Marquis Daniels has never scored 15 PPG in his life. The guy is not that good. He put up 13.6 last year due to massive injuries (mainly Dunleavy and Granger) giving him more PT and shots. He averages 9 PPG for his career and is a SG that shoots 20% from three. He averages almost as many turnovers as assists. The guy is a marginal "me first" SG with no range. Why some of you love him so much puzzles me. Oh, and he gets to the line 2 times a game.

Good post. There's a reason why the Pacers aren't picking up his option. (and it isn't because he's not white!)

Why would you spend that much money on a clear backup to what you have at the guard/forward position? Sure there is a talent and injury issue, but it's just simple economics. If they can get him for a much reduced rate, it's a win-win.

He may not score 15 ppg, but he's a hell of a lot better than Write and Eddie Jones.

Plus, it will be easier for him to get shots when playing with Howard, Dirk, (maybe Kidd) rather than the scrubs in Indiana.
