Steve Bulpett offers some nice news and notes today. Some highlights:
My take: They've been saying all along that they are looking for a veteran point guard, so that is no great surprise. The fact that they are indeed willing to use Banks to dump Blount is a bit of a revelation. I still wonder if Eric Snow is a potential fit (equal salary to Blount). However, if the C's are intent on dumping Blount's salary and only taking on a shorter contract in return, I'm not sure what they can get. I think if they can't get a PG for Blount and Banks, the fallback plan is probably to use the semi-annual exception ($1.5M) on a minor free agent.
