If vucevic shows this playoff series that he can be a weapon, we resign him. If he's played off the court we don't. We shouldn't look at this situation as Vuc vs Bamba. It's entirely "is vucevic capable of being the starting center of a team that can get into the second round". If that answer is "no", given his age we should move on. Truth. And to add to that, if we determine Vooch is worth re-signing, we have to test the trade market on Bamba. Would be foolish not to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the market isn't good enough to move him and we can just develop him as the backup but it doesn't make sense to have a deep 9 at the expense of your top 6.

Both have us getting to 40 wins which means we need 3 more. We should beat NY and ATL Hopefully BOS will be resting starters Next 2 games are the most key ones, IMO. DET and IND will be the deciders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be foolish not to No. If you resign VUC for 2-3 years, you let bamba develop. vuc will be 29 with only 1 great season on his belt. you cannot tie the future to him using only this season sample size. No need to trade bamba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be foolish not to Not necessarily. Vuc is 28 (29 in October), Bamba is only 21. If Vuc starts declining as Bamba is improving then we may have the perfect "overlap" of starting caliber. We have already seen Oladipo and Harris get traded early and come to regret it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense The only way I'm resigning vucevic is if we determine he's the long term starting center. If he's not the long term starting center you don't resign him. If vucevic is the long term starting center it means Bamba is only getting 16 mpg for a while. From a value standpoint it might make more sense to see if you could have Birch or a replacement level center as backup while you flip Bamba, our first, and Fournier for a fournier upgrade or something like that. Not like you'd just dump Bamba for a 2020 first or something like that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
