I just want to compare-
Now:
PG-Baron Davis
SG-David Wesly
SF-George Lynch
PF-Pj Brown
C-Jamal Magloire
After:
PG-Baron Davis
SG-Jalen Rose
SF-Vince Carter
PF-PJ Brown
C-Jabari Smith(6-11, 240)
I'm going for worst case center. Now does Magloire defend better than Jabari? I don't know, Magloire isn't exactly known for his defense. I know he's not quicker, few people are slower. Mags isn't any bigger.
You lose a 10 ppg scorer, and gain two 20+ per game scorers.
It's not like trading Magloire means we play with four people next year. Shoot, we could sign a 7 foot plus guy and actually gain size. Magloire is kindof undersized really.
And again, this is only ONE year. Who knows what the future holds?
