Bc he was free and will help the whole environment.
I have no issue with adding a vet to replace Kevin Love as the "break glass" big. I think that's a helpful idea. But, that's not really what you're advocating for. I'm just pushing back on the idea that it's some necessity to add a big to get regular rotation minutes.
I do wonder if Goldin will have an opp for that role.
When the depth chart only has 3 legit rotational players in the front court and a two way i think you need more then just a break in case big. Goldin should be viewed as that. If we get Vucevic there’s no reason he can’t get 15-20 min off the bench in a 4 man big rotation. Similar to when Kelly Olynyk was here.
20 mpg for a Vucevic would mean 28 mpg total for Bam and Wade at Center.
As a rookie, Ware averaged over 22 mpg. And it was more like 25+ once he became a staple in the rotation.
Unless he falls off, it should absolutely be a priority to continue to have him grow in his role. If Ware is at 25 mpg, then that would leave 3-5 mpg of Bam at Center. Meaning for Bam to play 35 mpg, he would need to play at least 30 mpg exclusively at PF.
Leaving no more than 18 mpg for Jovic. That would be a disservice to his development. Jovic averaged 25 mpg last season.
I think your unnatural disdain for Haywood Highsmith is just rearing its ugly head again lol
Spo will still lean towards rotation minutes with the likes of Wiggins and Highsmith as the pseudo PF for stretches.
Develop youth.
Luka could’ve also been recruiting Bam, or who knows, maybe they all just chilled over the weekend lol
