I believe we're also on the verge of signing Jason Kidd. May be up there in age, but makes for a very solid backup PG to Jeremy Lin. Much better than Mike Bibby and/or Toney Douglas. Also a veteran leader who Lin can learn and develop his leadership ability under. Marcus Camby is also meeting with both the Heat and Knicks. Chances are, he'll go with Miami like Ray Allen, but having Camby as a backup Center to Tyson Chandler (Defensive Player of the Year) for 9-12 minutes per game could help out depth down low. Getting Shumpert's defensive ability back should be nice. Hopefully that injury hasn't destroyed his career before it started. I'm not sure if we'll ever eliminate Miami during the playoffs, but I'm just glad we have a playoff team to root for. Land a top 4 seed, and at least give us hope heading into the 2nd round. That's all I can ask for, is a 1st round advancement this up coming season. It's been a while.
