I say fuck it. Play lillard 48 minutes and live with the consequences. Not really, but I don't see any real good options. I think no matter who it is lillard is going to get most of the minutes. Point guard by committee, play Leonard there.
I'd be OK with that. He's not horrible (or at least he's been less horrible since he got out of LA) and at this point in his career I'm guessing he's probably accepted the journeyman/backup label.
I'd really like to get Mike Bibby to mentor Lillard. If he isn't available, isn't Keyon Dooling still a free agent? He has been somewhat underrated throughout his career.
To say that he has declined is putting it nicely. I still say that if we go this rout we should look at Fisher.
