Hodge is the answer to who should have been drafted after Fransico Garcia. Hodge wont be any better than DJ or basically what we have now.
Mike Miller is good when healthy on one side of the ball. Raja Bell gets it done on both sides. I like Bells outside shooting and he is the guy I want guarding Manu, not Mike Miller. Id much rather have Peterson on Manu and other talented scorers (Kobe, Allen etc) as well.
Look at the three point shooting last year with Person on the team and without. Then look at it again this year. Its extremely obvious a "specialist" could be a big help. Fred Hoiberg seems like an obvious choice later this year to fill that role. However a peterson or bell or "your definition of a solid two guard" would be ideal. Ive been saying that for two summers now. People had been denying our two guard situation on this board for a long time and are just know coming to realize the seriousness of the issue. For Carmelo to be successful he needs guys he can dish to that can knock down outside shots. He had Jon Barry and Vo Lenard his rookie year to shoulder the load outside. That was good enough for a playoff birth. Now the two guards we have simply arent good enough. Period. And Kiki drafted a guy with a shakey outside shot, and images of Rashad McCants taunting him in his head.
And as for me needing to chill out. Its simple. I stated it once and its really that simple. Hey I want your good player will you take this nasty undesirable contract? When it is that freakin obvious im going to call it out just like i did.
