30Q: How Would You Grade Danny's Offseason?

 once he decided to keep Ray,he shot ALL his money into a full mid-level on JO…that is his baby for this off-season…after that it was resign who we can and add experienced bodies…he did that but Jermaine will be his measuring stick

 we beat the Heat by hanging with our starting 5 and throwing bodies at them the rest of the time…Time will tell….B grade so far

 to your 2nd point-Danny has a ton of ending contracts and come the Feb deadline can be very active…and usually is

I think we need a reliable backup for P. Not sure MDaniels/ Waffer are up to the task, but all things considered, DA did very well.

Wasn’t thrilled initially with the JO and Wafer signings, but then Danny seemed to pull Shaq and West out of thin air for peanuts.

THE 7TH GAME SHOULD HAVE DICTATED A PAY CUT which would alliowed real talent on their team --bosc, carmelo, paul shaq—good———5 minute no points allowed lakers to win——real sad…

A+

Nate
Quisy
Wafer
West
Erden
all have moveable contracts

assuming wafer learns the D enough to beat out Gaffney and earn a spot.
I highly doubt West is going anywhere, i feel he will play the 6 roll, especially for the bargain price, it would have to be hell of a deal to move him
but you put Nate and Quisys contracts or Nate, Wafer and Erdens contracts together and you can take back a midlevel player, hell you do a 3 for 1 you can then still take on a Gaffney or a Sheed as insurance
dont get me wrong i am happy with the roster as it is, just saying he has options

A++

When this topic was raised back in July, I gave him a D for what had been accomplished to that point. Now, I’ll give him an A. JO, Shaq, Wafer, West to shore up the bench. Resigned Quisy as a back up 3 (when he’s healthy). Incredible haul of talent considering all he had was the MLE and vet min contracts to dole out. Only thing that could have gone better is if he moved Sheed’s contract for a really good back up SF or at least for a cap exception to be used at a later date. If that’s the worst thing I can come up with, Danny’s done a very solid job.

He seems to be forgotten here. I think the trade for him is DECIDEDLY in the Celts favor. We gave up a nice player, sure, but not a starter or even a 6th man. Nate is a first-guard-off-the-bench kind of player that can impact a game not just with three point shooting.

This was a huge re-signing. The C’s now have a player worth even more in another trade, or a great energy guy off the bench in Nate.

Danny deserves a A. With the amount of cap space he had plus the talent he brought in. We weren’t getting top tier guys but we got guys that filled our needs.

Except for completely misplaying the TA situation, Danny has done everything right.

The TA situation wasn’t misplayed. It was about the same money. TA said he wanted to go somewhere where he would have an increased role. He wasn’t going to get that in Boston.

vey good except for losing ta and keeping the bum, daniels. he hurts this team. i really like getting d west. if his head is on straight, he can really help. good shooter and can drive to the bucket and dunk on people!

Danny made pretty much every move he was able to make. He answered all but one need (SF bench depth – and even there we are arguably no worse off than last year).

And if the job’s goal is to field a contender without mortgaging the future – Danny definitely did that.
