However, this team alreadyhas depth at PF...they have a million PFs. meanwhile, early is the only back up for melo at the 3. it makes sense to keep the vet outlaw at 3 until early gets comfy. DLeague for wear until amare or bargs gets hurt (which will most likely happen)

I thought that initially, but then I read that at this stage of his storied career, Outlaw is considered and has been playing as a stretch PF (Kind of worrying for a player who can't shoot and is lanky and undersized!). We can play Shump, JR and Tim Jr at SF (will help ease the number crunch for those guys too), and we have Early too. SO I'd go with keeping Wear.

How come I read some pieces saying Wear was too lanky or needed to bulk up? He looked okay, I thought

He looks great

He looked exactly the same gameplay wise in the preseason game as he did in that video!

Plus I think keeping him and cutting Outlaw sends a good message to the team.
