    BTW, in this alternate universe, this Wes Matthews--who people are hawking as a top ten SG--would be our backup to B-Roy, playing 15 mpg.

    Damn.

    Mathews could also be a SF on the right team.

    Roy could play PG for 10 mins and Matthews would play SF for 10 mins so minutes wouldn't be an issue at all.

    I think we will see games when we have a small ball line-up of Lillard, CJ, Matthews, Claver or T. Rob and Aldridge.

    BTW, what is the Pat Stacks incident?

    I don't think he was making that statement as though it would have been a problem. More like, "How good would we be if we had both the best SG in the game, and one of the top-10 SG's as his backup?"

    That's exactly what I was trying to say. Repped for translation services!

    Wes is definitely a top 10 all around off guard. Mostly because the position sucks.

    After Harden, Wade, and Kobe it's a free for all but he is definitely in the top 1/3 of the NBA.

    I can't find the video, but this is Pat Stacks.

    He's quite the 3+D player this season.

    I wonder if we could trade Matthews for any of Henderson, Dudley, Sefolosha or Lamb?

    that video was great. pat stacks was a great glue guy as well. funny how spurs always snag our glue guys. agreed on all counts. wes is a good glue guy, he improves every year. he's got a drive that is rare in people now a days, he's an excellent community guy, and i've always loved how he handles the media's stupid questions.

    if we are talking this season only and not just giving injured guys votes for past performance. i can only think harden would be ranked higher than wes right now...

    I think all of our starters are top-10 at their respective positions. And we have a pretty good bench! I know it's 11 games but I'm very encouraged about this team, and enjoying watching the games! We play a pretty entertaining style of basketball!
