  1. He fits perfectly of course, but I question why Memphis let him go and I always prefer a player to have a training camp in this offense. No matter how smart a vet is, you ain't coming in here and magically keeping the synchronization going on the fly. We're only as strong as the weakest link on both ends. Bud probably gives players required reading and life goals off the floor, all types of sh&t before you're sworn into "The Group".

    Prince would bring more to the table than jj, and ap.

    Plus he has playoff experience you still have half a season to get him prepared

    to play. Veteran defense becomes very valuable come playoff time.

  2. What if bazemore or selfish for down then what? Defense wins championships. And you can never have enough of it. That's like saying I have four good tires why do I need a spare.

    Thing is, if you have a "well oiled machine" how can you screw it up? Well maybe by bringing in a guy who can't really do anything much better than your young guys are already doing - and taking minutes away from them.

    Sure Prince would be a nice guy to have, but in most well run organizations you go with the guys who have proved themselves. There is a kind of a hierarchy which stays in place unless somebody starts screwing up.

    Our locker room seems to be a "solid unit" from what we are told, but they are still all human beings and some are likely more friendly with one guy than the next. You bring in an "old vet" who will take some of Baze's and Thabo's and DMC's minutes and you may just F things up.

    Personally, I think we have adequate "veteran leadership" with Millsap, AL, Korver and to some degree Jeff.

  3. Green is just not very good.  His career .531 TS% (.520 TS% last year) screams "empty numbers on bad teams" about his scoring.  He doesn't do much other than score and grab a few boards.  Tweener on D.  No way I would give up Horf for him?  Him putting up a career high 16.4 PER and an above average (for him) sub .100 WS/48 doesn't help him when you go to the "total value" metrics.  He is perfect to be a lead scorer on a bad team or a "won't move the needle" starter on a good team.

    Same can be said about Kyle

    You put green Kyle and Dennis on floor together

    and don't forget the 7+ footer Walter Tavares and AP

    along with Avery Bradley defense and scoring
