Another idea w/o trades

Depends mainly on Danny talking both PJ and Jason Williams out of retirement.

-Sign both of them.
-Sam Cassell gets 'promoted' to assistant coach.
-Bill Walker or JR Giddens come up from D League.
-Waive Davis or O'Bryant-- prefer to keep POB for potential but either one.

Why?

Obviously PJ was a key vet last year. If he's kept in shape he should be able to round into game shape for 10min a game in the playoffs.

Williams didn't really seem done to me. Am I missing something here? Thought maybe he just didn't want to play for Clippers. Do they still have his rights if he comes back? Anyway, he can run the offense and shoot the three. Maybe not as good as House on defense, but we need the ball handling and distribution.

I'd like to have a chance to see what Bill Walker would do back with the team. He could really get some fine alley-oops from JWill. Plus, there isn't anyone on our bench this year who seems willing to knock someone on his ass and then stand over them and gloat. Posey brought that, and like him or not that is a key role in giving our bench some GONADS. I can hardly watch the 'dear-in-headlights' bench we've got this year. There have been some pathetic showings this year. Maybe Walker would not be able to pull it off because he's a rook and the refs won't respect him, but at least it gets the opponent thinking they won't walk all over our second unit.

So we'd get some vet PG ability that is not 40 yr-old Cassell or clinical Marbury, length in PJ, and backup 2/3 with some toughness in Walker.

Again, big if that both these guys come out of retirement, but if I was Danny I'd be inquiring about JWill too.

idk but maybe JWill could keep the flow of the game going when Rondo is out.

It is time for POB and Pruitt to get some playing time. Pruitt has shown he can contribute, but just needs the time on the court to prove it. POB can play defense and block some shots, and does have some offense to offer, but like Pruitt, needs time on the court. POB has proven while on the floor that he can alter play in the paint with his length.

Just saw the wiretap on PJ retiring-- prolly for good. Back to the drawing board.
