Bucks moving veteran PG Dooling to Boston?

[Fafnir]

Where's the incentive for the Celts?

If you can get him for a trade exception, it's a back up PG whose contract expires after this season.  Pretty much any other decent player at that spot will demand more than a one year deal and Ainge's gotta save that cap space for next year.

Mike

Yeah, I'd like to have him and Delonte.

I can say this about Keyon Dooling. He's one of the only players Ray Allen has ever fought in a game lol. I beleive Ray was in Seattle at the time but i vividly remember that fight.

Don't sleep on Dooling.  He is a very good defender, a solid shooter, and knows how to run a team.  Pretty much exactly what you want from a back PG.

I would have preferred that Danny offer the $2.4 million under the trade exception to a free agent in a sign-and-trade.  There have got to be players better than Dooling out there.

How many good FAs are out there looking to sign for $2M? Chuck Hayes just got 3 times that... and Dooling is actually one of the better defenders in the league (if used in the right spots)...

Consolation prize if we don't land CP3?

yay.

[nickagneta]

For the trade exception that's going to expire soon, I like it. Delonte will want more than a year, probably, and he is fragile. Dooling is a very good defender, can hit the outside shot but isn't the greatest floor general.

Still for 8 minutes a game, he will do and if you can get West for one year and have to send Bradley out in a CP# deal, you will need both West and Dooling.

Actually he played 80 games last year.  Healthy, just not very good.

What exactly is expected from a bench player who sees ~20 minutes of action? 20 and 10?

Wow.  NBA players really can't fight, can they?  Good thing.

With all the cheap shots out there, it's a wonder it doesn't happen more often.

Well Rondo had a bad year shooting the ball, and Dooling's TS% was pretty closely in line with Rondo's.  He's one of the worst rebounding guards in the league.  He's not a great passer.

Just because he's a bench player doesn't make him exempt from criticism for below-average production.
