I just hope that Geoff looked at other options before we hit went all-out with Beno. Just some of the younger pgs out there with contracts less than what we supposedly offered:
Memphis: Conley, Crittendon, Lowry
New Jersey: Williams
New York: Collins
Philly: Louis Wiliams
Cleveland: Delonte West
Indiana: Diener, Jack
Bucks: Sessions
Bobcats: Felton
Phx: Barbosa
Houston: Brooks
Portland: Blake, Rodriguez
Seattle: Watson, Ridnour
Lakers: Farmar
Now, I'm not suggesting that all of these guys are better than Beno or that they have more potential but I do think for most of them, they could be available at less cost than Beno while potentially improving the team long term (both as a player and from a cap perspective).
The old hindsight is 20-20 thing mentioned earlier is spot on but its time for this team to start putting together a more thoughtful plan for the future and that may mean making some tough decision right now (like having a poorer quality starting pg for a year or two).
