Mark me down as fervently oppossed to your proposal to offload Mitchell Robinson.
Are you going to:
1) pay Mitch, Noel and Taj? Invest a bunch of money in C's?
(are we still paying Noah next year?)
2) Keep Mitch and let Noel go?
run with Mitch, Taj, Pelle
3) Let Taj go?
(mistake imo)
I'll take "If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It" For $500, Alex. Yes, next year is the final year of Noah's stretch [at $6.4 million],
and what of it?
You seem to think that "investing a bunch of money in centers" is a bad idea.
We part ways on THAT.
Pelle is a taller Theo Pinson, and a good insurance policy.
You seem to have forgotten how well Mitchell was playing when he got hurt.
And while both Nerlens and Mitchell are essentially rim protectors, their roles in the offense differ.
Since when is having 12 fouls to give a bad thing.
Finally, we do not know how Nerlens will approach the offseason, though I suspect his bond with his team mates, his growth under Thibs, and the allure of being part of something posisitve and on the rise in THE MECCA, will have some play on his thought process.
As for Taj, he was brought in to be situational and has excelled, whether in or out of the rotation. I don't believe Gibson will be expecting mega bucks.
