Agree Childress is the better player but I think Evans is the best fit:
- Provides so much needed 3pt shooting, outside of JJ and Bibby who else can shot the 3. Will open the defense and create space to score inside.
- Play perimeter defense, we don't have perimeter stoppers.
- Will not steal as much minutes from Marvin as JC did, simply as one stole the minutes from the other none of them could achieve his full potential.
- Marvin and Childress were similar players wing players with no outside game. You need different options to win games. We cannot afford to have 50% of our wing players not capable of shooting behind the arc, that is ridicolous.
- 2,5 M$ for a bench guy is the right thing, you just cannot pay 8M$ to a bench guy that is impacting the development of one of your up and coming young players.
I think the right way for this team should be more FA signings like Evans, cheap proven bench players that strength your team while keeping your salary low and present an attractive core for FA to sign with this team.
Try to think this way, for 2010 summer when all the star FA will come out you could have had a team with a young core of Law, JJ, Marvin and Horford and bench players like Duhon, Evans, Hermann, Fazekas and Kwame Brown all of them signed for 2M$ maximum that gives you a cap space of around 25M$, would not be a place you will consider if you are for example Chris Bosh?
