I agree that it's a lousy decision but both weren't brought as players that Maccabi counts on but as bonuses to an existing roster so it's not so bad, Smith and Pnini were planned to share the time on SF and wheh Casspi leaves they can still do it, same goes to Farmer (although more problematic with Pargo expected to leave but still there will be a replacement to Pargo) So I, just like you guys don't really like these signings but as long as they're brought as additions to an existing squad and not as main parts in the squad with no replacement, it's not as bad. But still I see a problem with the team making adjustments after (and if) they'd leave.

Is not necessary to have a top-top playmaker to win the euroleague if you are full in the other 4 positions. The most recent example is Barcelona who won the Euroleague with Rubio being the starter in PG. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Well, except for Barca all other teams that won lately had a top-level PG (not my thing I remember reading it somewhere <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ) Saras with Barca 2003 and Maccabi 2004&2005, Papaloukas with CSKA 2006, DD with Pao 2007, Papa again in 2008, DD again (with help from Saras) in 2009 Rubio as the exception in 2010 and DD again in 2011
