Yea, he's unrestricted, but why would we want him? I'd much rather throw money at Speedy, Banks, etc. We already know that Chucky isn't going to run the offense very well or play D. He's a streaky shooter, and that's about it.Quote:

And if they do fuck 'em. We don't have to wait 15 days anymore so it's no big deal.
Wow, you're really high on Banks.
I remember that being the case when we were discussing the Wally-Ricky trade a while back, so you are nothing if not consistent.
You only do Banks at the MLE if you're thinking of dealing Chauncey next year. Banks isn't going to want to be Chauncey's backup for the next 3+ years, and there's a few teams that would want to start him and pay him.
here's what i'm wondering......Joe D made is clear we want to bolser our bench. towards the end of last season when Flip was giving Delk substantial minutes, him and Dice were putting up like 20 ppg together.Quote:

i'm not saying we should stand pat with our bench roster, but if we end up keeping Delk, i personally wouldn't mind, as long as Flip's willing to give him the minutes. of course, if there is a slashing/penetrating PG out there we can get, that i'm all for that. does Banks play that role?
Yea, I was saying ever since we got Delk mid-season that we should have been seeing a main bench rotation of...Quote:

I have always thought that Delk could easily work well at PG in certain situations. Let either Delfino or Tayshaun (whoever's on the floor) share some of the duties running the offense, and let Delk play the scorer role instead of the playmaker (which is Delfino's specialty, not scoring). It's all about putting a player where they're most comfortable. You can't just force guys into roles that they aren't used to and expect it to work.
I definately think you're right that we don't need a "true" PG. But they have to be able to at least do one or the other (scoring or dishing). Lindsey can't. That's where we run into a problem. Therefor, I think Delk would be fine as our main backup PG, but that's only if he's used properly (to guard PGs, but play a shooters role in the O). I'm not confident that Flip will see that though.
That's him. He's quick and explosive at breaking down the D and getting to the rim. He's not a great set shooter, but he's very good at scoring around the rim or creating his own jumpshot. Plus he's young and he's some fresh blood that is probably hungry for wins after years in Boston and Minny.Quote:

How bad is Ainge going to look (again) if Banks turns out to be as good as some here think he will be?
He tried forever to get rid of Banks (didn't he even deal him out west in a deal that fell through?) and finally did so.
What is Danny's #1 offseason priority this summer, yep, finding a PG.
I agree that Banks could be ready to break out (Chauncey II)... ironic if we get Banks for the same reasons as C.B.... and McHale is left with the gimps/big salaries... something about sticking it to McHale puts a smile on the face.
We still have to wait on Delk's decision.
I think Banks was originally part of the deal that sent Kwame Brown to the Lakers.
Banks has sucked everywhere he's been. Chauncey Billups? Please.
