Contingency idea for depth at center

[GreenDreamer]

I never saw much of Swift before Summer League, and I have to say, after this last game, I don't think he belongs in the NBA. As a 4th year vet, his defense on Hibbert was grade school. Some of the worst post D I've ever seen and I watched Big Al his rookie season and Chris Anderson vs. Pau Gasol.

I think that he's been getting mixed reviews, to be sure. I was also wondering if anyone knew what the deal was with Sasha Pavlovic. Wouldn't mind having him here. Have the Cavs let him walk? Did he go back to Europe? Certainly better than what we've got here.

He's on the Suns after the Shaq trade. He'd be a ndecent option if they waive him (if they waive a non-guaranteed contract does it still count against the Suns cap?). He was a pretty decent defender on Pierce, and I'm sure he knows how to defend Bron after practicing against him for years.

The bit about LeBron is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I like him, and his familiarity with Bron would come in very handy.

Yeah, but do they suck more or less than Tony? I ask that because Tony really, really sucks. How bad does he suck? he managed to amass a -53 plus/minus in the playoffs despite playing only 9% of the team's minutes, which worked out to a -42 per 48 minute mark. He made Mikki Moore look tolerable in comparison. He is simply awful. A basketball moron.

I'm looking at him as being an expiring contract because I don't see how any team would actually want him as a player.

You have a way of butchering quantitative reasoning. You should work for a political campaign.

I'm not saying Tony is good, or that any numbers prove he is. But these numbers you site ... good god that's terrible logic.

Pavlovic is a Sun and since he is perfect for their style of ball and on an expiring contract they are not going to waive him.

floyd perfectly covered the part about TA.

Pavlovic's contract next season is only partially guaranteed. They'd save $3.5M by waiving him ($1.5M of the $5M he is due is guaranteed), so I wouldn't totally rule it out.

Yeah it wasn't my opinion, I thought he was going to get waived as well, I thought it was in the wiretap but it was from somwhere else that said they wouldn't waive him.

The Suns are scattered brained not cheap. They want to continue to be a great franchise they are just trying to do it under the lux tax. I think they look to teams like CHI and DEN even POR and that is what they want to be younger and cheaper but still a playoff team.

I am not saying that they won't cut him but my guess is they are going to explore all their options as opposed to the forgone conclusion that it was assumed to be.
