I also think we have to go with Gilbert, he has proven that he can be unselfish, but also that if you need points he's willing to give them to you, and I think that's perfect, I see him being a Marbury type point guard, who can be selfish or unselfish depending on the teams needs, and next year, I think we are going to need a point guard who can score, yes Melo will put some points up, but I'm not sure if Nene's offensive game will be good enough to give us a solid offensive contribution, in time it will, but I think expecting that next year is a little much.
I'm not so much concerned with getting Arenas though I think that Kiki is going to do that, I am more concerned with who they get as the other free agent in order I would go after
Jermaine O'neal
Brad Miller
Radoslav Nesterovic
Elton Brand
Obviously Jermaine would be the best but the chances of getting him are slim. I think most people are sleeping on Nesterovic, He will never be a dominant post player but I think he is more than servicable, last year he put up 11 and 7 which I admit aren't great numbers, but we aren't going to get a dominant big man, lets face it there aren't to many of them left.
I also think that we should at least try Anthony out at shooting guard and see how he does. When Vince Carter first game into the league he was projected as a small forward and became a shooting guard, and I think Carmelo will end up being a better shooting guard than small forward. The small forward position is turning into a place for skinny power forwards, and with Carmelo being more of a shooter and a slasher I think he will fit better at the 2. With Melo at the 2 that opens up room for Skita and White at the 3. My dream team for next season would be something like this
PG - Arenas
SG - Melo
SF - White/Skita
PF - NENE/Camby
C - Nesterovic or Miller/Camby
not a play-off team but a good building block add on another lottery pick for next year, and the continued development of Skita, Nene and Melo and they will be a contender.
