I don't think T-Rob brings anything positive so i guess I'll go with MWP

Even if T-Rob finds a slight niche on the defensive end, he can be a poor man's Tristan Thompson. I love Metta but he should seriously consider investing in a suit rather than sneakers and find a clipboard to get on Luke's coaching staff. He is cooked as a player.

I agree that T-Rob at this point is a more effective player than MWP, but I also think that there is value to the veteran presence, and this team is heavily lacking in those veterans. Luol Deng and Calderon are your veterans, I don't think that's enough personally.
I also don't think that the production T-Rob could offer is better than the impact MWP can have on the young players, especially defensively.
As long as MWPs minutes are severely limited, I'm ok with him being here

Robinson, and it's not even close.
Brings some much needed athleticism and rebounding. Knows his game, knows his limitations, plays within that. He's a developing player that under the right coaching staff should flourish. Still very young (25 years old).

As a player T.Rob hands down however with such a log jam at the 4 and 5, I have no idea where he'll find play time. I can see Metta being fine with receiving no play time and fully embracing the mentor role so I'm almost forced to go with him. Like Slava pointed out I wish he would do so in a suit instead of trying to do so as a player.

I haven't seen Robinson play. However to answer the question quite literally, I'd like to see him make the roster more than MWP just because he is younger. Its almost a given that the FO and coaching staff will choose whoever is the most ready, and based on age, I hope that Robinson shows that he is more ready to be a contributor that MWP. If he does, we could get another steal.
On the other hand, also a strong chance that none of the 2 make the final 15.

I vote for Robinson and I hope MWP stays in the team as a special coach.

I love Metta, but Robinson is a no-brainer to keep for me.
