Your PG situation 

Post#1 » by HeatHead » Fri Jan 29, 2010 1:41 pm

Wondering how you guys feel about your current position at the PG...satisfied with foye? who i see as a sg trying to fill a pg's shoes, or do you think that the returning Mike James can fill the void. James was a great contributing PG in Miami and would love to see him getting some minutes again.

That was almost 10 years ago. Mike James is not a long-term or short-term solution at PG, unless the goal is total tanking to get a better shot at John Wall.

God help you if you're considering him for your fantasy team.

if not, we're more than welcome to trade considerations. I'll swap James for Rafer Alson in a heartbeat.

It would be astonishing if Mike James gets more than emergency minutes. Foye and Boykins will consume the PG minutes.

James isn't any good anymore. He hasn't been even arguably average since 2007. He should be very grateful to Kevin McHale for giving him the contract he's finishing up this season.

That deal won't work anymore. Alston is signed on a minimum deal in Miami.

Washington is wasting the opportunity to develop Randy Foye. you'd think the team's young star who brandon roy was traded for, would be getting all the minutes and opportunities with G.Arenas out. Foye played great for a week or two until the team scaled back his minutes and now appear to be giving his playing time to E.Boykins.
