Got to use Biz's body. And did JR ever play for the Charlotte Hornets? I thought only New Orleans

thats a typo. it was supposed to be JR Reid. he has the lowest voice ever.

and good call on biz for the body instead of larry johnson.

If we couldn't get Sessions back this was my next choice.

I remember how this guy had his breakout game against us during his rookie year. Ever since then he's seemed like a decent back-up PG to me.

:D :D :nod: :nod: Good Decision as backup point..McConnell looks like he would be a nice choice for 3rd PG.
Now with Cap space left we need one more piece other than Stephenson.

Very solid pickup for us. I remember watching this guy destroy us last year. He couldn't miss.

It's just that the truth may come out that way sometimes

I completely agree - curious to see who we get.

Am I crazy for wanting Rivers if the Pelicans waive him?

I currently want Seth Curry. I wouldn't be opposed to Austin Rivers, but then we'd be Pelicans craved as much as we are enamored with Jazz players

Also, UConn bias aside, I wouldn't mind A.J. Price as the 3rd string PG. I actually think he 'could' be better than Brian Roberts

I just don't think Seth has the PG skills to get it done. I wouldn't mind giving him a shot though, he would be valuable just for his shot and driving ability.

I don't care about appearing to poach from one team or another, I just want players that can get the job done. Austin is only 21, and post-All Star break last season he put up a line of 10 ppg on 43% FG and 37% 3PT, 2.5 rpg and 3.2 apg in just 25 mpg. He also had a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. I think he still can be an impact player.
