Cheap Point Guards

by Jordan Sams on Jul 18, 2009 12:34 AM PDT Comment 14 comments

Another veteran point guard became available today in the form of Earl Watson. In light of Earl's new-found availability I thought I'd throw out a short list of point guards who might be available for cheap, and worth taking a look at.

Earl Watson
Brevin Knight
Marcus Williams
Anthony Carter

Slim pickings huh? I'm working on a couple legitimate Sixers posts to give you guys something to read, so hang tight.

And here's a nightly nugget from the Summer League: I've been told that when Eddie Jordan took over the Wizards he wanted to sign Kevin Ollie to run his offense rather than Gilbert Arenas. Take it for what it's worth, but Kevin Ollie is currently still on the market. He's pretty dang old, and has a super-ugly mustache, but he's still out there...

How many times would this be for Ollie playing for us? I read in Dei Lynam’s blog that they might go with AI9 at the point and have Bill Green start at the 2.

I'd like that a lot.

Well, Andre at the one at least. You know how I feel about Bill at the two.

Yeah I know but...

I think they don’t want Holiday starting right off the bat so who would you rather have start, Bill or Lou?

Yikes.

If it came down to it I’d take Bill.

Me too...

I like Lou better off of the bench and hopefully by mid-season Holiday is ready to start

I’d rather have lou start over willie cause willie sucks we know and at least lou has a chance to improve…

According to reports watson is gone already

If they don’t make it an opening competition in training camp they’re idiotic.

I still like the idea of brevin knight just for a year

Williams just has too much baggage and too much ‘to prove’ to be a transition guy

As I have stated before, If Willie starts, I am not going to the games. Not going to waste my money on paying for parking to see that loser get recognized as a starter.

They need to get some shooters in the guard. Lou needs to have his shot at the point, and get a couple of guys that can shoot as the 2. Gave AI a chance at the 2 and Kapano as a SF.

green has those compromising photos that he uses to blackmail himself into the starting lineup.

He has a shot to go down as one of the worst longterm starters in franchise history- and that is saying something.

Name some alltime lousy players who started 3+ years for the Sixers.

Take this with a grain of salt but..

I just heard on the radio that we are sending Andre Miller to Portland, Portland sends Steve Blake and somebody else to Chicago and we get Kirk Hinrich from Chicago

Don’t buy it at all for a lot of reasons, primary of which is that according to most recent reports, Portlands interest in Miller was an invention of his agent (as I think most of it is) and Portland would rather have Hinrich than Miller.

What radio station were you listening to and was it ’her’s a rumor’ or here’s a dj making something up?
