Bayless looks good. He is still very young. I would be willing to move him, but not for Collison who is smaller and older. Bayless might be a fantastic third guard next year and I would not be surprised if he evolves into an awesome replacement for Miller alongside Roy. Ed O.
What do "smaller and older" matter if they also accompany "better"? Now, if you don't believe that Collison is better--or a better fit--then that's something else, but age and size should be irrelevent independent of ability to perform.
After watching tonight's final playoff performance, I came to a conclusion that both Rudy and Webster are not "half-court" offensive players - they both need a fast-paced, almost hectic style to spot up and hit their 3's. Nate's slow-it-down offense hurts our bench players! Both Rudy and Webster would excell on a New York Knicks team. And neither would on a Celtics team. With a healthy Oden, we'd have to run a slower-tempo, defense-first gameplan. So maybe we need to replace Webster and Rudy - throw in LMA and go get Chris Bosh. Bayless, while not a good ball handler needs to do nothing but work on improving his ball handling skills. At this time last year, we were saying that he could not hit the broad side of a barn from the outside. He's obviously worked on his outside shot and I think we saw vast improvement from a year ago. So let's hope he studies Steve Nash tape all summer and dribbles a ball with him all summer long.
Why the hell would you ship Bayless out. He's the only guy that has somewhat of a fire and heart on our team. He pretty much came to play the entire play off series this year... You have to give him more of a chance at the point guard role, much like Chauncey had. It's only his what 2nd or 3rd year?
