I'd rather have Ricky than Starbury any day of the week. Ricky at least knows how to apply his talent. I also think the whole "headcase" thing is overrated. He played great with us when he was here, surprisingly so he was good about mentoring the youth as well. People who bring up the headcase issue obviously didn't watch the c's when he was here. It's the easiest cop out for fans who don't know what they are talking about. If Ray or Pierce go down with an injury, there is no one on the bench who can come in and adequately fill in their roles. Giddens, Walker, Tony, House?? No way. If he can come here and be the 6th man, and accept that role the way he did when he was here for the rest of the mle that we have left, i really don't see the issue.
Also, people who think Darius Miles is gonna come back, be effective, and be ready to contend for a championship after being out of the league for 2 years are out of their minds. He wasn't that good before he left the league.
Giddens and Walker also won't really bring that much to the table, sure its a feel good story of hope, but in reality one's a #30 pick and the other #47. Walker will probably go to the D league like pruitt did, or go overseas. They don't even have NBA experience let alone playoff exp. I don't really see this "glut of guards" Sure there might be a lot numbers wise, but take away the people who have no experience(Pruitt, Giddens, Walker) and your looking at a two player rotation at the 1-3 spots. The roster isn't as deep as people portray it to be.
