I'd still like to see us improve at the point, even if it looks like nothing more than a subtle improvement at first. I respect Jack, even Sessions, but I just want something more dynamic there. Someone who complements Frank, who I'm actually good continuing to develop & roll with, growing pains and all. A younger PG that can play uptempo, get out on the break and push it, break guys down in the half court, get easy buckets for themselves or their teammates. A PG who can shoot and score the ball at will is always a plus in my book...Also, a guy that fits the age timeline with our core guys -- KP, Timmy, Kanter, Frank, etc (say 25 or younger). And if we didn't improve markedly right away, no problem, we'd still be adding a valuable piece for the good of the team's future. A guy we look at and say, "hey, you know this guy's got a lot of talent and has a key element that we're currently lacking. He's been vastly overlooked, even by us, and/or is buried behind other players on his current team. If we added this guy, gave him an opportunity and some playing time, gave coach a faster/quicker engine to drive the bus, who the hell knows?" Plus, we know Jeff wants to play uptempo -- he excelled playing this style of ball with the Suns. I'd bet anything he'd love to add this type of player. The key here for me is to take a low-risk flier -- a no-risk/all reward cheap FA signing or a low risk trade where we don't have to surrender much. If it did work out, it's a shrewd move to add an instant upgrade at the point; if it didn't, no harm, no foul--we didn't give up anything (or very little via trade) and we turn the page quickly.
There are options here (in order):
Sign Cat Barber.
Call up the Pacers and inquire about Joe Young.
Call up the Rockets and ask about Demetrius Jackson's availability.
Promote Trey Burke.
If we're really interested in winning this year and I was an intern or something over there at the Garden, this is what I'd recommend to Mills and Perry. I think adding this dimension to our attack would do wonders. There are other position players out there I like and would like to see us go the same route with, but I'd start with a faster/quicker PG. That'd be first on my list.
