The Insane Potential of Mo Bamba

[PrimeThyme]

I personally have no real issues with how Bamba has been used.

He’s been pretty terrible on both ends of the floor. Dazzling flashes of potential here and there, but virtually no positive impact statistically yet.

Vucevic has been great and Bamba has played every single game. I don’t see any issue with it whatsoever.

I'm not bothered by it either. He isn't ready yet and this team is trying to win games. I don't want to see it dip below 15 mpg but I'm content with where it is now.

He is not like Isaac and isn't ready to make contributions on a consistent enough basis to a winning team. I have my doubts that he will be next year either which is why I would be fine with a 1-year contract for Vuc as well.

Vuc ain't taking a 1 year deal.. this is likely his last chance at a big pay day. We better be ready to see him get 15-18 M for 3/4 years.

Maybe not. Vuc on a 3-year team friendly deal that could easily be moved wouldn't be the worst idea ever either imo. Bamba wont be ready to start for a year or two .

Again why would he take a teak friendly deal? he did that this past year and all we've tried to do is ship him out the last 4 years. I'll be shocked if he's here past ASB honestly. Its a L/L situation for us if we keep him.

I actually wouldn't even be opposed to bringing Vucevic back for big money on a 1-2 year deal.

Go into free agency and sign a starting PG like Russell and then use Vucevic's bird rights to bring him back on something like a 1 or 2 year deal at 20-25M a year to continue to be a bridge for Bamba?

I'd be fine with it if what he's shown this year is what he's going to be for the next 2-3 years.

Whether Vuc likes it or not, there still isnt much of a market for a center that struggles to defend the pick and roll and that doesn't provide much rim protection. I think his lack of trade value these past couple of years shows that. 15-18 for 3 years seems about right for him. Keeping Vuc which allows us to stay competitive while Bamba develops doesn't seem like a loss to me.
