Didn't hear it myself, but apparently Haynes on Talkin' Ball tonight said that's what he believes will end up happening.
 
That's putting the cart before the lottery pick broke his foot in training camp didn't see a lot of playing time so we really don't even know if he is a NBA player horse.
 
I really don't think he can be the point. I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe otherwise.
 
No way. I like CJ, but he is simply not a PG. Bad idea.

Mo has been a point guard for a long time. And why not call it what it is, a combo guard who brings the ball up the floor. That's what Mo is, and that's what CJ would be, but I think we need an actual point guard.

agree with that. question is...who? A lot of fans want Bradley, but he's not a PG either.

Or...If Mo can't do it then CJ can't do it.
That was the problem, Mo was adequate as a PG but not great at it. Let CJ do what he does best, shoot. If he has to worry about other things he will not excel at his strength. That is what happened to Crawford. Never should have been at the point. Played much better with the clips....at SG.

thats not what he does best though. he is a guy that is at his best when the ball is in his hands. think brandon roy.

I really like Shaun Livingston. It just depends on what he expects to make. I also like Mario Chalmers, but he might be against backing someone up.

Yeah..put the ball in his hands and let him score. Not set up his teammates, run the offense, or bring it up against pressure.
 
What do you guys think the real market value for Livingston is?
 
I'm ok with CJ and Barton as our backup Gs, with, if they are in together, Barton is more of the PG.
 
I would like to see Ridnour or Hinrich, I know both are older, but would be solid back ups, both are FAs
 
Hinrich plays better Def, and they don't turn the ball over a whole lot. both can make jumpers and can run a team, and really you only need to give them 15 mins a game.
 
I think Mo needed more court time, and playing him and Dame together, sometimes it was a bit too loose and not so much D being played.

More court time? My dear friend, he averaged 25 minutes per game. That's quite a lot for a bench player.
 
I meant that Mo needed more court time than we would have to give to Hinrich or Ridnour. Mo wanted to be the sixth starter, I think that we could give either of the others 15 mins a game.

Mo led all backup PGs in Assists and Steals. CJ could never do that.

You give CJ 25 minutes a night next year and I bet he would. CJ is probably already a better defender than Mo

Lillard often looked frustrated when Batum used up seconds on the 24 bringing it up. Then Batum looked around for a receiver, gave up, tossed it to Lillard, who repeated the search. With the defense long set by now, Lillard would have to shoot and miss.

This is by Stotts' design, so next season will have a PG combo of Batum, McCollum, and Lillard. Olshey wants to prove his drafting skill, so get used to McCollum and Leonard for many years to come.
 
Nate, as Mo's biggest critic this season, you may pine for his return next season.
 
If we had Pop, shit like this would happen. I'm okay with it. I don't want to see Mo black-holing the ball any longer.
