Future at PG

What do you think it would take to get Javaris Crittenton from Memphis if we don't end up drafting a pg(Rose, Mayo, Bayless) in the draft and end up getting a big (Jordan, Lopez)?

People on the Memphis board say he's more of a SG then a PG. The only way I could see us getting Crittenton from them is if we end up with #1 and trade down to #3 or 4. They desperately want Beasley, this would let us draft one of Mayo or Bayless to go with Crittenton.

I was hoping no one would notice, but since nbadraft.net has let the cat out of the bag, then I can say that Lester Hudson is the future Sonics pointguard.

Like a Jason Thompson, or Courtney Lee he has been under the radar because he plays at a lesser known college. But he's third in the nation in scoring, #1 in the nation at steals, and is the best rebounding guard in the country( I think). His assists are decent but not great because he is looked at to do the scoring for his team but from what I've gathered he's a good passer and plays the drive and kick game well.

At 6'3" and 205lbs. they say he's a Rodney Stuckey clone but I think he might be a Baron Davis type player.

He's projected as the Sonics pick with the Suns #1 selection by nbadraft. Because he started college a little late he is age 23 as a junior.

Seriously, I wouldn't say he is the future at PG for the Sonics, but he is an extremely intriguing player and may be worthy of the Suns pick. If Presti does go big with Lopez( who I do like and see him as a legit Andrew Bogut comparison), then a pointguard with the second pick could yield a decent pointguard. But I'd never go as far to say a starter is there in the low twenties.

I would be shocked if the Sonics passed on Rose, Bayless or Mayo if they have a chance at one of them. But if the Sonics do draft a big I'd much rather it be Brook Lopez than DeAndre Jordan.

The handful of games I've watched Lopez he seems to play D, block a lot of shots, and has some offensive game and plays with a pretty firey nature. But to be honest I mostly watched him against WSU and Aron Baynes isn't the quickest guy on the floor but the guy is a tank and Lopez did a solid job against him.

JOSE CALDERON!!!!! Jose is the best man for the job. I don't care if he's already 27 he'll be in his prime for another 6-7 years.

Love to have Calderon, but he's going to get a huge contract... chances are Toronto overpays him to keep him in town.

Not unless TJ Ford retires or they find a way to unload TJ Ford I guess Isiah is still in NY so unloading his contract is a possibility.

They have to resign Moon and Delfino too, they are in a tight spot.

Not really. Moon is under contract for one more year, and Delfino is expendable. Jose Calderon is a restricted free agent, which helps.

TJ Ford's contract is not even that bad. He is only due to receive 2 million more than either of Watson or Ridnour for the next 2 years.
