    1. Ty Lawson. Can be had for: TJ, K-Papa, Prigioni (non-guaranteed), Dorsey, Nick Johnson, cash, pick. First tier PG, good fit offensively, questions on defense and attitude.
    2. D.J. Augustin. Can be had for: Prigioni (non-guaranteed), Nick Johnson, cash. Used to be top prospect, never fully developed, never found a team to call his own. Late bloomer potential?
    3. O.J. Mayo. Can be had for: K-Papa, Dorsey. Not truly a PG, but major talent, has good handles, can create offense, good defender. Lack of professionalism, may be Beasley-ing his way out of the league? However, good risk at low price in a contract year to maybe get it together.

    Those are our best available options, IMO

    Agreed. They really need his defense in the backcourt next to Monta, otherwise Monta is going to get abused.

    curious, do you work in three different front offices around the league. How do you know what those guys can be had for? Wait, you don't.

    Awesome how he just throws around the names and acts like it's a given. Guess we found Daryl Murray's CF account.

    Sorry for misunderstanding. Those were meant as salary matches and speculation on team needs + market conditions. All three are being actively shopped and would not get more in return, that I can guarantee. The salary relief of Kpapa and Prigioni contracts are very attractive, especially to OKc and Mil... TJ+pick is the best Lawson would bring in this market, in addition to the salary relief...

    Mil just salary dumbed three vets. It doesn't have any need to salary dumb Mayo anymore. Also he is nothing like Beasley, he doesn't do drugs.

    Did I read correctly on the bottom of NBA TV news caption that Deron Williams was waived or bought out? If so I could easily see the patient Morey swoop in and try and sign him. He would be a complete steal.

    What about Donald Sloan... if we don't get Lawson what is the thoughts on this point guard. To me this is a Daryl Morey type sleeper pick up.
