While I don't dislike the moves Orlando made, I don't understand how 
DA can say they are better than the C's or even the Sixers.  If you 
think our bench was thin look at theirs -- and they lost their 
sparkplug Darrell Armstrong.  I don't think its a stretch to say 
Banks may be a better starting PG -- RIGHT NOW -- than Tyronne Lue 
either.
