While i am a fan of Lawson, and would love him at the point, i also want Nate on this team, but i think that what we have to pay him would be starter money. So if we keep him, he may have to start. Just a thought.

"That's my decision," Warren said. "I'm staying."
The 6-foot-4 Warren, one of the most talented freshman in the country this past season, averaged 14.6 points and 3.1 assists.
With Griffin, the National Player of the Year, gone to the NBA, Warren will have an expanded role. The Sooners also lose senior starters Taylor Griffin — Blake's older brother — and point guard Austin Johnson.
However, Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel will bring in one of the nation's top classes — one that includes heralded point guard Tommy Mason-Griffin and talented big man Keith "Tiny" Gallon.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hv2jInUNDSQcJd1N_Lw9mKf92beAD97J8CT80WASHINGTON (AP) — Georgetown says Big East rookie of the year Greg Monroe is sticking around for his sophomore season.
Monroe is a 6-foot-10 center who was second on the Hoyas in scoring average at 12.7 and led the team in rebounding average at 6.5 as a freshman.
He also led the team in total blocks and was second in assists.
Georgetown was ranked as high as No. 9 in the AP Top 25 before losing 12 of its last 16 games to finish 16-15. The Hoyas lost to Baylor in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament.
Also Wednesday, Georgetown said sophomore guard Omar Wattad will transfer. He is the third Hoyas basketball player in the past two years to leave for another school.
Problem is, we don't have a 1st round pick in 2010. I was hoping more prospects come out this year, since this will be our last lottery pick for awhile.
Monroe will probably go top 5 next year. Hopefully Donnie can pick up a 1st rounder next year.
I wouldn't mind trading away D Lee and Robinson for picks. We still have wilcox, who I feel could be re-signed for cheap to replace Lee, and if we draft rubio or lawson, we have duhon to run back-up to replace nate.
I think Lee and Nate are almost at their peak, might as well as take risks on finding that next superstar.
I also think this is a good idea in case the 2010 plan for Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Amare etc. does not work out. We will at least be under cap to re-sign said superstar OR use that room to sign proven vets to surround our young talent.
Because lets be real, I seriously doubt Lee and Nate will be deciding factors in getting anyone to come to NY.
