Dumars wants neither it seems, and that's disappointing because we have the first ingredients to a championship team already - a dominant defensive center in Andre Drummind. I was one of the fans who wanted Drummind while everybody was saying he was a bust.

Miami had Lebron James, essentially a pass first player. I don't think Knight will not be successful, but I do not think he will be successful without an elite coach. Even as great as Billlups was he couldnt get past the East again without Larry Brown, another genius level coach. San Antonio and LA had Phil Jackson and Popovich, genius level coaches.

Replacing starters, giving the bench more time... Not only is this good for most players, it's helps the front office determine our needs. For a bad team, we've been interesting to follow this year.  I’m really excited about all of the rotation tinkering that Frank is doing this year.

He said today that he'd like to see Stuckey running point with Knight at off guard. That'd free Knight up to be the scorer that he should be and send Singler to the bench, where he should be. Also call me crazy but with that lineup and how CV has been playing, I'd prefer to see him starting over Maxiell, though not over Drummond obviously. Maybe Will Bynum should be the coach.
