Vucevic has become a good defender with limited athleticism, if he can teach Bamba defensive positioning and reads with his athletic ability that would be massive, as would any of his offensive reads and moves.
We also need competition in the roster, for spots and minutes, keeping Vucevic only adds talent and depth and will give Bamba something to aim for and keep him working hard, especially with Birch behind him too.
Vucevic on a 4 year deal, ideally with a team option 4th year would be perfect for everyone, in my opinion.
I agree. If Bamba can figure out how to defend against Vucevic in practice, then he'll take that against other Centers. Vuc is the one of the most offensively gifted Centers n the NBA.
