We need 5 on 5 on the court at all times

Just granting that your assumption about the defense is correct, why does that preclude us from even signing Hayes and Mutombo? Both are serviceable defenders who play hard and bring a great attitude to the team both on and off the floor. They were both rotation players who contributed greatly to the team at various times last year. But you think we shouldn't even re-sign them, despite the fact that they will come at a relatively low cost?

Hayes produced for the first two games during playoff, and Deke nothing. I would pass them if our goal is for more than first round.

As I've said Chuck is a contributor, however, he provides the same as Ryan Bowen who we cut when we found Chuck as an upgrade. That's Morey's job to upgrade.

Chuck's going to be in dog fight to get minutes during the season, Chris Webber made an allstar living off of hitting the 15 foot jumper and bankshot. FYI, he doesn't hustle at all in comparison to Chuck, yet makes $4mln more, because some team will offer him the mid level exception. Offense wins in todays NBA.

Ryan Bowen is not Chuck Hayes. Ryan Bowen played 10 mpg for Houston, Hayes earned 20+ last season. Hayes is an excellent rebounder and very strong. Bowen has some atheleticism and willingness to hustle, but he is not a rebounder and is rather slender.

Totally different players.
