Not really that important. I've started a thread listing players off that haven't been as talked about, that could be helpful to the C's, and Wally was one of them. He was still capable of making Ray look like a fool on defense when we played them. Ray's not great, but that impressed me.

We're talking about very, very limited minutes. Not a rotation guy, but someone we can stick in there to spread the floor when needed. I think he can do that for us. I would be all for signing him if we are able to pull a 2 for 1 in a S&T with Marquis so we are able to keep some roster spots vaccant.

I think it's very unlikely that Ainges plans on any kind of contribution from Hudson next year. That would give you how many very good 3pt shooters off the bench: Scal, House, Sheed, Lue, Bowen.


Moving one of our few young guys and taking on two more old guys? Not what I think this team needs. Didn't Danny acknowledge as much in the last press conference?

Still think Iverson will be coming to be a combination backup PG/SG on a one year vet min. Iverson seems like he gets along well with the Big 3.

Time will tell.

I think Iverson would retire before he would play for the vet min. I wonder if he goes to europe. if he cant get MLE from anyone.

Iverson for the vet min or lle,.. haha, that would be outrageous. I remember when he was in Philly he wanted to come to Boston. If we could possibly pull that off House's minutes would be gone. I'd pick'm up in a second for the lle.

Our 8 man rotation should visit Iverson and say "Hey, you can get a ring with us or you can go overseas like a sucker. Your choice." and if that doesn't work then Iverson's career takes a small blow.

I'd really like to see Iverson on the team as the 6th man. Because who doesn't need a guy and can drop 20-30 points and 5-6 assists off the bench? The Celtics?
