From the same guy who broke the Peja deal apparently

Well, there goes that probably... oh well, I would of dug seeing him back.

If we do want to get a back-up PG, gotta look at the other attainable two-way guards out there now. B-Jax wouldn't of been my #1 or #2 choice anyways, but definitely a top 5'er.

This is the end of Claxton. Hornets definitely trying to build up their team for a playoff run.. getting Chandler for them would have it's key positvies and negatives

I think Douby was the end of a run at BJax or another backup PG. I think Douby, Hart and Price will battle it out for the 2nd and 3rd PG spot.

Interesting to see if this guy is right about the Chandler trade, Ben to Chicago and other stuff. He seems confident, but he could be full of crap as well.
 
Damn, i wanted to go after B-Jax (for the right price). If they get Chandler, the Hornets could make some serious noise.
 
I wouldn't say the Hornets are gonna storm the league, but yes, the Hornets are looking to be on another level now.

Well, we'll see about that. If so, fine with me. Just think you gotta have an experienced PG somewhere on the bench. :)

It would have been great from a nostalgic standpoint, but the Kings need to build toward the future.
 
I'd rather have a back-up PG with some time in the league, as a two-way guard. But, if we do decide to go the Douby/Hart or Price route, we still have Ron/Bibby/Garcia to handle as well.

alls that's been said about Douby at the point is he'll "occasionally spell Mike", so, nothing clear on what Douby's rotation spot/role will be.

Just have to wait and see what goes on with the back-up PG spot.

I don't think that's realistic unless some big moves happen this offseason. And even still, Bobby Jackson is not the player he used to be. He only shot 38% from the field this past year, which is pretty miserable. He's 33. If the Kings were to sign a veteran backup PG, the reality is that they could do better than Bobby Jackson.

Totally agree. Besides more and more reports I've read have Douby as one of the sleepers in the draft. Whether he works out remains to be seen but aside from nostalgia Bobby would be nothing more than a 1 or 2 year short fix. We drafted small so any free agent pickup or major trade we make had better be in the front court or I really will start scratching my head.
 
Well, outside of Hart on the bench (who knows with him), we don't have an experienced PG. And, with a playoff team/competing to get bakc into the tops of the league, I wouldn't be surprised if we do get some kind of experienced PG for the bench. I'd be perfectly fine with it, too.

If not, well, just have to see how it goes. Still got Garcia/Bibby/Ron to handle things as well.

Back-up PG I'd say is up in the air until we learn more.
 
Damn what are the Hornets doing building the team of ex kings peja,bjax,coach scott, who is next cwebb opting out of his deal and signing there and DC making a comeback and signing there as well lol.
 
We will have 4 point guards with guaranteed contracts right now (assuming that's what Douby plays and we don't trade his rights). That's one too many, if we can get rid of one or two via trade and bring an experienced backup PG in great, but its hard to justify using the MLE on any guard right now.

I completely agree. With the development of Chris Paul (who has superstar potential) the Hornets should be much more competitve next season with these moves. Adding Peja/Chandler and B-Jax is a pretty solid off-season already.
 
Chandler deal isn't official or announced yet... I think that's a nice move for them, but not GREAT like most would think.

Petrie does most of his work through trades, and with the way the FA market is on bigs, the main/starting interior d will come through a trade. Unless we can get Nazr or Joel or Ben Wallace some how. ;)

On using the MLE, Claxton would command the MLE, Banks, can go either way on part of it or all of it.

I still don't see any point in signing another guard until we have gotten rid of a few of the others. If there's a deal in the works to do this great but you'd have to think we'd be just as likely to get a quality backup through a trade as we would through the MLE plus we'd still have the MLE and we'd be better off cap/lux. tax wise. With all the contracts coming off the books next season it may even be possible that we'd hold off on using the MLE this season to make a run at a big free agent next year.

Either way you can't go into a season with 5 point guards on a 13-15 man roster.

Unless the idea is that whoever trades an experienced PG to us would want a cheaper backup one in exchange, which we now have.

Um, like we'd have all 5? That's just ridiculous to think. Price/Hart would likely be gone, at least one of them. Garcia's a canidate to be in a deal for a big man.

lol

Regardless, the back-up PG spot is up in the air until we learn more and deals are done. Simple as that.

I'm perfectly cool with having a vet. PG somewhere on the roster, same for Douby being the back-up.

I agree with you here, nbrans. Unless something big happens, I was not expecting us to be championship contenders the upcoming year, altho I'd be happy to be surprised :).

Garcia's not a point guard either. I'm sure one of the 4 we have now will be gone because even that is too many.

The point which seems utterly lost is that it would be a waste to sign a PG, Bobby or otherwise after drafting for one. A trade makes plenty of sense, especially if it gets rid of Hart. Since they all have guaranteed contracts I doubt we're going to just waive any of them, that's an entirely un-Maloof/Petrie thing to do.

No, I know he's not a PG, but mentioning Garcia to possibly be dealt in a deal for a big man, was in relation to more time for other wings.

MLE I think could be used on a PG - a top FA one, or using a part of it on a decent one, to have a veteran PG on the roster. Or on a big man.

I don't think they'd waive any of them either.
