I could see Demps trying to maintain that flexibility rather than commit big money to Matthews or Crabbe, even though those guys could help improve our team. Let's not forget Rondo is still a top 10 PG and probably the best pure PG, even though we got him cheap this season, he is still a huge addition to this team and if he play as expected we will need space to pay him next offseason.
Edit: Also our wing situation really isn't that bad, IF Qpon is as healthy as he's putting on, IF Darius Miller is no longer gun shy, they would be 2 really good backups to Hill. I could see Grits and Moore sharing the backcourt together off the bench, they are both combo guards and Moore started at PG for Chicago for awhile. They are both shooters off the bench. Really everybody on the team are plus shooters besides Rondo and Asik.
Where we're struggling at is those 2 useless centers off the bench, if we're going to use picks it should be to get those 2 off the payroll.
