BARON = BEARD, RIP = BEARD (sometimes)
facts:
baron is an explosive, but at times, streaky shooter. he can run and gun w/ the best. his strength is unparalleled and he knows how to use that brut force and penetrate like a beast and kick it out.
eric gordon, although a better shooter, is a duplicate of the above qualities and although he's a STAR and a definite cornerstone to the franchise, i think he would be better suited next year as our J. Terry/Barbosa/Ginobili 6th man spark off the bench.
i propose that we give grab a veteran SG that is has a SOLID shooting percentage...enter Rip Hamilton. the perfect companion to Baron Davis. a guard rotation of BD/Rip/ Gordo. giving Detroit Kaman for Rip would be ideal, but they might go for Randolph too.
tell me that Baron and Rip is not a better starting backcourt than BD and E. Gordon. i love Gordon, but we need depth and lots of it. we have a solid core down low (w/ the assumed addition of Griffin). but the backcourt needs help. this is the answer. do it. now.
