Young non-star point guards

[magnifier661]

I'm fine with a Blake type point guard. One that doesn't make a lot of mistakes, can hit the open j and is smart enough to run an offense. I wish we could find a Greg Anthony type. Always a fan of that type of player.

This is what I've been preaching- we have options, and good ones, that don't include trading Batum. Granted, these players aren't top tier, but they'll a hell of a lot better than Failton and we should be able to get one of them without it being very painful.

But we have to be careful not to get a SG (Bayless, Mo Williams...) and try and make them into a PG. It's an all to often failed experiment.

Was just in Indy where George Hill is currently playing and went to school. Everyone I talked to loves him there as a possible PGotF, moreso than Collison. His picture is plastered all over on bus stops around the city. I don't see them letting him go in RFA unless someone makes a big offer, and I think we should look into him if we can't get any other proven player.

Hill went to IUPUI didn't he?

Anyways, LOL at trying to make Hill the PGOTF. I'm sure a guy that averages 2.5 assists per 36 will do great in that role. He's not even a combo guard. He's a mini-SG in every sense of the word. I seriously hope we don't make a run at him...

I never wanted to dump Miller for Felton, but that ship has sailed.

breaking: none of these guys would be that much of an upgrade over what we have now.

Breaking: Are you fucking kidding me?

I like Gaines. He could be an Avery Johnson type - bounced around, sticking because of "hustle and scrap" and deserves a chance. But the chances of him being better than Felton are slim.

Session looks like he would be better, but he puts up solid numbers yet teams never hold on to him or ask much for him, so I have to wonder if there's something we don't know. He doesn't seem to produce much in the way of wins, either.

In theory Farmar should be good. He had a monster game or two in the Euroleague. But he's tainted by Lakerism and he seems to be a bit too much of a gunner.

It's funny: I took away your restriction of 15 PER minimum, and Devin Harris's name popped up (he's at 14.8). How are the mighty fallen.

Agreed, grass is always greener on the other side. Especially as long as Nate contiunes on with the same offense.

While Felton has sucked, he ceiling is just as high as most those guys.

Devin Harris . . . Jazz have got to be thinking rebuilding.

The NBA trade deadline is coming March 15 and the 10-24 Toronto Raptors, who have the fourth-worst record in the league, have already had a "multitude of offers" for point guard Jose Calderon and guard Leandro Barbosa.

However, the team has said no to everything so far, according to the Toronto Sun. The paper also notes that "Raptors president/general manager Bryan Colangelo has said in the past that he is interested in extended Barbosa, who will be unrestricted this season."

Bayless

Dude's still has never reached 20 minutes a game average in his career. He plays on a butt-shitty team, too.

HAHAHA!!

Yeah, don't I know it! This is a tough crowd.

Tweet from Mills:

Patrick Mills ‏ @Patty_Mills
Moving forward... Portland still own my rights, so there options are to release me or sign me (roster is full) #goodheart

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I say we sign Mills and waive Joel.

Well we get Nash, then we may ship out more players than we get back. Then we can sign mills.n

Boston is aggressively shopping Rondo, according to sources. The Celtics find Rondo's personality to be too high-maintenance and his clashes with coach Doc Rivers continue. With the Celtics having realized they are no longer title contenders, they don't believe the payoff is worth the headaches Rondo brings, sources say. And they do not want to build around him

The grass isn't green right now, it's fucking brown and dead

HellifIknow ... but one thing is for sure his floor is whole helluva lot lower than anything those guys have demonstrated in the NBA.

What about trying to pry one of Dragic or Lowery from Houston? What about Johnny Flynn? He's currently rotting away behind Lowery and Dragic in Houston. He had a fairly promising rookie year, but was then completely destroyed by Kurt Rambis. He just turned 23 and it may still be possible to resurrect his career. If only we had Steve Nash, he could be a mentor for a young PG like Flynn for 2 or 3 years...
