    I never would have suggested this a year ago... or even 6 months ago.... but I was very impressed with this kid in our series. He plays good defense, he can shoot, he can drive... I wouldn't mind bringing him in as the backup point guard.

    He's a free agent... not sure what his market is, but I haven't really heard any rumors about him.

    You're crazy.

    Seriously though, not a terrible Plan H.

    By the time we get to Plan H, we will need some Preparation H beforehand.

    If you want serious answer, I think he stays at LAC to get coddled more OR goes to a place where he can compete for a starting job (not saying one will be handed to him but somewhere like CHI or MIL he would have a decent shot).

    Doc went out of his way to trade for his son when no one else wanted him. Unless Doc wanted him to go, I can't believe he would leave at this point.

    If we lose Crabbe I wouldn't mind taking a look at him.

    Dame, Moe, Meyers already on the team.

    Barnes and Rivers now potential targets.

    I know the 2012 draft class was considered historically deep, but man, we don't have to sign them all.

    If we lost Crabbe I would look at Evan Turner.

    Rivers isn't quite the bust of the draft like I thought he would be...But he's not great.

    Mason was 2013, Miles was 2012. That's why Mason's a RFA next year for us, not this year.

    I guess unless you're saying we need to go after Miles, then ignore what I just wrote.

    Maybe my least favorite player in the NBA behind Bayless. I'll pass.

    Shoot first, take the ball to the hoop and get your shit swatted-type PG's just aren't my cup of tea, Wook.

    Plus he was a cocky dickhead while he was in Portland.

    I totally agree, great under the radar signing... His defense in playoffs was great and we need a perimeter defender bad...

    Cocky, no doubt. Care to share an anecdote that illustrates "dickhead?" Not arguing, just curious...

    No anecdotes, I just came across him a few times and he wasn't a very nice guy. He's a sub-average NBA player who thinks he's better than he is. I wouldn't be surprised if when he was in Portland he thought he was the best player on the team.

    There's generally a reason in pro sports that a guy plays for 6 teams in 7 years. Its usually because they are a less than savory locker room guy.
