Can Someone Help Me Understand... Why Did We Not Resign These Guys...?

[BballTim]

I'm still stuck in a serious consideration of why with our lack of seasoned bench talent, Danny Ainge and the Celtics passed up on a few of these guys:

Troy Murphy
Tonight vs. Chicago - 5 offensive rebounds in 27 minutes (more than the entire starting line-up of our team in 48 minutes).  

Delonte West
Tonight's 3 steals and 10 points on what is largely a slow night for him, is far more production than Dooling and the absolutely talentless Bradley.

Now if Semih Erden has a breakout year in Cleveland I'll add him to the list.

  Maybe we would have give Murphy most of Brandon's minutes?

  I don't see him getting onto the floor long enough to get those boards yesterday. Similarly, it's possible that Semih will have a "breakout" season on a lottery team, doesn't mean he'd do the same thing on the Celts.

West was hurt a lot and I think that is one reason why Danny let him walk.   How many series could he not go last year because of dinged up body when we see Rondo play with one arm.
