gotta get another SG if Ray walks...Esp. since AB is on the shelf until the at least December. Can't go into the season with just Jet...Peaches is a SF...they will have to bring someone in

We need a big guard that can D-up opposing big guards, right now with what we have we are going to get smoked by Joe Johnson types.

I want Pietrus back as a defender, but the myth about how Joe Johnson "smoked" us needs to stop.  He averaged 17.2 points on 37.3% field goal shooting with about 1.00 points per shot attempts and 3.5 assists to 2.7 turnovers against us in the playoffs.  He shot .250 from long range.

Joe Johnson had a woeful series against the Celtics.  "Who's gonna guard Joe Johnson?" is, quite frankly, pretty low on my list of concerns going into next season.
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

I'm not saying Joe Johnson, I'm saying bigger guards that can back down are small guards (Rondo, AB, Terry). I guess Pietrus can do that if he comes back.
