    Forston, Machado, or do we go point-forward with Forbes or Livingston?
    Personally, I like Machado. Dude is reckless but he reminds me a LOT of Kyle Lowry. He has no jumpshot, but his passes are sick and he takes a lot of risks passing the ball like Lin does.
    Forston is trash and he looks too much for his own shot and whenever he does try to pass it, it gets deflected.

    If Machado failed to do anything, doesn't hurt to play royce white or even lamb.

    When I saw the question I was looking for his name on the poll and was shocked to not find it. Toney Douglas will be our backup point guard.

    No way to know the answer until after Lin/Asik/Howard deals are all dealt with. What if we get back Duhon in a Howard deal and have to waive Livingston and trade Douglas as part of the deal?

    I voted Fortson, because I forgot Douglas was on the team. Not a Fortson fan at all, but for the simply fact that they played him last year I figured we had no choice....

    But the true answer is Douglas

    I find it ironic that our pg rotation is n.y pg rotation from last season

    Douglas is still under contract right?

    I think we will have Machado on the roster though for insurance as well as because he does appear to have a knack for distribution even without that much of his own offensive skills.
