Is VC worth the Risk????
Is improving our frontcourt a more pressing issue? And if we do, like by adding a Camby, is AV going to Bolt in the Summer?
these are my questions for Danny Ferry? good luck to that guy...whew
Our frontcourt is more pressing. The back court has Mo and Delonte, both playing exceptional, with Boobie, Sasha, Wally, and Kinsey all as capable backups. The front court only has 33 year old Z and 34 year old Ben Wallace with Varejao as the only legit backup, and a young rookie in JJ. Plus, Delonte is playing much better than Ben is. So, our front court not only need the talent upgrade, but also the depth. I'm pretty sure it's a no brainer. The only way we look at our back court is if we can't get something done in our front court.
If we bring in Camby, AV would still probably get 28 minutes or so per night. Also, I think we could move AV into our starting PF role next year and move Ben to the bench. We don't know if AV is going to stay here for sure anyways. However, I believe we will have all the leverage with AV, and Camby only improves that position.
1) There aren't too many teams with 10+ million in cap space this offseason. With free agents like Boozer and Marion out there, who would go for AV as their first option?
2) Teams with cap space may want to hold on to it for next offseason (2010).
This means that it is HIGHLY unlikely anybody will pay AV more than we are willing to. If he threatens to hold out, we just play with Z, Ben, Camby, JJ, and Darnell for a while. I really think that there is no way we don't have leverage over AV this offseason.
Does that answer your questions?
