Don't like that deal. Both Cato and Christie are over 30 years old and they don't really make our team that much better right now.
do you like Jerome James at 5 years & $30 million? personally i think Cato's a better player than Jerome James...certainly a better defender, gives you more consistent effort on both ends of the floor, & can block shots with the best of them...i'd easily make that trade if i could...Christie is another player who can add a nice element to this team, mainly perimeter defense.
No, I've hated the Jerome signing from the beginning. For 2 or 3 years I would have been fine with it, 5 years is too much though. The thing is, I don't see how you can make this deal now instead of waiting till the deadline for a firesale. Now that we have Jerome, I think him and Frye have to get minutes at the 5. With Cato here that would mean less minutes for Frye and thats the last thing I would want for our team. Christie would be our best perimeter defender but our backcourt is crowded enough as it is and its not like we have old guards crowding it. Stephon, Crawford, Nate, and Richardson will take care of those minutes and if you add Christie is just becomes more crowded. Plus, he has us giving Orlando a pick in this deal. I just don't get why we should make a deal like this right now.
