Are we making another move for a PG or what?

"[mumble]We are looking at what's out there but it has to fit with the team. I like our team.[/mumble]"


In seriousness, I am sure he has a good idea of what he wants. Just because you dont see stories about Otis looking for a 3rd PG does not mean he is not looking for one or does not have a plan in place.

Saw Otis this morning on a treadmill at RDV. He was wearing Magic gear, the same stuff you see the players in.

You haven't figured it out? SInce moving Rashard to the PF SEEMED to work we are now fully committed to utilizing another player out of postion. In order for him to get minutess JJ will be coming off the bench to play point. :lol:

I just see us getting a cheap and cheerful third stringer, a Kruger type. Its just a back up for the back up so its not like we need a huge talent there ... right now.

This is for 3rd string PG's that will be inactive most of the time, relax. Both are good options in my opinion with NBA experience.

Could do worse, could do better.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
