Re: backup PG

I couldn't agree more with this, although it will never happen. Obviously,
the roster and payroll is set at this point, so there aren't going to be any
additions. But Jackson would be a great third-stringer and point guard
mentor to Banks. That would be a great idea. Too bad it won't happen.

I can't think of many folks out there better able to teach Banks the 
position of PG.  Guess the question is would he take the min -- or 
slightly over (couldn't we swing it) -- for the poss. of being a 3rd 
string.  But imagine if Banks takes awhile to pan out or if James gets 
hurt, I'd much rather have MJax running the show in important 4th 
quarters.
