Cassell would be an amazing addition to this team. He was a great teammate of Ray and KG's

Praying that he will accept a vet-min contract at the end of the season to back up Rondo.

Allowing us to sign a big man with the MLE.

no harm in picking up mighty mouse in the meantime

If we got Stoudamire, and House was forced to play more 2, then that would make for a REALLY small 2nd unit backcourt. I don't think Tony Allen would be a good 3. 6'4 is a bit short for the 3.

Cassell would be a better choice, but ESPN just reported that the Celtics supposed interest in him is false. Anyways, if we were interested in him, I'd have some concerns. Though he can bring the ball up the court effectively, he is a shoot first point guard. And a lot of the shots he takes require him to put the ball on the floor a lot. For example, he'll dribble and get a feel for his defender and then shoot a midrange shot. His game would take away from Pierce, Garnett and Allen.

Both of them are bad defenders, but if I were to choose one, I'd choose Cassell. But as of now I'm not convinced we should get either.

No way Cassel would be bad for the offense, i dont see it at all and ive been watching him for years... especially when he was playing next to KG.

Remember you dont necissarily have to play the back up point and House at the same time.. there isnt a lot of times that Ray and Paul are both of the court at the same time. its obvious we need a true PG for spot minutes, Cassel would be perfect but like i said Stoudamire would be better then nothing

Keep in mind, that Damon has always reacted bitterly when asked to come off the bench. He is a below average PG who thinks he is Isiah Thomas. The guy is locker-room poison.

If Stoudamire signs, who'll be the 2nd string SG, House or Allen?

His attitude doesnt really concern me... if he was signing here he would know exactly what he was getting himself into, if he wants more minutes or to start he would go somewhere else

there isnt really a "2nd string" on this team i dont think...meaning that it isnt the same every game that player x is first in and player y is 2nd in etc...if damon signs and is the backup pg and we need a defender in at the 2 then tony allen will come in...if we need a scorer then house will come in...its all about matchups

Exactly, Stoudemire gives us even more line-up possibilities which is never a bad thing, if we are up against smaller backcourts there is no harm playing House at the 2

I don't think we should change a thing right now unless it's an incredible deal for US.
If we can get some cap room or get a steal on a great veteran, cool.
If not, I say why bother to mess with what is currently the closest thing to perfection in the NBA???

but thats why Stoudamire is not an issue IMO, i would only pick him up for a 1 year vet min deal... very low risk for a position of need

Point taken.
As long as his ego can be kept in check, his skills would be worth it, I suppose.
