First of all, who starts at PG?? We got 2 scoring PG's, probably 3 since Aaron Brooks was more of a scorer in school. Rafer Alston and JL3 are as good as gone, and I know we can get some kind of multi-dimensional player(one who could play thee 3 and 4 effectively) for one of them or even both. A Josh Smith type comes to mind but I can't think of anyone in that area off the top of my head. Who could we get? What about Luther Head?? His disappearing act in the playoffs isn't giving anyone of the new coaches confidence. Look what happened to Juwan. I don't wanna trade him, but there's no doubt that something valuable can come from him. Since we're so stacked, maybe Ron Artest comes to mind. The Kings have Bibby on the block, and would need a PG. We have more than enough of them to offer. Artest and Battier could more than make up for Steve Francis, Mike James, Bonzi, and Snyder's defensive deficiencies/lapses/brain farts. A pure shot-blocker would also be nice(Dalembert if that A-hole GM in Philly didnt overpay)
I would start SF3 at the point guard. He has never been a great bench player nor shooting guard.... Give Mike James a "Bobby Jackson" role.
c Camby would be really nice addition as a shot blocker and backup to Yao, if yao gets hurt we have Camby and Butler. Let Deke walk! i'm not sure if Denver would go for our combination of Rafer,Luther and salary relief of Suras contract.

I would have to start Steve at the point. I am anxious to see Steve recieving passes from Yao Ming as he finishes with a high flying dunk with a and 1. IMO the Adelman offense does not use nor want a pass first point guard...it wants a point guard with a scorer mentality. Bibby's assists dropped drastically from his years in Vancouver when he was traded to Sac. Why? Because he was no longer called upon to be the primary distributor.
