2013 Free Agents - 16-18 available

I wonder, if Hickson is in the current plans to re-sign, if it makes more sense for us to make a trade now that would take away the rest of our remaining cap space, and have the MLE to work with instead. Basically, thinking that Hickson likely gets something close, I would think, to 6-7 a year? Maybe more, but I doubt less. So if we were willing to pay him 7, it would loeave us a little less than 6 in cap space to use. I'd just as soon use up that cap space before free agency in a trade, and then have 5 to use in the form of the MLE.

 

The problem is none of our current back-up PGs know how to play defense OR offense. At least with Calderon, we'd be 50% better on the second unit than we are today. And, lets face it, with a bench that averages a historically bad 12ppg combined, we could use someone coming off the bench that could generate a little scoring to keep us close while our starters get their 4 minutes of rest per half.

We're not getting him. A decent backup PG isn't worth more then 4 mil and he'll demand more than that. JJ probably is our best bet at PG.

 

With both Hickson and Jack being in this thread, calling either JJ just confuses things.
