100% agreed & again not that any of the Vando supporters say he's the final answer....but he's at a very reasonable deal & is a guy with some upside still (not guaranteeing whether he'll achieve it, but way to early to just assume he is what he is).Klomp wrote:RiRuHoops wrote:So another offseason coming to an end and Rosas still got no starting PF ? wtf
The guy many Wolves fans went goo-goo, gah-gah over was Larry Nance Jr, a guy who has career-best years of 10/7 or 9/8. His best per36 season was 14.5/11.5.
Last year at age 21, Vanderbilt averaged 10.9/11.5 per36. Not that far off.
Now factor in that Nance cost a 1st to acquire his $10m salary, while Vanderbilt will make 40% of that and didn't cost a 1st.
In an earlier post, I asked if guys had specific examples of pf's that would lean towards the argument that he's an overpay....I spun thru a bunch of the rosters & I can't find a lot of examples (I did exclude rookie deals & ring chaser contracts)....the ones that I still found...I doubt we still would've been able to do when factoring in the MN FA tax (ie--Jeff Green isn't signing with us for the 4.5 that he did with Den).
Of course a starting pf is still a need...but resigning Vando doesn't keep us from getting that done & at the end of the day it's still most likely only to be resolved via draft or trade.
