Possible PG's Avaialble if Boom Leaves

I take Kirk Hinrich of the Bulls. That will loosen the pain of BD probably leaving.

why no one is talking about beno. i’ve seen about half the kings’ games from last season, at least (free where i lived), and beno did a damn good job running the point. he plays well in important games, and buried two clutch free throws to beat the lakers in their own arena. he also has the size we need, and is strong as well. sacramento really values him, but not sure if they would break the bank to keep him. if we do sign him and let baron walk (right idea since beno is a willing passer (bd reluctant in that regard) and we’ve got a team full of scoring options), then we’ll have no cap worries also. beno is very professional, hardworking etc. he, like monta, is a guy that plays through getting paid 30 times less than baron, and does not complain for a huge extension or for any reason actually, but realizes his opportunity and tries to be a valuable asset for his team, and to put the players around him in a position to score. baron is a cancer, and does NOT make his teammates better, though it appeared that way since he is for some insane reason the only pg mullin has on his team.

Billups, despite being old, is the only PG I’d trust to take over for Baron. This team needs a good, confident floor general if we lose Baron.

also, about those other guys. crittenton couldn’t get reliable pt on the (now) worst team in the league, gordon is definetly NOT a pg, hinrich is grossly overpaid for his skillset at 10m per, chauncey is old, aaron is too small, we probably won’t be prying away any lottery pgs of this year’s draft, beno is one of the bright spots on a mediocre team that was decimated by injuries. someone tell mullin this, i have a feeling he works all day and yet seems to accomplish nothing. this will be the best, easiest signing of the summer. 6m per, and we have a great pg, a teamplayer for the next 4 seasons.

Then I would look for a Tim Thomas, Eric Gordon, Future 1st rounder(s) for BD.

I’m too lazy to see if it’d work, but that’s what i’m hoping Mullin gets out of this theoretical trade. Thomas + picks is simply not enough. I’m sure there is a moratorium on recent draftees being traded. I’m not sure how long that is though.

Baron Davis

for

Tim Thomas, Eric Gordon, 08’ 1st, 10’ 1st.

Sign Shaun Livingston to a 2 year guaranteed contract for $3.5M each, with a player option for his 3rd at a fair, $5.5M (Basically his QO this year, had he gotten it).

That the Warriors are offering Gilbert Arenas 5 years at $100M.

Check Janny Hu to get details.

sorry, but 4 stars for Ben Gordon??? He’s not a point guard at all. He’s an undersized 2 with a streaky jump shot. DO NOT take Gordon.

the gilbert thing would be a pretty good idea, but i don’t know if he has the health to run this sort of team. the cancer comment wasn’t explained. we played better with him benched actually in that telling phoenix game, but nellie had some idea that jackson should be guarding amare. i do think the team plays less selfish ball when baron is not on the floor, and he’s got a serious attitude problem in any case.

and yes, the spurs did choose vaughn. i can’t tell you why popovich wouldn’t play beno, but he had a pretty good game against them this year. the spurs aren’t infallible, they also gave scola away for beans (yet traded for kurt thomas, who cares if it was expiring), wouldn’t bench horry when he wasn’t productive, and for some reason think a bench should be filled with 34-37 yr old men. they’ve had success, but aren’t infallible. timmy d/parker make the difference.
