I'd say that Andre Miller still did better than Miles but he didn't play up to his expectations after leading the league in assists the year before. But Jeff Mcinnis was loss to the Clippers.

One of the worst trades was definitely Jerry Stackhouse for Richard Hamilton. Why trade for a guy who has to have the ball when you're a team who has Michael Jordan. And why trade for a guy who can opt out of his contract this summer.

good signing's......
Chauncey Billups - Troy Hudson - Jimmy Jackson - Keon Clark

best, imo...... Matt Harpring

disappointing signing's...... Larry Hughes and Rodney Rogers , i was expecting more than what they gave.
i would have said andre miller but he wasn't really a F.A pickup , but if you are counting them then i would also say that the vin baker deal was a major disappointment.
but the worst IMHO would be the knicks mcdyess trade, the knicks gave up marcus camby AND nene hilario for a crippled mcdyess.

Andre Miller was not a FA, he was in a trade. Camby has been plenty crippled. Vin...vin, vin, vin. Larry Hughes kind of has to go thorugh MJ and Stack to get any pt (nice try by saying he was playing point guard like I know you will. He can't, he's a two guard, and a decemt one at that.) Rodney Rogers is just getting too fat. The great Jimmy Jackson was exceptioanl considering he was signed partway through the season. Toronto is stupid. Sacramento is not. Keon is athletic and quick. I might actually like the Kings if Vlade, Christie, Peja, and Pollard left. Chauncey has proven to be clutch. Matt Harpring, definite canidate for MIP (too bad ricky davis will win.)

Stack can play w/o the ball.........in his last season in Detroit he averaged something like 18 shots per game (23ppg) which isn't all that much. The thing is Stack adjusted to Carlisles plan and Collins could of done it but, well Collins is clueless if he can't get MJ, Stack and Hughes into the playoffs

Billups was probably one of the best FA signings............averaged 23ppg in the last month and hit numerous game winners (leads the league in game winning or go ahead jumpers in the last 2mins of game)
