You just have to throw that in there don't you, JB?  Because there's no 
one else who can shoot that badly in the league, right?  What's A. Iverson'
s FG% again?

My Xmas wish is to not hear about these particular players for a while.  
You've said you aren't obsessed with Khalid -- I think your mentioning him 
over and over again belies that.  There's nothing wrong with being 
obsessed with him (no matter how I may rib you), but it sure would be nice 
to hear you admit it once.

Why do we need to look for a backup to a guy who's going to average like 
44 minutes a game?  I'd rather look for a center to replace a part of the 
Troika.  Also, don't we have like 4 backup point guards?  Granted, an 
upgrade would be welcome, but I'd hate to se another point guard pick up a 
roster spot.
