Maybe because he is better suited for the 2 spot and we are trying to fit a 
square peg in a round hole ?  Also I don't know many other veteran guards 
in the NBA that would be playing ahead of Strickland this year. Oh Sprewell 
will really help their chemistry.  If they can get Rider, Mason, Trent, and 
a couple of other gangsta's  they will really be scary.  They spend all the 
money on Howard & Webber and they can't even make the all-star team and 
back in to the playoffs. This has got to be one of the biggest 
underachieving teams in the league.  Personally I wouldn't be surprised to 
see one of them gone next year,   I have heard management is not happy with 
their performance.
