Now that our roster is shaping up nicely, there's one area left that I think needs work: backup PG. I think if we can get a guy like Kyle Lowry or Marcus Williams(Nets), we'd truly have depth at every position.
But of course, we'd have to be kinda creative in order to pull this off. Trading B. Knight plus a draft pick for one of them would be ideal, but I haven't looked at their salaries to make an educated proposal. I'm just saying, it would be awesome if this could happen. |

| Well, Brevin Knight is a good point guard as backup, he's a pass first point guard who can give Baron a break. Remember, Baron won't rest much, he usually commands the minutes in games... So Brevin is a perfect man to come off the bench, give a little hard nosed defense and pickpocketing as well as distributing the basketball. Mike Taylor is pretty good too... He had some crazy passes, he has alot of potential IN MY OPINION, I know a few of you might disagree but I like what I see so far. He just has to work on turnovers, and everyone knows that by now. |

| I agree...Knight is fine. I've also come to the conclusion that with the aquisition of Camby (who they will keep) they won't be resigning Q Ross. He is a liability on offense...on defense Cat and B Diddy can be very aggressive, if the player they guard passes them you have both Camby and Kaman to help....we are gonna be a sick defensive team....and on offense I really think Davis will bring out everyone's A game! |

Williams may be available since NJ is getting Dooling and they'll have 16 guys under contract. He'd be a quick young b/up to Baron. But I don't see how we'd acquire him for Knight (NJ would have zero interest).
But I agree w/ Insanity and Mashian that Brevin is fine as a 2nd PG. As long as he doesn't have to spend too much time as the 1st, like last year. Depends on Baron's health. |

| I think our focus needs to be on a back up big man. As of now, we have a decent back up PG in Brevin, and assuming we get Bookie we are decently deep at SF and SG... |

| ^^Bobby Brown has been doing well in the summer league. We already have Knight and Mike Taylor, and hopefully Livingston as well, so I don't think we need another point guard for now. |

| The bottom line is that we have 2, maybe 3 if you count Livinston, back up PG's. We are fine so long as they are backups. But if Baron goes down with injury for any significant lenght of time, I' don't think we can rely on any of those guys at this point to carry us in a fashion that gets us to the playoffs. There is a big drop off in talent after Baron Davis on the Clipper roster at PG. If Livie returned to form that would be our best hope. It just a very big IF. |

He just needs to learn to settle down that's all.
We have 3 PG's under contract. We don't need fourth...I know we're not looking into bringing in another PG and if we were, it would be Livingston. but if he gets ANY other offer, I'd bet my life he'd take it over us. |

Well that's like saying if Kobe or LeBron goes down with injury how can those teams rely on the backups.... Yeah there's a big drop in talent, but most other teams are in that situation too. |

I agree- I was pretty impressed by Taylor's speed and quickness, and he's pretty solid defensively as well. So yeah he just need to learn to make better decisions, and the summer league was a perfect forum for him to work on that.
Hopefully Livi will stay loyal and come back to us! |

Exactly. That's why their allstar players, just as Davis is. No one really has a back-up to handle the loss of an allstar caliber player. |

| By the way, you'd think we'd kick a** with the type of players we have on our Olympic team. Guess the chemistry never really can be there.....guess we'll find out. |
