Stoudamire bought out. 

Post#1 » by Puertorique » Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:15 am

Didn't see a thread on this yet.

So now that Damon is bought out what teams would he help. I think Boston, Miami and Orlando would be good spots for him.

I disagree. Orlando has already tried running a midget player who loves to chuck at the point and realized that it's not effective so I doubt they sign Minny Mouse. Miami also flat out sucks so I don't know why Minny Mouse would go there... Boston makes perfect sense for him however. First of all he'll be used as a backup so his erratic shooting won't hurt the team that much, and secondly... The Celtics don't have many competent ballhandlers outside of the starting lineup so Minny Mouse fills a need for them.

Eddie House and Damon are pretty similar and would figure to come into the game at the same time. I donno if that would be very effective for the Cs to have two shoot first undersized gaurds.

Obviously I'd love to see him on the Knicks for pure entertainment. I think the wizards may take a look at him seeing as how they are down in PGs.

Boston seems to be the obvious choice. His experience and ability to space the floor would be perfect, also more of a true PG than a guy like Eddie House.

Damon can actually dribble the ball unlike House.

i rekon damon could control his shooting, and distribute more if he was playing for a contender like boston.

Damon would be foolish not to go to Boston and Boston would be foolish not to go after him.

Orlando has enough short, offensive-minded players already, thank you very much.

I think Toronto and Boston will be his top options.

he could be miami's saviour this season. for all we know, he could lead them to the title this season, if he gets his game right.

I realise we won't offer more than the min but it's almost worth paying him extra just so he doesn't fall to Bos.

He would help our bench immensely!

Ehh, he'd be alright, but we already have a glut of guards that are not legit starters with Alston, Head, Brooks, James, and Francis.

I think he goes to cleveland. He automatically starts, besides the fact that Sasha Pavolovic is out for two months. Larry slides back to the two and doesnt mess up the chemistry of the bench. He spreads the floor for Lebron and is playing for a contender but is the only contender he can come in and start.

Celts
2a - Raps
2b - Suns

He's going somewhere he will get minutes...theres no way he's getting minutes (that he wants) from the Suns/Nash.

With TJ out (who knows how long) I think Toronto might edge out the Suns

I think it's pretty much a given that he wants to play for Boston. The question is, do they want him?

Cleveland has previously mentioned that they have no interest in him. He's not a good defender or shooter. I'm not sure how he'd fit in at all.

Anyone who says Damon can dribble should have watched him when he played...

He has too bulky a pair of arms and he constantly loses control of the ball and has to hustle to get it. I'd say about 3x a game...
