he's not a shooter, he's a very good passer and pick and roll pg. he's similar to marbury in that respect, except he's a superior defender to marbury. people forget this guy was a ncaa champion and has played very well when used at the point. he's had horrible coaching in the nba and has been used off the ball which is dumb because he is not a shooter. he is a pg.

i think walsh will be patient, but felton is a good option.

a couple of interesting things from his 82games.com stats:

http://www.82games.com/0708/07CHA3A.HTM

he shot the ball better in crunch time situations and with 0-10 seconds on the clock. i liked his crunch time play at UNC a lot and his his better shooting with 0-10 on the clock implies he's better at pushing the ball and maybe a fit for our offense - 0-10 meaning 0-10 seconds expired off the shot clock aka seven seconds or less.

his worst shooting comes with 3 seconds remaining on the 24 second clock, which to me implies that he is getting the ball at the end of the clock and forced to hoist a bad jumper up.

look, he's not a flawless pg or he wouldn't be available, but he pushed the ball at UNC and he can push it here. he makes tremendous decisions in the open court from what i've seen, better than anyone we have. he's a solid crunch time performer and with better spacing and a better designed offense, i bet his fg% will go up.

people here seem enamored with hinrich - but his first three years are worse than felton's and he isn't anywhere near the passer/facilitator that felton is. hinrich likes to sit back and launch threes and he's not good at it. felton gets by people to set up others and himself. if he's used properly, i think felton is the superior pg to hinrich and that felton is superior to most options we for a pg in trades. i can't think of any. i'm not sold on blake. i like lowry's defense, but not so much his playmaking. we aren't getting conley for lee and i'm not even sure i like conley as much as felton.

we've backed ourselves into a corner of having to trade lee, felton is good value, he was a no.5 pick in the same draft lee went 30. both have produced in the nba, both have flaws to their games, both fit what the other team lacks. it's a fair trade in a lot of ways.

How about Felton/Carrol and a second round pick for Lee and Crawford?

The added bonus is that we get rid of Crawford. Carrol can play the 2 or perhaps chandler can step in. Carrol is not great, but at least he plays D and shoots a good percentage.

Then we can just go ahead and trade Marbury for Marion. (Cause you know it is coming!)

you're kidding about marion for marbury, right?

marion and marbury both expire at the end of next season. why would the heat want to trade a productive player who fits their team who they can try out for a year for a malcontent idiot who makes zero sense for their team? it doesn't save them any money whatsoever, it makes so little sense. it is ridiculous.

Marbury, D Lee & Balkman for Marion & Blount?
