Just how much better would a post injury Myles Turner be over Yurt?
Just how much better a 31 YO Barns is going to be in our system then a Highsmith?

Really good point, when you think about "fresh legs" versus "little things".... they do actually begin to add up.
One of the reasons I loved Martin this year was he did his job and applied himself 110%. Effort goes a hell of a long way. He got beat up by the end of the year and less then 100% Martin was not the same thing.
Experience and knowing how you can effect the game even when you are not at your best theoretically is what adds value to those accomplished vets.
I think the majority of the fan value in those players is the fear we have of being small. We see size killing us, and we fear it even more. So if the Heat can get a Myles Turner, it has get Spo closer to traditional line up is the mindset.
It only loosely falls into your post, but I am damn high on Highsmith. That is our next Robinson or Strus. I bet the dude rains this year.
