DC was the most PURE POINT of this draft class no question about it. From the end of January to season's end backs it up. I think the triangle offense isn't ideal for real point guards. Name a point guard who beasted playing the triangle offense? You won't be able to. Flynn looked mediocre as did Sessions. I do feel Sessions is worth the money he got paid but certain styles of play aren't ideal for certain players.

Back to Collison what would suggest his game/season was anymore suspect than the other point guards in his draft class? I had League Pass all year and watched every single top rookie player play at least 5gms this year if not more.

Sessions is a good PG with no jumper at ALL.

It sounds foolish but it's not because when you have two players that play the same position at a starting level one because the starter and the other becomes an asset to be used to fill a need on the team and NO's biggest need is getting under the cap. Another need is to get rid of the underacheiving players on that team and replace them with young less expensive players like Wilson Chandler or Toney Douglas.

But that still leaves you with the question: why move paul instead of DC? Well Paul is older and just had knee surgery, has a huge contract, and hsnt given any indication that he'll resign in 2 years so with the knicks' cap space they dnt have to match salaries and can drop off all their huge contracts and underachievers all for the small price of one of their two starting points.

As you said he is coming off knee surgery and a shaky season. If he returns to form he will have more value and the Hornets can see if Collison is the real deal for another year.

You could say, for instance, that Loconixfan and nixluva are cut from the same cloth?

Haha yeah we may agree from time to time because he did raise me and teach me the game but I usually have my own opinions

Wouldn't it be great if the arrival of new Knicks fans( the yutes) coincided with a Knick resurgence!!
