Hes not undersized, he plays good perimeter defense, hes an offensive minded PG, etc.

Had knight not had a two year deal, i wouldnt be shocked to see him (with a star PG in the draft or not) make this team next year as a primary backup. As it stands, i dont see us having a PG in the draft, plus picking up livvy's option, plus having knight come back since hes under contract, AND resigning smush.

Im really not sure why everyone is complaining here...you guys are complaining for the wrong reason. Had we been a near playoff team, and we made this move, it makes all the sense in the world. However, as a team who needs losses, we should be complaining because this move makes us BETTER, and at a waste of money (the money we saved by letting cassell go). THATS why this move sucks. We need to lose, not improve ourselves.
