Heat in trouble at point

The Heat are in trouble at point guard. The names the Herald listed today are stopgap measures at best—Jannero Pargo, Tyron Lue, Kenyon Dooling and Carlos Arroyo among others. One thing the playoffs this year showed was the importance of having strong point guard play. It will get a team into the second round of the playoffs. After that the star power takes over, no matter where the position. The Heat won’t be going anywhere with a backup point guard playing as a starter. Not sure what the real problem is with Jason Williams, considering what the Heat is looking at right now. He can’t be any worse of an option than those other guys, who all are considered solid backups. Also there are some teams with too many point guards, like Indiana, who apparently has fallen out of favor with Jamal Tinsley after once being deemed one of Isaiah Thomas’ pet projects. Thomas had a lot of pet projects in New York and the Knicks now have a lot of point guards with all of them seeming to be on the way out. Any of them are better options than the names mentioned at the top.
