    Are we really planning on having McCollum be our ONLY backup PG? Nolan Smith had more experience playing PG. Our STARTING PG was more productive (and comfortable) playing off the ball last year.

    I was really hoping we'd sign Shaun Livingston, but:

    Maybe there's a Patrick Beverley out there?

    I'd really like to go after hinrich. He seems a little expensive though. There's also Gibbs

    That's not a bad idea, but I don't know how well he can distribute.

    Telfair's going to NY. Besides: who wants to be reminded we passed on Chris Paul and Deron Williams?

    Telfair has gotten better. Inconsistent because of his minutes, but I have seen games where he looked pretty decent.

    Now that the Warriors let JJ go, we need to compete with them for a back up PG as well.

    I still think Beno is an option

    Brooks is available too, but I don't like his ball hogging and lack of d

    No because he's actually fine with being third string and capable of running an offense. The trade would give us another 3 mil to offer another player.

    Until I actually see CJ play PG I really think we need a 2nd string PG not a 3rd string. CJ needs to come off the bench as a SG. He will also be our emergency back up 3rd PG when an injury occurs.

    I guess we will know more in 2 weeks, but as far as I can tell none of us has ever seen him play PG. Or am I off base on this?

    Until that time, I think patty can play a back up role. I think cj will come in soon though

    Am I the only one who believes that CJ will eventually be our starting SG?

    As far as backup PG's go I'd look at Bo McCalebb or Milos Teodosic.

    There are plenty of vets available at PG with the remaining cap space who will take it.

    Why don't we at least wait until after the summer league? I want to see what CJ can do before we worry about a backup point guard. It's very possible that CJ could log minutes at both spots. He's definitely smart enough to run the point.
