Looking at today in a positive light
Ok, so we didn't get a big time player to help us out...let's look at some positives here.
For all intents and purposes, our PG position is shaky with Atkins' health and AC playing above himself for who knows how long.
Von Wafer wasn't getting any PT...so we traded him for Taurean Green, a 2 time national champion at Florida. He's a rookie, and he's lightnign fast from the reports I've read.
We really did need a backup PG, and we got a solid, young, cheap one to mold the way the organization wants. Not a bad pickup. Not great, but he could be really solid like Robert Pack in 2 years or so.
We just learned that Nene is having chemo, so he'll be out longer. Hopefully he'll get back with about a month left in the season so he can get in shape for the playoffs. He'd bring another dimension to our game if he can do that.
Chucky Atkins??? If he gets healthy, he can help us out...but I'm not holding my braeth on the aging PG. I doubt he'll be back next year unless we can't move him.
All in all, we have several budding players (JR Smith adn Kleiza) who are only getting better, some solid All-Stars in Melo and AI, great near-all-stars in Camby and KMart, and some hustlers (Najera) who constantly play above themselves.
Will we make the finals? It's possible. Whoever we play in the playoffs will have their hands full. Let's hope we can get healthy and gel befoer then.
If this doesnt' work, fire Karl.
