    I would bring back Flynn. He was an okay change of pace last season.

    Two words. Taurean. Green. He's worth at least four victories.

    Is Ishmael Smith on a team right now? I'd prefer him over Flynn.

    My buddy Lance is available. He's 37 and he's pretty good.

    1) Let's ignore the fact that Delonte never truly played PG on any of his teams, for the most part. Lebron, kinda did with the celtics, and sorta did with the mavs (used him similar to Jet), and he never really had the minutes or scoring opportunities Brooks had.

    2) Now, lets see the turnover per 48 ratio...I'm guessing they are fairly similar, yet Delonte is a much better defender and played SG as well as PG and dished out just as well as Brooks.

    I'd say someone who won't mind playing no more than 20 minutes off the bench and has the skills to mentor Lillard, who should be our starter from day one.

    So he's a better passer than Aaron Brooks, but no coach has figured out how to bring that out in him?

    LOL

    He didn't "dish out" as well as Brooks though. He never has as an NBA player.

    I'm not even sure West can be a primary ballhandler, actually.

    If you don't like Brooks, fine, but every statistic about your opinion on West being a better distributor than Brooks is contradicted by stats that are not that hard to find.

    Brooks or Mayo would be fine. Either direction you go, Bring them with the understanding that they will be coming off the bench in substitution for either the point for two guard.

    Too busy to look up stats, but at any rate - he has a higher A/TO ratio, does he not? Coming from a 1/2 combo guard, yes?

    Even so, he may be a slightly worse facilitator, but a much stronger defender.

    I keep thinking it is going to be Randy Foye, Olshey a history with him, he is one of the better guards out there that I can see....There was some mention of Derek Fisher....I would be surprised if he ended up in POR though...

    With Roy playing for Minnesota it would have some nice synergy

    Foye isn't a PG, though.

    We still have enough cap for a lopsided trade, yes?

    Would about Greivis Vasquez? he was very solid last year and can legitimately play both PG/SG. With Gordon/Rivers locked in, it's worth a shot.

    Is Dell Demps really going to trade the only real point guard on his roster? Who do we send back that would interest him (and Monty?)
