:dontknow: not sure, but if the Nets currently posting the best offense in the league is any indication, the team seems to be compensating for their loss quite well - potentially due to their depth at the guard position :roll:


PG was our deepest position. I mean most people dont have a former #2 overall pick potential stud they can slide to PG. dinwiddie is a great backup and whitehead as third string is more then adequate

last year our PG rotation was an oft-injured Lin, dinwiddie and a rookie whitehead

now its a better, healthier player in russell, and dinwiddie and whitehead with more experience


Whitehead's not a point guard he's better off the ball scoring. Kenny's experiment to turn him into a pg failed he was thrown into the fire to run the point last year but by the end of the season it was obvious he wasn't.


Kennys experiment was a massive success and whitehead improved leaps and bounds being allowed to play through those struggles. he is as good/better then any 3rd string PG you will find. and dinwiddie is probably top 10-12 among backup PGs

PG is easily our deepest position.. and our best player is our starting PG.

Who do you think gets the 3rd string point gaurd reps? someone we call up from the Dleague? :lol:

its not like your 3rd PG even plays much. Russell and Dinwiddie will likely combine to play 48 PG minutes most nights

so is kilpatrick. because 3rd string PG as i mentioned isnt someone who ever takes their warmup off. Kilpatrick was putrid and MUCH worse when he played PG last season.

but thats arguing over something irrelevant anyhow.

Russel is our starting PG and best player. Dinwiddie is an outstanding backup PG. its our deepest position

It doesn't make sense right? I mean they lost THEIR STARTING POINT GUARD but 1+1 doesn't equal 2 in your world.

If Marks does his thing they'll get an upgrade at a couple of positions.


This is why I trust Marks as our GM and not you. Whitehead,Russell, Dinwiddie and LeVert all capable of bringing the ball up. Not so much Whitehead. But he can help when reactivated. Our glaring weakness is not Point Guard!! It's where a 19 year old kid is showing the only sign of rim protection in his 15 mins per. But no your right tell me how need a another point guard. :crazy: :lol:


Fix one problem at a time... I doubt they make the playoffs anyway they'll be slaughtered by opposing team's centers all year.

The starting point guard on the floor crying out for the year should be reason enough for you.. We'll see who was right as the season goes on it's not even 5 games into the season yet.


The injury to Lin, whilst never a good thing and I wish him all the best in his recovery, has become a sliding doors moment for management. which way they go is anyone's guess. I personally believe they should be looking for someone over 6'10. Can it be done in a trade with booker, skill and the dpe? There are pro's and cons that I don't have time to go into right now. But No matter what happens I full faith in Marks to do his research and find a player we need.

I like booker now that he is logging alot of time at center. but i agree if we can get another rim protecting big to compliment allen that we have more value then a 3rd string PG upgrade from whitehead.

What about Alex Zen from Phoenix? He makes less than 6.1 million (the DPE) and is a center...

I'm not familiar with him just going by stats he'll give you 7rpg, Zeller is 2.4 for his career :o don't know if he's much good protecting the rim but going by stats again he's better than Zeller.

The Blazers waived Ezeli before he even played a game for them because of his knees but if the doctor says he's ok sign him up they need all the talent they can get leave no stone unturned.
