"Want" is a relative thing, yeah?
I want a better fit than Dinwiddie starting next to Luka. I want to improve on Bullock. I want a version of Wood (who can play any style offensively, in theory) who's good enough defensively to anchor a team as a solo big, so as not to be forced to rely on one-dimensional players like McGee.
It's never done, probably. We'll always want things. I might be wrong, but I just don't see how this team will make it even 20 games without a competent PG on the roster. To me, this is about need. I mean, as much of a 180º I've done on Dinwiddie (I was way wrong about him - he's one of my favorites now, especially on-ball as a scorer) I'm not even sure he can actually play PG in the way I'm envisioning.
We're certainly going to find out.
