Don't know enough about his ego to comment and he did get punched this year by a teammate which is a very bad look considering the team stood up for the puncher. I do think we have a strong HC and locker room so he'd either buy in or sit on the end of the bench.
What good is a rental who sits on the end of the bench? why bring in a guy who isnt better then what you have for 3 months if he could potentially cause issues? 0 upside and we shouldnt be renting guys anyhow in our position.
As for a player I think you are a bit harsh on him. He's not a terrible defender just not all that great and probably not all that motivated in NO. It's amazing what some winning and effort will do on D. I think you are highly overrating Carroll's defense. He's not really great either. Mirotic is a much better offensive player then Carroll and I love his effort and energy. Mirotic can light it up and do it at an efficient clip when motivated.
Carroll is undeniably better on both ends... and offensively doesnt need a ton of touches. Mirtotic is only good with touches and doesnt do the things we need from our 4 man... driving and moving without the ball. its as bad a fit as possible.
I get the risk but getting the motivated Mirotic would be a nice offensive spark and would fit nicely in our offense.
I'm not giving anything up other then an expiring like Dudley and a future 2nd though.
I do want to see this team fully healthy though with Graham playing well at the 4 and Crabbe and Levert back in the rotation.
i wouldnt give up just dudley. dudley does more for this team in street clothers then mirotic would on the floor. id need to get paid to take on mirotic. also, i dont want to trade for a guy who isnt motivated on his current team and got punched in the face on his prior team. guy is a low level role player
