Don't know how Detroit could do that when neither of them can shoot.

Point guard job is to pass not shoot

And you're saying one of them is starting at shooting guard? How can a team survive such a terrible shooting backcourt?

It's not that technical. It's not like basketball is a real time strategy game were you put a guy in a slot and he can only operate where you place him.

You stick two point guards out there, they both initiate the offense and take turns scoring. Both guys are good scorers. They don't have to be steve Kerr to be a point guard. They can work an offense around the 2 point guards and two big men. They could make that work.

How are they supposed to score when every defense is just going to pack the paint? And Stan Van Gundy is both the coach and the GM; it goes against all of his offensive principles.

Music to my ears. Like I said in the draft thread. Get me Towns, Monroe & Butler with a decent PG and I will outhomer Nix next year!

I think the most realistic signing this summer is either Monroe or Aldridge. Both of them being FA's and not RFA's I'd give it an 80% likelihood that one of those two are in orange and blue come next season with the advantage going to Aldridge.

I think there is a good chance of Monroe, however Aldridge is not happening- he loves Portland, they have near max cap space, he's their franchise player, there's no way he doesn't stay there. He even said he's only opting out so he can sign a 5 year deal with them. If he wanted out he would not be playing with that hand tear. I would say Love is a more realistic possibility.

Guys who do things that make the team as a whole stronger. He wants efficient players. He does need players that can also create but not in a selfish way. Reggie didn't do himself any favors last night. He might've crossed his name off the list with that performance, tho I wouldn't make that final at this point, cuz maybe it was his low point. Still he didn't exactly put on a clinic of smart team BB last night.

If you watched the pre game interview with Vangundy, he said that he has not gone over any of the offense with Jackson. He doesn't want him thinking, he wants him t just play. That said, he was awful. Had a couple of nice alley pop passes, but that was about it. He did play well for OKC, well enough that coaches and GM's around the league took notice
