    No, I don't think we will miss him. But I do agree with the fact that we need some veteran leadership ... maybe Sam Cassel can back-up the PG position?

    A third PG wouldn't hurt and the Kings released him anyway ... :rolleyes:

    No we are not, the team is better with Brooks and Lowry.

    I think if we can work Lowry into the lineup and build chemistry, we will be ok.

    Assuming we make the playoffs, Lowry's penetration play will be beneficial. He isn't afraid to attack the basket and create contact for the foul. We will need that style of play come playoff time.

    Let's hope it works.

    Brent ran the fast break / transition far better than Alston, so I am not as skeptical as you. Also, Barry has, by far, the best 3-point shot when compared to Alston, Lowry and even Brooks.

    Now that Alston is gone, Battier and Hayes are the last of the sloths for whom Morey needs to find new homes in the off season. We have to suffer another season with T-Mc's theatrics to lop his $23 million contract off our books.

    agreed, fans will be pissed off at how many turnovers both Aaron and kyle will make in the playoffs. It would be like Steve francis only worse. Some would even lead to fastbreaks and cost us the game.
