    yeah for that you have to find a team that has a glut of pgs and not enough wings.
    Celtics? Nope too many wings, and only TWO ballhandlers/playmakers including Rozier.
    Suns? Already got interesting wings of their own.

    The only team I can think of is the Bulls for Grant.
    Who sucks but is worth a flyer.
    If u trade KJ you gonna get KJ quality players back.

    I love AB not because he was a former Rocket, but as a back up he has dribbling, speed, cout vision, and can shoot it very well for the price.

    Hate to say it but it's probably gonna be someone like K. Hinrich or Prigioni.

    Heavily distorted by the disproportionate amount of 3s he takes. If a player shoots nothing but 3s, and makes 38% of them, his FG% will be......38%.

    As I mentioned, he was average from 3 last year, and he's been very good around the rim for most of his career. Add his defensive tenacity, and I think he's a fit.

    You do realize Bev shot a career high 40% from 3 right? But you are right about his defense, it dropped off a little.

    If we trade for Ricky Rubio then we must be preparing a full tank

    They should be looking to trade for a young guy like Archie Bradley to be the backup PG.

    We all hope for the best talent possible, but the team is capped out and most decent players are signed. I don't think there really is an realistic starting PG options left for free agency.

    A trade maybe, but that relies on another team willing to make a deal.

    I would welcome Prigioni back with open arms! He did well as a back up point for us.

    Besides, you can't go wrong with Prig's & Pring's! :grin:

    I really like Rubio and think he could be a nice blend of available and attainable while providing an upgrade that would fit MDA offense. One thing I'm wondering is if we are even looking for a Rubio type player. MDA might envision Harden running the offense in which case Rubio is kind of useless. Maybe we are targeting another off guard who can play d and shoot.
