    With talk of Damon Stoudamire possibly being bought out of his contract, how would you feel if the Pistons decided to make a run for him?

    I think it would be worth while exploring, we dont really have a backup PG per say, and Damon can score and dish the ball. My only concern would be over the amount of time he has missed due to injury, although really, its a better option than the backup PG we currentley dont have. If we could pick him up for the Vet minimum, then I say go for it.

    I'd rather start letting the kids play I.E. Stucky

    I think he'll get/ask more than the Vet's Min. And you guys still have Flip Murray.

    He's a specialist PG though, somthing we're also in desperate need of. Right now we have 2 backup shooting guards posing as backup pointguards (Stuckey & Murray)

    Stoudamire would be a good leader, but with his injury problems it's unlikely he'll play more than 70 games. His size is also a concern, since Chauncey Billups is so much bigger at the 1 that when he comes out of the game and Stoudamire goes in, the opposing PG will immediately go from having a disadvantage size-wise to an advantage.
