Youre right there isnt an option. But you dont put wear down your 39 yr old, ONLY VIABLE BACKUP PG(dont give me pablo crap), at the 2. You do everything in your power to convince a Ronnie Brewer, Michael Redd Courtney Lee(not happening) someone. You dont run down your only other proven PG at the 2. Play him there at times? Yes but no way should he be starting. Havent you guys learned that PG depth HAS KILLED THIS TEAM?!?!

Kid averaged 29 min a game last year in a season with a condensed schedule so I think he will be fine playing 20-30 min in a normal schedule without back to back to back games.

He was also the starter on a playoff team.

Now idk what to expect from Prigioni but he can't be worse than TD or Bibby so therefore he is a decent 3rd string PG that can get spot minutes. From the videos I have seen the guy has court vision.

Actually i just remembered that J.R was promised to start if he signed that low contract....from a source but that was a rumor out there.

If that is true then Kidd won't start anyway but I do agree we have to pick up a SG at the vet minimum.

I wouldn't care either way if Kidd starts at 2 or not but HE WILL get minutes at the 2.

Saw an article (can't find link) that Pietrus isn't getting much attention from the Celtics so he may be available. Wouldn't mind Ronnie Brewer, I know he can't stroke the outside shot too well. But considering most of our offense from the SG position will come from Jr Smith/Kidd, I think he could be a great defensive plug till Shumpert comes back.

Dwight Howard going to the Lakers within a few days, get ready for yet another team to be better than us while we are stuck in upper mediocrity.

I had a feeling once he was cut they could give him a shot again. Kind of stupid how they can't resign him, thanks Lamar Odom and his depression from leaving the Lakers for that

Wow that would be another Superstar Center Orlando is losing to Los Angeles. Maybe Orlando hates Los Angeles now.

Brewer/Pietrus type of player would fit in with Carmelo well,

But a good shooter is a must for this position, someone to knock it down from the arc off of Melo double teams.

We definitely need a good replacement PF for taking load off of Amar'e as well.
The Knicks PF position is weak.

What about moving Melo to PF and starting Novak? Balancing strengths and weakness is all about perception. An upbeat team doesn't always beat a slow team, and a methodical team don't always beat SSOL.

The Celtics have agreed to acquire Courtney Lee in a sign-and-trade with the Rockets.

Boston will send back JaJuan Johnson in return.

Is it confirmed Howard is going to the Lakers? I just heard he signed an extension with them but Orlando has yet to confirm the trade with the Lakers.

It would be the biggest BS if Howard went to Fakers. They already got Nash and now they want Howard?

I think Howard only stated that he would agree to sign it & the Cavs have stated they would only take bynum if he's willing to sign an extension but i can see the deals getting done either by the weekend or monday.. so far things seem to be falling into place. Honestly i'm glad to see Howard out the East good news for the eastern conference bad news for the west lol

The Cavaliers are eager to acquire Andrew Bynum in a three-way trade with the Lakers and Magic involving Dwight Howard, but they are not prepared to move forward without an assurance from Bynum.

"Cleveland will only do the deal if Bynum extends," a league official directly involved in the talks told Yahoo! Sports.

The Lakers want the framework of a trade to be agreed upon before the Cavaliers begin engaging Bynum on an extension.
