I understand that AWill is not the best PG, but I think he and JT will complement each other well. AWill is very consistent and plays good D. Toronto loves him, but they need someone who can score. Mo Pete, on the other hand is not very popular there. They had high expectations, but he turned up to be just a good player. KB21 is right - Mo wants a big contact, but he'll be FA at the same time as Hendu and Crawford, so letting them go will enable us to sign a star.

How about trading GRob and the first-round pick from Indiana to Toronto for Alvin Williams and Mo Pete. That'll give us: AWill/DD JT/Dion/DJ Mo/Ira/Second round pick SAR/Hendu Theo/Nazr Toronto will end up with: TJ Ford/Alston/Hunter Carter/First round pick GRob/Chris Jeffries Bradley/JYD Davis/McCoy

No way Toronto will give their second best player, young PF with a lot of potential, and such a high pick for the C that gets 6-7 rbs per game and the BU PF that gets paid like a star.

It's 2 points per assist. Plus, don't you think that steals are important for PG as well? BTW, you can give 1 point for each block, the average blocks per game numbers are so small for PGs, that it will not change the picture. Plus I don't see your point about blocks anyway. When you're comparing PFs you never look at Assists, or when you looking at Centers you don't care about steals? PG is not there to pass the ball only. He should score, rebound, steal, and block as well. So, you missed the point. All I was trying to do is to measure overall performance of JT at PG position.

So many people don't see JT as a PG. I don't get to see Hawks play very often, but according to statistics JT isn't bad at all. I took all starting PGs in the league and here is what I got: Assists per game - JT is 7th PPG - 8th Steals - 10th RPG - 11th FG% - 18th 3pt% - 10th FT% - 4th Moreover, I used a system where every PG gets 1 point for each point scored per game, 2 for assist, 1.5 for rebound, 2.5 for steal, 2.5 per block. Then I deducted 0.5 points for each field goal missed per game, 1 point per missed FT, and 2 points for Turnover. Well, guess what? Based on this system JT ranks 5th among PGs in the league. Here are top 15 PGs: Jason Kidd - 37.8 points per game Gary Payton - 37.7 Stephon Marbury -š34.7 Steve Francis -š33.7 Jason Terry -š29.51 Steve Nash -š29.47 Gilbert Arenas -š29.46 Eric Snow -š28.3 John Stockton -š27.0 Andre Miller -š26.5 Jason Williams -š26.4 Mike Bibby -š25.2 Jamaal Tinsley -š23.5 Tony Parker -23.4š Larry Hughes -š23.2 So, as we see, according to statistics JT is easily one of the top 7 PGs in NBA. I know that we can't absolutely rely on statistics, but at least it gives some performance measurment. Therefore, let's stop running around looking for a PG when we have one. A great one I might add.

This offseason we should try signing Rafer Alston from the Raptors. I've seen him play a few times. The guy is very good and he has a lot of potential. I think he'll make excellent BU PG.

We should try signing Gary Payton. We can send Theo and Glover to make it work. Milwaukee will have: Cassel/Redd/Mason/Thomas/Theo Then we could sign Jamaal Magloire. Give Hornets Nazr. As a result: GP/Dickau JT/Ira GRob/Ham SAR/Draft Magloire/Hendu
