why waste time with best, just give the minutes to caldron or cook or whoever they end up going with

Smith also got it wrong it the article - Best isn't from Detroit, but Massachusetts - he and Jalen played together w/ the Pacers...

Bringin' him over isn't the best idea, especially when you're tryin' to wean the team away from Jalen's behind-the-public-persona maneuvrin's - why abet Jalen in this by importin' a cohort of his, who also shares much of the same orientation/mentality when it comes to individual stats versus good of the team...

I'd rather head into the season w/ Alston (for now), Cook, and Calderon - see how this trio fares before explorin' other choices - @ that juncture, teams should already have shored up their rosters by and large, and the pool of available PGs will be clearly defined...

Best is much like fellow Yellowjackets Kenny Anderson and Starbury in that he's a shootin' guard in a PG's body 'cause their handle isn't pass first...

Although I would like a veteran PG should we not sign both of Cook and Calderon, signing somebody like Best wouldn't be the worst thing to do. He's not a good shooter and he's not really pass-first, but he does have experience running a team in a backup role and I think that could be something beneficial.

BTW, anyone want to watch how quick Smith backpeddles after calling Cook's SPL a failure?
