Yeah, I liked what Kenny did last year but I still think it had a large 
element of being significantly better than anyone else we played at the 
point rather than being a perfect solution in itself. I'm not 100% sure we 
want him back anyway. Reports out of Seattle are a return to the old, bad 
Kenny and how long would it take him to get over that if we brought him 
back? It took him years while he was here before. Walker has clearly and 
eagerly EMBRACED the idea of being a lot more in control of what goes on on 
the court. Kenny comes back and one or the other of them is not going to be 
happy - Kenny because Walker's role remains expanded, Walker because some 
of his fun is getting taken away and he feels he'd do a better job of some 
of the decision making. There's also the defense argument. I don't think 
anyone is seriously going to argue that the defense improves with Kenny at 
the point and you can't do offense/defense swaps for the entire game. You 
could argue that failure to guard Kidd was the decider in that series, even 
though there were other problems.
