Re: Chauncey vs Marcus

Hey Cecil
Sure, he would have been another possibility. However, at this point there is no one who can come here cheap anymore because we have all possible roster slots filled. So we would have to cut someone else and eat their contract, which would stay as part of our cap figure (and more importantly, luxury tax), even if the new guy signed for the minimum.
I guess an alternative would be to bring in someone as a coach who can still play to play well enough to use against Marcus in practice, but then you cut into the practice time of the other guy who we're going to need in actual games. Aside from not having the extra edge to the lesson that Marcus would loose minutes to an over the hill geezer <g>

You still coming to any games this month BTW?

 Even though he may not be the prototypical point guard, Robert Pack is
still available and I know we have discussed him in the past.  Is he a guy
who can come here on the cheap and be of any value for a short term?
