Sometimes you just have to find that talent who fits a need and put it all together. Maybe James White is that for us or maybe is a guy we will sign in the future.
I think he is that type of person, that would fit in with our players and grind out philosophy.
He doesn't play for get stats, he is pure heart and hustle, and is just a solid player.
He does not take bad shots and is a team player.
I really like Brandon Rush, as I think his defense would compliment Iman and now TC/Camby.
He is 6'6 can play SG/SF, athletic, long reach, plays tough, and hit 3point shot at a very good % last year.
He was one of the leading guards on the league last year that did a little of everything.
His playing time was inconsistent and mainly played 20-25minutes but when he did play starter minutes he was great.
As G/F defended the hardest guy, grabbed a good amount of RBs, scored 10-20pts a game, with 1-3 combined steals/block per game with his length.
For the 2 future 2nd round picks, 2.1m cash for TD salary * we might as well give Houston the full 3m, Jorts *has unique skills for a big with potential*, Jordan *not sure how to evaluate him without seeing if he improved*
I would have settled with Lee though, he is still a good role player
Courtney Lee is a smaller player and not as strong as Rush, but he put up greater numbers.
Honestly, for what we gave Houston, we should have just thrown in Gadzuric, and the full 3m for a S&T for Lee with Camby.
But Camby wanted to make more than the 3m and Lee wants a decent long term deal.
I am not sure, but I think something could have been worked out.
Since Lee wasn't extended a qualifying offer, Houston has no interest in resigning him.
I don't know if Grunweld, Camby, or Lee couldn't make it work, or if Houston didn't want us to improve and continue screwing us.
By offering the extra 1m or so left, after TD contract, and Gadz contract being waived right after,
We should have got both players
Camby and Courtney Lee *to stick it to Nets, the damn that drafted him*
