No, the blindness is automatically thinking that anyone we bring in for SG is going to be better than Ben. We've been going through this scenario for 3 years and some people haven't figured out a couple of simple facts. 1. Ben is a pretty average SG when you look at his numbers. 2. Anyone we try to get in free agency that will actually come here is going to be an average player with flaws. So excuse me if I don't buy into this "Anyone but Ben" silliness. The team reduced his minutes, took him out of the starting lineup, brought in a vet sharp shooter to spell him and teach him the ropes, used a gritty tough player in Anderson for defense, and yet, the team results were the same.
I'm ok with the Afflalo signing, but I have no illusions that we've been saved somehow. I also don't expect Afflalo to get better with age.
