The Mavericks will add a veteran point guard to backup Steve Nash. They have 3 players in the race, Travis Best, Kenny Anderson, & Rod Stickland. Travis Best is the front-runner, but he is being pursued by teams who can offer him more.
Those 3 would be great fits to back-up Nash at PG..Best is a good back-up guard..can push the ball and find his team-mates well...Kenny Anderson is the same..

Best and Anderson are shoot first PG's? since when? They have always been known as guards who feed their team-mates the ball and push when they can...true point guards.

I've never seen anderson and best score well....they are PG's....I don't see how they aren't true PG's..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">I've never seen anderson and best score well....they are PG's....I don't see how they aren't true PG's..</div> they r not good distributers. anderson may not score too much but Best can score at will.
The most PPG through a season Best has ever scored is 11PPG...Both may not get really high assists but that doesn't mean they aren't true point guards..Infact earler in his career Kenny Anderson was averaging 8 and 9 asissts a game..he is a true PG

Kenny is older now..he is an NBA vet...but He is still good enough to be a good back-up PG for most teams...Barkley just got fat and is MUCH older than anderson

Umm...if i would have to pick one it would be Kenny! I good scorer as well a passer. I vet. is the best to bring in to handle such a high octaine offense like that! I know this doesn't matter but I HATE STEVE NASH!!
According to the Dallas Morning News it looks like Best is the frontrunner as shape has pointed out: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/da...lede.b1ab6.html I think Best would become and excellent back-up for the Mavericks. He has experience and he wont be asked to score alot for them. This would be a great move if the Mavs can sign him so they can fill up their backup point guard postion void.
