    Well, Neil seems to think that CJ should be the backup point guard. While in Neil I trust, I think CJ would be better served as strictly being a shooting guard. Vazquez would spell Dame and CJ would remain at the SG position.

    To answer your question completely, I think we need to see how it shakes out this season to determine who needs to be upgraded in the starting lineup.

    And to be fair Vazquez has also played a lot of backup SG. He can hit the open 3 in addition to dishing the rock.

    This is exactly why I like him as the backup.

    We might be better off resigning Meyers and Harkless and be done with it. If Henderson fits in well, we could resign him too, or look at a guard like Vasquez, but so many teams are going to have a ton of money to spend.

    Raymond Felton is a free agent. What do you guys think about him?

    Didn't last summer teach you guys anything? None of you know what direction or players Olshey will go. No one came close to coming up with the players he did this summer.

    It would be amazing if we could get Patty from the Spurs -- UFA in 2017. He would do well in Stotts' system. Unfortunately he's the PG of the future for the Spurs and I doubt they let him go.

    We could call Felton, Pillsbury.

    Pillsbury and the Doughboys!

    Hope not. He offered the max to Hibbert and Kanter, and I'm glad their teams matched.

    Sorry man, but useless thread. Other than for bumping around the trade deadline/all star break.

    Why? Because we still don't know what we really have. The guys are coming out of the gate hot and that's great, but we have guys on the injury wagon that are supposed to have high potential and they havent touched the court yet.
    There are just wayyy too many X factors to seriously try to pinpoint a free agent.... let alone the actual position(s) of need. Things are going to get crazy mid season with people making moves planning on having more money to spend.
    Free agency will be tough for us, but trades... I thin trades are where we improve the team and again... I don't want to trade anyone without a longer duration of evaluation. However coming up on the trade deadline, we should have a pretty good picture of who isnt cutting it and where we need the most help.

    With that said, I think your on the right track. We will be a playoff team next year if NO has the same trade/offseason this coming year that he did this last year.... and then the year after that we should be in contention again.
