    Well obviously we can see the regression of the team when lin goes out and toney douglas comes in as much as you guys hate on lin his +/- is pretty good and we are a good team when hes in but toney douglas is terrible , some teams that have two good point guards often times play them together lawson/miller . Who do you guys think is a legitimate backup pg that is obtainable , honestly i think we should get delonte west he can shoot , great defender and a good pg maybe has some issues but that can be fixed , him and royce white can go to therapy together :grin: , any other suggestions?

    I checked my local Home Depot, but I couldn't find Delonte to ask him what he thought about this. *shrug*

    Nope. Delonte is a locker room poison pill. See:Cleveland and Dallas. Those are the kind of issues you don't want...

    Who knows if he'd even become a locker room cancer here. If were talking about basketball ability he's great at defending point guards, fierce, and a solid all around player. I'd take him over TD any day.

    The Rockets and 28 other teams, too. Meanwhile, the Clippers have had nothing but praise for Bledsoe and almost didn't even trade for Chris Paul if it meant having to give him up. They're very high on him and aren't letting him go.

    You'll have to just admire from afar.

    Machado is going to be our backup PG. Who knows he might even be the starter, and then Lin would be the backup. We are not in win now mode anyway, so I'm not worried about it.

    I have dogged out every jackass who tossed this idea around, and, in my opinion, rightfully so. However, I HATE Toney Douglas so much that it's starting to sound better and better.

    Machado

    got that Rockets isnt a team to PG like him, Goran , Lowry and even Lin (playmakers).

    Looks at his tweets and last interviews on D-League,

    he is looking for others teams already...
