Rob Pelinka Discussion: BBall Ops Pres + GM (AKA: Lucky Rob)

I think you're underestimating the work it will take to get out of some of these contracts if we need to. We still have Vando, even though he hasn't been part of the rotation for years, and these are potentially more damaging contracts if the guys don't perform.

 

Vando was paid off the hope he could develop his offensive game.

I would argue that both Sandro and Grimes are paid fairly for what they can produce today. Like if Grimes puts both sides of the ball together for the first time in his career. He is a 38% 3 pt shooter, a good defender (especially chasing shooters and navigating screens) and he can run the offence and create on ball. That's worth 25m per.

Sandro is a two way floor spacing big that does everything pretty well. I'm not sure if he has any more room to develop, but if he just keep shooting and be at the right place at the right time, that's worth the contract.

Sexton will be a useful part of the rotation in the regular season. He is a Kennard replacement basically. Guy will let it fly, expect 6+ attempts at 40%. When the playoffs get tight, I think he'll be benched.

Basically we looked at the advanced stats and realised that if we added a few key profiles, teams wouldn't be able to slow down our offence. It's a shame we don't have another stud defensive wing until Carr & Adou develop.

 

We win a championships or two over the next few years this contract will seem pretty insignificant.

 

lol

 

Lots of work to be done still this summer. I am indifferent on Pelinka. Could be worse could be better.

Now need a C and a wing. Clock is ticking.

 

we literally got a starting center and a small ball center backup. There is also DA.

EDIT; LOL just saw that we traded DA for picks, essentially. LOL
