I just do not believe that we cannot find help for Rozier and Larkin who at least belongs in the NBA?  Who is returning form China?  Tony Allen? There must be a more NBA ready PG in the G League?  Monta Ellis?

Recently retired veteran perhaps? 

But why?  I mean, we may benefit from experience and hope a slow footed vet can turn back the clock and win us a game, but if we're looking to develop or showcase these young guys, then they're the ones we need to play, win or lose.

Playing Allen and Silas is futile they are so out of their element.  With Kyrie down we need more depth for the play-offs.

if you feel like dumpster diving into the gleague, the top assist makers are:

Isiah Taylor, 6'2" (is that a karma name or what?)
21.3 pts.g, 10 ast/g, 3 pt% = 44%
http://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/#!/1627819/stats/?p=isaiah-taylor

josh magette, 6'1"
15.1 pts.g, 10.2 ast/g, 3 pt% = 30%
http://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/#!/203705/stats/?p=josh-magette

jeremy pargo, 6'2"
16.1 pts.g, 10.4 ast/g, 3 pt% = 39%
http://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/#!/202951/stats/?p=jeremy-pargo

and...for reference, the celtics own kadeem allen's (6'3") dleague stats were:
17.7 pts.g, 4.9 ast/g, 3 pt% = 30%

personally, i'd like to see anthony bennett given a shot at the nba once more.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
