What's the deal with Aldrich? That's what I wanna know. Read somewhere yesterday someone mentioning that Berman said we're declining QOs for both Murry and Aldrich. Did we even have a QO to offer Aldrich?? No if, ands or buts...BRING ALDRICH BACK!!!

Larkin is a point guard with decent polish. The dude just lacks NBA experience due to injury. Murry on the other hand is a tweeter at point and shooting guard. He does need to be developed.

With that said I don't think Phil wants to develop players. I think he is looking for guys that can come in and play right away. Murry could contribute but his role in league hadn't been defined yet.

I'm curious to see what happens with Prigioni. He is getting a little long in the tooth and has 2 more guaranteed years. I like the guy, but he avg's 3.8 ppg and is a reluctant shooter while Larkin could be a nice change of pace guard. Then there's Brown. I'm not sure what his deal is but if he is a RFA do we resign him with 3 pgs already on the roster not to mention that he doesn't seem to do anything well except maybe a decent defender?

If Prigs passes up easy layups and wide open jumpers again this season, I hope that Fisher threatens to bench him in favor or Larkin. Being a pass first PG is great, but you can also hurt your team when you pass up on easy scoring opportunities. Especially when you're passing to someone who has a worse look at the rim than you do.

I wiuldn't mind trading Prigs, but Nelson's defense sucks too. We need someone who can hold Steph Curry to 35 instead of the usual 50 he drops on us.

He would still be an upgrade from prigs. Nelson would be coming off the bench so stopping Curry would mostly be on whoever is starting or the SG. Curry can go off on anyone,so I wouldn't use him as an example of why Nelson shouldn't be signed.

The problem is that we have possibly the worse PG defender in the league starting for us. We saw this storyline play out for last year. If Calderon is our starter, then we need someone who can pinch hit for him from time to time. Toronto had Lowry while Dallas had Ellis and Devin Harris. We need to handcuff Calderon to a defender.
