Is Sam Cassell the answer to the Celtics PG dilemma?

How insane was that deal?

The Boston Celtics just got another high caliber guard in Sam Cassell just when we thought getting both Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen was enough.

Sure, we know that over the years, Sam Cassell has already lost a step or two, but they say as years go by, your intelligence gets deep. Same as the case of Sammy, which is what the Celtics needed.

Sam Cassell still has that killer mid-range shot that he's been known for, add that to his stability at the clutch. Many people are saying Sam has lost his touch compared to when he was with the Houston Rockets.

I say, he's still a solid outside threat and he will get wide open jumpers whenever the opposing team double-teams any of the Boston 'Big Three,' that's Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

Coming from the 1994 and 1995 Houston Rockets championship teams, Cassell brings leadership to the team to beat in the league right now. For sure, Cassell will help this team deep into the 2008 NBA playoffs.

Asides from bringing talent and leadership, this also means that the Celtics will have a far more deeper bench with Cassell, Posey, Pollard and newly acquired P.J. Brown.

Most of the Celtics bench players have been through the playoffs. Add that with the hunger of the young guns and superstars in the team and you have a very tough out in the East.
