well i wouldnt mind felton and we can keep our pick

I wouldn't mind Ray Felton if he came pretty cheap, 4 yrs $22 million final year team option or ungarantteed!

Meh. Indiana needs a starting-caliber pg. Felton is marginal at best for filling that spot.

Ya! Getting Felton is not great but is not a bad idea. If we could keep #10, that would be nice!

Well you know everyone thought Jack was a shoot'em up and play defense with marginal results kinda player when he was with the Blazers. Then he got traded to Indiana and look what happened.

He also didn't have a new contract which could have hurt his stat line as well.

Felton is a reliable backup PG. The question is what is the VALUE of a good backup. We were paying Earl Watson about $3M; we did not want to pay Jack $5M.............. so what is Felton worth??

We still would need a future quality starting PG. Other trades/deals would have to develop. The #10 is too early for this draft class of PG's and #40 is too late and is a LONG shot. Price is our 3rd PG and could give backup minutes if he returns healthy.
