    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Coach Hubie Brown changed his 10-man rotation in favor of a firm nine that features a three-guard alignment. He used Mike Miller as the backup point guard so that Miller, Jason Williams and Bonzi Wells could log more than 30 minutes.

    The decision left Watson feeling ostracized and not a part of the team's future.

    "I've gone from being talented enough to start to not being talented enough to back up Jason," Watson said. "I just have to keep working until I do get put in a different situation, whether it's here or somewhere else. But looking at it, I don't know how long I'll be here."

    Hubie's constant roster moves frustrate the heck out of me. He does the same thing with the Center position. Stromile Swift, Lorenzen Wright, and Jake Tsakalidas have all started for a string of games and then were moved completely out of the rotation. One day Shane Battier will get twenty minutes and the next day he'll be starting. It's hard to keep track of, but I assume Hubie knows best.

    Maybe Watson will be traded. His value will certainly be high. He's one of the five best backup point guards in the league.

    This one is a head-scratcher. They played so well with Watson at the helm and now he not only returns to the bench, but gets put in the back of the bench...what a shame...he didn't deserve this

    If he gets traded, there will be a lot of suitors. I mean, what team doesn't want a defensive-minded, pass-first point.
