I'm hopeful, maybe even wishful, but I'm not expecting anything. An add this late in the season doesn't hold much hope anyway, but one that has serious issues like Lawson has even less. If he turns out to be a decent backup, it's a huge success, methinks.
Yeah I'm hopeful for decent backup as well. I loved him in Denver, though I never felt he was worth what trades of 3-4 years ago on the trade board had us giving up for him typically. But overall I feel like the plan may be more to see if he would be worth investing a couple of years (hopefully cheap and preferably some unguaranteed) in him next offseason.
So I guess the max potential I see here is him fitting in as a 6th man, giving him Stuckey's money for a couple of seasons, trading Stuckey, and signing a max guy like Horford. I'd put that at about less than a 1% chance, but to me that is the best semi-realistic scenario. I just don't see him regaining full form ever really, at least as far as being a legit starting guard. Which kind of means he is a gamble on a similar level to Bynum.
