FA Point Guards

[BRNC]

Joel Brigham with an article on the FA PGs...we need a third but I'd lean more to a combo type third...if we trade DJ then I'd give a look at Carlos Arroyo or Earl Watson as vet players to back up Kemba...

How cheap could we get TJ Ford? I like Earl Watson for a 3rd pg he did well in Utah last year and he plays good defense

We almost traded for Ford, so you'd have to think he'd be on our radar as a UFA...esp. if he's cheap. Could we be lucky enough to pull him for the vet minimum? I might go a little more than that, but no more than a 2 year deal (maybe 3rd team option like we did with Liv).

I've always liked Watson, a solid PG who can play some defense. I think he'll get 2-3 million though, and probably with a team trying to do more than we will be this year.

Either of those guys so long as we don't overpay.

Patti Mills of Portland and Jason Williams of Orlando/Memphis may be options for us too.

I think Earl Watson would be good for Miami

We almost traded for Ford,

More than once. :p

He'd be ok though, I'd like to see the market for DJ before I decided on backups though.
