I agree with you, those lineup all suck. Simply too small. Marbury has the best size and we had trouble last year with him and house on the defensive end.

Uh that is why it is going to be Daniels + House and we are looking for a 3rd pg.

But if Danny isn't able to find what he wants during this offseason, what's the harm waiting until the trade deadline approaches to fill the slot?


The harm is that there's little time for a guy to fit in, which seems to be more of a consideration at PG than elsewhere.

I'm in totally opposition to re-signing Marbury.

House is very, very effective with another player who can bring the ball up.

Marquis can bring the ball up, and do something Marbury's hardly ever been able to do: Cover opposing PGs.

I'm looking forward to signing Daniels; I think the combo of House/Daniels will be just fine off the bench to cover guard duties. I don't think we need a primary "pure" PG off the bench, just some players that can bring the ball up and effectively score and defend.
