If we re-sign Bibby, does Teague play the Acie Law role???
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

Clevvv- ver!!! No, really, I'm dying, I'm laughing so hard, really.
Actually, I meant, "Would he be given the pitifully few minutes that Acie got?"

Re: How are we going to use Crawford?
I think there is a difference between "scoring point guard" and "combo guard". People used this argument last year when Iverson and Billups were traded for one another. All I heard was that Billups didn't have great court vision and wasn't really a pass 1st point guard anyway. I remember George Karl saying something about how there "bad shot" stat that they tracked every game went way down with Billups as opposed to Iverson. Now the trade off between Crawford's ability to get to the free throw line(which Bibby can't do)and occasional big scoring nights could offset it,but I expect our number of bad shots and turnovers will go up(like they were pre-Bibby) with a Crawford/Teague pg tandem. I'm not saying that playing two combo guards wouldn't work(because the Cavs won 66 games although Mo is more of a pg than Craw. imo)...but that wouldn't be my first option. I also don't want to re-sign Bibby to a multi year deal either though.
I think the best case scenario for me would be to try to get a one year rental at pg like Blake to play 25-30 minutes who has experience on playoff teams,won't turn the ball over,and can hit spot up threes. That way you can let Crawford be the 6th man and just mix and match him at either guard spot in different lineup combinations to finish the game off.
