If Bev were truly out for the season, I'd be surprised if Morey doesn't pull over a PG from overseas. Maybe even Llull if possible.
i would feel 100x more comfortable to give prigioni more PT if he got his 3 pt shot down... can someone tell the coaches to put him on the smoove regimen??

Losing Bev for the season is in no way a good or ok thing. His game is sub-par as a starting PG, but he's still the best PG on this team.
A few thoughts: 1) It was a year ago that we were told initially Bev had a season-ending knee injury. The dude was back in the lineup 2 weeks later. 2) It's his non-shooting hand. He's gonna try to play with whatever ligament damage he's sustained. LaMarcus Aldridge's torn ligament in the thumb of his non-shooting hand was supposed to knock him out for up to 2 months. We saw what happened there. 3) It's a contract year. Let me reiterate. Bev will try to play. His agent reportedly didn't want Dragic traded here because it would negatively impact Bev's value as a free agent this offseason. What do you think shutting it down for the season right before the playoffs would do to his earning potential? 4) Morey needs to find another PG this summer. Even if Bev toughs it out, this is 2 straight seasons the dude has gone down with an injury that at the very least limits his effectiveness just as the postseason is about to begin. We need someone we can rely on to play 70+ games.
Harden is already the point guard so I'd like to see if KJ McDaniels can provide something for us at the other guard position. He was having a solid year before we traded for him.
GG. This is like when we lost Rafer prior to the series against the Jazz. Hope the impact isn't as huge this time around. As long as neither Prigs or Terry turn into Luther Head we should be fine. Am worried about defense though...
I've been saying this for a long time but you all morey fanboys said I am stupid. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=262909
people really think this wont be bad? Bev defense may not be what is used to but between prigs and terry its better than both combined.
In the grand scheme of things, Bev is probably the least valuable starter. Still a tough blow if he is out for the season though.
