Until/if Wesley signs, there is no point guard on the roster.  Here's my
plan to rebuild the team.  This requires luck on the 18th, and some
trades......

We have to get it first. We will know in a week !

Good idea, but Milwaukee probably wouldn't go for it and if we can land him
in 2 years for nothing is it worth it ?

Larry Brown believes in Stackhouse  so don't expect this.

A point guard tandem of Knight & Wesley would be suicide in the NBA. 
Knight is extremely quick but what about 5'10" at the most ?  A major
defensive liability.  Go with Billups or Antonio Daniels.

This definitely won't happen.  Ewing wouldn't even consider this an he does
not fit in a young teams plans.
