I'd be surprised. I would be all for it though. I was the biggest Knight supporter on the board before we drafted Enes.

I can vouch for you there. Still, none of these guys have yet to played a game and nothing has been proven out, as yet.

Back on topic.

I think bringing Watson back is a pretty big deal. He was a very effective backup and played great with the young guys and I personally think the team is very fun to watch when he is playing. I know it only was effective for a little while but when the price/watson serge was going strong it was pretty exciting.

Harris over the last 3 season has played on average only 69 games per season so a good backup is very important.

There also is no other good backups even available other than watson that we could afford. I'll bet if watson doesn't come back Price will be our main backup pg and nobody wants that.

Agree with everything you've said there, but that's the point of this thread - if we can't get Watson - then what are our other options? Seems we don't really have a plan B.

I just don't have much faith whatsoever in a Harris/Price combo. We need an experience/steady hand at the helm with all our youngins' in the team this year.

Dont worry Price will not be our backup point guard. However, looking at the unrestricted free agent point guards out there not to much to choose from.

Barea--too expensive? Bibby--not a good year Telfair--may have found another team TJ Ford--see Telfair
Anthony Carter anyone?

hmmm, really?

Who has faith in this combo?

We somehow turned from a team with an All Star PG with thin front court..

.. to a glut of bigs with pretty thin PG talent ... in just 1 year.

Unless KOC knows something we don't - not getting back Earl would be a major disappointment of this off-season.

Chauncey Billups could get the amnesty....

I bet he would go to a contender. I guess Utah could be possible because he is a Denver native and Utah is somewhat close (plus Denver has too many PG's for him to go there). Still doubt it though. Lakers and Heat would both probably be after him.

I have watched this guy play back-up PG for years. Mostly with Denver.

I have never seen him hit a jump shot in my life.

I'm not kidding - never.

It is not pretty out there with free agent PGs who may come here. I heard at one point Milwaukee was thinking of amnestying Udrih, but does not appear to be the case now.

With amnesty Billups can't choose where he goes.
