[Armchair Rockets GM] Roster Trimming and the 3rd PG

Why would west come here for minimum? I believe he will get more than that on open market.

 

If we can trim our roster down enough to add one FA, I suggest Tinsley should be our 3rd string PG. We have 2 young points, and need a vet to mentor them. It is also ludacris to think that a young player (like West) would sign with us for the minimum (which is probably all we have left).

Jamaal Tinsley for 3rd string PG.

 

No love for the upside of Ishmael Smith?

 

As per my above post, my opinion wis that a suitable 3rd stringer should be a vet because our existing PG's are stilll very young and have a lot to learn. I have no idea if anyone would agree with me on this, but I'd prefer a proven vet over upside at a position that we will rarely used. At least a vet can be off the court and still provide input.

 

The problem is most vets won't be happy being the third string point guard.

 

Is it too late to say David Andersen? :grin:
