Just saw this story on realgm.com

I used to think this guy could bhe good, even after his joke of a rookie campaign, but now I wonder if he has a future in the league at all.

I heard about it this morning. funny how Danny Ainge & Co decided to trade rights to either BRANDON ROY and/or RANDY FOYE for this dude hoping he would mesh with Delonte West who plays the same position and had a breakout year the year before.

by **Matt** on Wed Apr 25, 2007 6:11 pm

West is more of a 2 guard....but anyway, Telfair was absolutely horrible this season. He can't shoot and he didn't do anything with his blazing quickness. Rajon Rondo the rook took charge when he was on the floor. Telfair just doesnt look like NBA material at this point.

what are his options? if he doesnt go to another team

the DL prob, or the ABA.

but anyway, I have never liked Telfair and to be honest I dont really care that he is gone.

by **Silas** on Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:23 pm

lol, ABA. Anyone can play in the ABA now it's not a league for somebody the caliber of Telfair. Europe is a much more realistic option.

I don't think Telfair will leave the NBA. Somebody is going to be stupid enough (or bald) to sign him...

by **Matt** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:56 am

to quote someone else

Honestly,if Telfair had Chris Paul's game he could walk around with a RPG and he'd still be a Celtic next year. His game isn't up to snuff and this gun thing is a convient excuse to cut him loose.

Maybe Zeke will pair Telfair up with his cousin Starbury.

Somebody will pick him up in NBA, but he's not going to be a big minutes guy, maybe 10th-11th man on the bench

Don't remind me....ugh....I want Randy on the Celtics so desperately.

you know who i want on the Celtics? Lasme, god I'd bust a nut over that one. Hell Freeman, Life, anyone from UMass would be sick too.

by **Scorer--20** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:01 am

Well , the spurs still need a bench PG better than Uldridh or Vaugh

Or the Lakers could sign him.

He will not leave.

Edit: I didn't know it , Marbury is Telfair cousin :shock:

by **[Q]** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:10 am

meh, I don't think Telfair would fit in the triangle in LA.

also, Vaughn AND Udrih are better than Telfair, especially in Pop's structured system.

by **Matt** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:48 am

i think Lakers are looking for a good PG.....they already have the shitty spot filled.

by **Scorer--20** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 11:42 am

Qballer, hmm yeah its true.

But , Telfair wasn't a good player ?? lol he was rated 70 or so in the live 06 =P

Anyway the knicks will sign him :lol:

Farmar's really starting to come out. Don't tihnk Smush will be back but they still got Shammond too.

by **mAgoTT50** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:37 pm

finaly. maby he should go too europe for some years and come back when he is realy ready too play

by **Christopherson** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:52 pm

Why exactly would a team want Telfair on their bench as a 10th-11th man? Those are supposed to be glue guys who are good in the locker room and professional and all. You think a team wants to put Telfair in a lockeroom with rookies and have him help teach them the ropes? That just doesn't make sense. Telfair's best hope is to try and make the And 1 tour or something.

Would you be surprised to see it happen?

by **[Q]** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:55 pm

that would be the only reason anyone would pick him up.. to sell tickets & jerseys.

there's no way he'd go to Europe. he has too much pride.

he is rated 75 overall with some great speed and quckness. i think his speed is 95 and quickness is 97....

anyway, i wouldnt mind if he came back to the Blazers, only as long as he wasnt paid very much and we gave them back Raef LaFrentz in return(i hate that guy! :lol:

)

by **Metsis** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:50 pm

Well, Knicks will trade for him and give up David Lee and Renaldo Balkman to the Celtics...

That's how they have operated in the past... At least as long as Zeke's been in town.

by **TSquared** on Fri Apr 27, 2007 5:23 am
