Jason Hart 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Wed Aug 12, 2009 2:00 am

Jason Hart is receiving interest from the Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks, and Denver Nuggets.

Hart's agent, Bill Neff, told RealGM's Alex Kennedy that each team has had preliminary talks regarding Hart.

Hart has averaged 4.8 points and 2.3 assists per game over the course of his career and will be entering his ninth season. http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wireta ... ree_teams/

Correct, we don't. I wonder how there could be any truth to this. Doesn't make sense.

Backup PG is a touchy situation for us. I'm sure some people in the organization are hesitant to play with only Teague behind Bibby (although Crawford and Joe can both handle some PG duties). On the other side of the coin is not tying up a roster spot for a 3rd PG when we have such glaring needs on the front line. The other drawback is that too good of a backup will possibly hurt Teague's development (given Woodson's past tendencies), but a total scrub would be a waste of time (and money and roster spot). Given the dollar amount that we are likely to invest (minimum) we aren't likely to get much. I'd rather leave a roster spot open with flexibility to react to an injury rather than commit to someone like Hart now.

We are in the dead period of summer right now so any conversation likely generates some Internet fodder regardless of the level of seriousness or lack thereof.

Matt Barnes would have been a better result than to bring in a PG that has been around 9 years. Kind of sounds like a Royal Ivey opportunity here. Someone to fill a roster slot more than someone to come in and be a difference maker.

Ummm...okay. We're talking about someone who would be playing behind JJ, Marvin, Bibby, Teague, Crawford, and Evans. How is that person supposed to be a difference maker?

You need a 3rd PG in the NBA because it's the hardest position to replace in a tight spot.

I'm fine with our frontcourt depth. Our biggest concern should be our lack of interior presence.

Just so we are on the same page:
Frontcourt = C, PF, SF (includes interior)
Backcourt = PG, SG
and with some overlap: Wings = SG, SF
