Remember, it was only because Beno completely sucked that Vaughn originally received PT. And - as mediocre as he was - Vaughn was a huge upgrade in that slot for the 2007 season.

If you let him go, then you have to find another veteran insurance policy to play behind Tony & Hill. Good luck finding anybody better or cheaper than Vaughn who would be willing to be the third PG - it won't happen.

You make a valid point. The coaching staff might feel the need to have 3 full-time PGs on the team. And they might feel that Barry is not a capable full-time PG at this stage in his career. Whatever the reasoning, the staff might absolutely want a 3rd PG. If that is the case then Jacque Vaughn needs to stay. He knows the system, is reasonably capable and also dirt cheap. While this team needs youth at most of our positions, we most definiately do NOT need more youth at PG. We simply need a capable player at minimum dollars. Thats Vaughn all the way.

If the front office would consider utilizing the Barry/Gino PG duo as our "3rd PG," however, then I'd be all for it. And actually, in all honesty I'd like to see the Spurs' 3rd PG eventually be a true combo guard: somebody 6'4 or taller with legit PG skills that can also play on the wing. I would want somebody tall enough to not be an absolute liability on defense when playing on the wing and capable of playing both positions with fluidity. They would likely play very little PG when there were no injuries and spend most of their time in the off-guard slot. But thats just my long-term hopes and probably won't see fruition for sometime (if ever).
