http://bkref.com/tiny/hvy8V I'm a little shocked by the per game averages. But really, this is why I want to keep Andre; he seems to have the will and the way to stay exceptionally useful for a long time.
No rookie PG's! For this team to be a contender down the road I think you have to look at a young vet who can step in right away.
Man, I LOVE Derron Williams, the total package. He will NOT re-sign in Utah, I would love to get him.
If they were in a different division, I think we'd be serious contenders. Given our history with the Jizz (their fans HATE us), there would be a lot of collateral damage for the Utah ownership if they dealt with us.
Sergio naturally, Kyle Lowery, Luke Ridnour, Kirk Hinrich. I left out most top guys like Paul or Williams because I don't want to see us trade anyone out of our 6-8 guys who have been playing so well together right now. I'd like to see us build on that. I'd make available for trade Roy, Oden, Joel, Camby, Babbitt, Marks, and a blank check from PA.
I like Kyle Lowry actually. Solid offense. Solid defense. He's also got a jumpshot. I don't think theres a realistic homerun at PG.
I'd rather not do Harris because he's already 29, which doesn't give him that much more of a window with us than Miller has. In fact, I think Miller is a better option simply because Miller's game isn't predicated on athleticism. Harris has always been an athletic guy, and I'm not sure how his game will adapt when that athleticism leaves him. Miller just keeps trucking. I like adding someone like Lowrey, Sessions, or maybe even Flynn. I like the idea of taking a risk on someone like Sessions or Flynn, having them back up Miller for a couple years, and then handing over the reigns.
I'd rather keep Miller for the next 3 years (assuming there is no drop in his game which seems suited to play deep into his 30's and maybe early 40's) and hope Armon Johnson develops a jump shot and a little better court vision. The guy is a GREAT defender and has nice size and length for a PG but he makes Rondo look like Reggie Miller. I just don't see a PG that we can realistically get that is gonna be an upgrade over miller in the next few years. I'd like to take our chances and hope Oden is healthy next year and see what we can do with him and LMA in the front court. Roys contract is gonna screw us the next few years so we might as well keep taking a chance on Oden because who else can we get that has anywhere near the potential to be a star like Oden?
He's going to measure out big for point. He's a converted SG. I'm anxious to see his times, he seems a little slow.
He'll probably measure out at about 6'1" or 6'2". I think his NBA career will take the path of DeMarcus Nelson.
Keep Miller for 2 or 3 years (unless we can get a true allstar pg) and see what other opportunities come up or develop. Why is no one discussing Elliot Williams? I know he had knee surgery, I had not heard that it was career ending. I think people like Harris due to a grass is always greener type approach. People rip Batum due to his inconsistent play, go look at harris's game log, he obviously decides to take some games off.
I think Williams is generally thought of as more of an SG, not having developed "enough" PG skills. No doubt he has athleticism and seems very intelligent and well spoken, he "might" be a darkhorse candidate but it would take a few yrs.
