Didn't realize Teletubby is 30. Thought he'd be somewhere between 25-26. Even Scola wasn't that old when he came to us.
If you have seen the play-offs, you don't want Marvin as your starter. He can play in the regular season as a back up maybe.
The difference between Whiteside vs Batum/Conley is they aren't the same price. Whiteside starts at around 20m, whereas Batum/Conley start at around 25m. Another small note is age. Whiteside is the youngest at 26, Batum at 27, and Conley at 28. So I'd be worried about having to pay Conley at 32yo a 30+mill contract. Batum not as much but 30+mill for Batum is rich. But with whiteside I think you get to like 24-25m his final year? I can live with that.
People get too caught up in the short term memory bank. He really didn't play well but it was just one series. He has played well during the playoffs in the past and was good all year long. People go thru funks and it was surely an unfortunate time for him to go in a spell but I won't totally dismiss him for it. Before we got harden he sucked in his last playoff series against the heat. If we follow your logic we should have never got him. But he had past success and played well all season long so Morey took it for what it was. A slump and/or bad matchup. Gotta be objective
Teletovic has a silky jumper. Sure Marvin can do alot of 'little' things, but this team doesnt need more glue guys. This team needs a damn assassin that makes teams pay for double teaming or sinking into the paint. Yes please.
