Re: Why did we sign Randy Brown? Antoine should be the PG

I wouldn't exactly give credit to randy brown for the development of pierce 
or walker.  I think OB has alot more to do with it.  Randy retiring won't 
exactly help us because that 2+ million could have gone to a decent free 
agent.  The bottom line is we paid way too much for this guy.

Walker leads the team in assists and gets alot of his assists to pierce deep 
in the paint for an easy lay up.  He's the only player that can give pierce 
this pass.  Frankly, I think walker is the by far the best passer on the 
team.
