Neither Haywood nor Perkins will be back (and Marion is already gone). That's at least three open spots even if we keep (crosses fingers) all our free agents. I don't see any reason Christmas (if he's capable) couldn't take one of those spots.
Part of the problem in the playoffs was that half our bench was too old and unathletic to give us anything. Christmas is a run/jump athlete that can defend a little. We need him, and a wing (maybe it can be Sir'Eyenga or whatever his name is) of the same mold along with Mo Williams or whoever they bring in at PG.
Yeah, I don't see why one of the two players drafted couldn't stay. I am starting to wonder if JR will be back as well.
Sir'Dominic Pointer averaged 2.5 BPG and 1.9 SPG last year as a wing. That is impressive. The Cavs could use young legs at the end of the bench, something Miami didn't ever get around to doing.
