I find it very ironic that so many people chose PG as a high priority need.
At the point guard position, we have not one but TWO former all-stars where
we don't have any all-star caliber players at any other position.
While I agree it would be nice to have a pass-first point guard, I think we
would be better off getting RID of a point guard and getting:

1. a tough beast upfront that can play D and grab rebounds and put backs (I know David
Lee is doing a good job, but somebody in the pivot that could make people regret
treading in the paint -- a Mutombo or Alonzo type)
2. a consistent outside shooter
3. a GM that has a plan and that doesn't get taken to the cleaners on every trade.

i think marbury and francis are being totally EXPOSED for NOT being point guards.

1 - a true PG
2 - GM with a plan
3 - a frontcourt defender with balls
4 - a Coach understanding the GMs plan
5 - a miracle

in terms of needs. miracle might be better as the first option.
