a point guard that can't play for one of the worst teams in the NBA is good enough to play for the Spurs?
Makes sense.
Here's SG/PG that has fallen out of our ol' pal PJ Carleissimo's rotation in Seattle.
Get him.
Now.

Um, our current backup PG is Jaques Vaughn.
West plays behind E. Watson and L. Ridnour... two starting-quality PGs.
Put the hot dog down.
Who ya gonna trade that Seattle wants?
question
how about putting down the pipe, its too early.
Delonte West sucks.
I'd rather have Jacques
careful what you wish for. delonte is a chucker. hes more of a undersized shooting guard than a real point guard
Delonte is a freckled version of Nick Van Exel.
Without the clutchness.
Lemme get this straight... a young backup PG that can pass and shoot?
Maybe you guys are right... let's stick with the 90-year-old dynamo Jaques Vaughn.
I bet we could get Vaughn cheap and sell PJ on someone he is familiar with off our bench.
West has some health troubles this year and that's why he doesn't play a lot in Seattle. I'm not sure that Seattle is ready to trade him while they haven't been able to really evaluate him.
Hey Ghost,
a guy thats watched him up close that is a Celtics fan says he sucks, but yet you know more than him?
Holy crap, have you even watched the Sonics play? Worst pg's in the league that aren't named Eric Snow.
Please tell me you guys don't seriously think that Jaques Vaughn is better than, um, any backup PG.
I challenge you to name a worse second PG off the bench.
Period.
Beno Udrih.
Too easy.
So you want a backup PG that's going to steal touches from Manu off the bench and jack up shots? Jacques rarely turns the ball over, plays good D, and hits open jumpers. He's a good fit for this team. You might want something flashier, but the Spurs knew what they were doing when they signed him.
Answer my question.
And Beno was starting for Sac and doing really well, you dope.
Vaughn doesn't hit open jumpers.
What was those things he made vs the lakers the other night....Vaughn doesn't hit open jumpers.
What's Vaughn's scoring average and FG%?
Name a worse backup.
Had no pressure on him and chucked up a bunch of shots.And Beno was starting for Sac and doing really well, you dope.
Sounds like Spurs material to me.
Vaughn is a solid backup PG. we might need a 3rd pg though especially since Tony is hurting
If you think Ridnour is better than Delonte West. You should just hope the Spurs trade for Ridnour instead. He's the one that the Sonics have been trying to deal for the last year.
The only PG I'd want from Seattle is Watson though. DE-FENSE.
Name a worse backup.
I'm waiting.
Smush Parker. Steve Francis. Beno....it's pointless to go on.
Pop called Vaughn the IDEAL BACKUP POINT GUARD.
Of course Pop's expeirence and wisdom could never surpass yours!
I'm wondering if JeffDrums hi-jacked your username. Do you actually watch any of the games? Or do you limit yourself to the boxscore?
If the Sonics want to give away West, this actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Especially if there's a chance that Parker's ankle never gets quite right.
That said, the Sonics probably value West more than Ridnour and Watson once you consider the contracts of all three.
That's fine, as long as we keep Vaughn in case West continues to suck.
Last year, Jacque hit 46.6% of his long two's. He is actually far worse around the basket. If you just want to talk about shooting percentage, and since scoring averages are pretty unreliable compared with actually value to a team (the Spurs should have at least taught you that by now), some PG's with worse TS%'s and turnover ratios are Brevin Knight, Travis Diener, Jason Hart, Jannero Pargo, Chris Duhon, Sebastian Telfair, Luke Ridnour, etc. It goes on.
But a lot of this is subjective; stats are never going to reveal everything. My question is, where else do we get a PG who can pressure the ball up the court, play above average defense, hit open jumpers at a good clip, all while not getting in the way of our stars (particularly Manu), and for the vet min. Jacque's a good deal. That said, I would have liked to have had Darius Washington around as an offensive spark-plug 3rd PG.
