahearn – for the last two years, Blake Ahearn has been one of the best players in the D-League. For example, last year with the Dakota Wizards, Ahearn averaged 22.7 points and 5.1 assists per game, on a frankly ridiculous 67% true shooting percentage. All this coming as a 6’2 guard. Ahearn has already had stints with the Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs, and he’ll continue to get looks, because the league always needs shooters. The Bulls are no exception.

In the second unit, it would be nice to have a PG to space the floor for Daniels to work. With sheed, baby, eddie, and ahern there will be no shortage of shooters on the second unit. He just needs a shot and we can give him it.

hudson, and marbury least money most upside u kno wut ur gonna get from all the other veterans, which isnt much. i think hudson or marbury culd play a bigger role on this team if needed but the other no way.

dude had pigtails in Minnesota

he’s like a team mascot

definitely will down my Chi if he’s in my sight line

Age will play a big factor after a couple of years. I say sign Hudson and have him be Rondo’s backup. Give him minutes to gain experience. There is plenty of talented players on the team whom Hudson can learn from and gain advice. Yes he’s a rookie and yea he might have defensive problems, but look at the players coming off the bench who could play along side him: Wallace( we all know what he’s capable of), Williams (big guy that was brought in for his defensive capabilities), Daniels (can play offense and defense), Davis (we know what he can do), and House ( 2-way player). Walker will be alright with 3 min. tops. With a “defense first” scheme, Hudson will learn quickly.

Blake Ahearn? Is that a joke?? I guess i would be ok with Lue, not thrilled considering he doesn’t seem to bring anything to the table besides the fact that he is techinally a PG….Bobby Jackson is not a PG in my eyes, he’s more of an undersized SG duplicating House’s role. Plus he’s old, and would get burned on the Defensive end.

I also don’t understand what this new infatuation with White Chocolate is. He seemed to be washed up even when he won with the Heat 4 years ago. Marbury at least seems like he still has something to prove & is in better shape with more talent than any of the players listed above.

This is the only team in the league that can put him in his place, even to the point to where he looked shy. I would sign Marbury and cut him by the trade deadline if he didn’t work out. If they Can’t sign Marbury i’d rather just role the dice with Hudson.

  I like Juice’s idea about bringing Ainge back from the front office, rather then Lue. However, if I had my druthers, I think we’d be better bringing Bird back. With Bird, we wouldn’t need a PG.

But (as they say in TV commercials) WAIT! I think McHale is currently out of work and available…and his 3 point shot was very good the last two years!

Mike Taylor, who played fairly well for the Clips last year.

I would also keep an eye on guys who might get cut or who might be available in a trade, e.g. Roko Leni Ukic, who has a real feel for the game.

I’m not a fan of Lue, Jason Hart or any of the other available veterans. I likd Kevin Ollie, but he signed with OK City. I don’t think Bobby Jackson has anything left, but if he does, I guess he would be my first choice among the veterans if he’s willing to play for the minimum.

Saw him take over a game last year. Unless he is a known jerk or something I would think he is pretty ideal

Allen Iverson would be my choice if he would come to Boston.

because signing sam cassell, robert swift and now tyronn lue completes the weirdest looking NBA player trifecta!

Try Ty Lue? The Fan’s court has done that and the verdict is already out: He is guilty of can’t play good defense.
