    quality offensive running PG? like who? we needed an all-star. he was our best player in the playoffs last year, and without him, we may have been a first round exit. the wolves could have easily beat us, the jazz too. we almost beat the warriors....who were we going to get instead? notice how he sets up eric gordon perfect on those 3s? its because the defense has to respect his midrange and driving ability, even against a good interior defense like the spurs...so who were we going to get instead? we needed an all-star.

    It's easier for a player to give up money if the team he's doing it for has a large bandwagon. Larger the bandwagon the better the whistle come playoff time. Larger the bandwagon the more marketable a player is and they can make that money up more easily outside of basketball. Les knew we had to build up that Chinese bandwagon to truly get an edge in this league.

    Do you need me to go down the list mid level true PG's? Believe it or not they exist. Not sure if you completely read my post, but that is ok.

    Well, if you ignore Harris and Gallinari, then it's Trez and Lou carrying them. That's a 12 deep team with multiple close but not quite All-Star players

    He can only take what is offered to him. He did his job and took care of his family just like most would. He is not in charge of the team or anything other than himself and his family’s well being. It’s not his fault that got all he could => that is what he and his agent are supposed to do. He is a player not the GM.
