Payne looking good tonight. Maybe Brunson expendable?

False analogy...gotcha. Put another way, how many bigs we gonna keep and is Robinson necessarily one of them given his inability to create his own offense, his salary, and his fragility? What does Robinson bring that we can't get from the other guys for a fraction of the cost? Don't get me wrong, I like Mitch but--

Ok, Robinson's a better rebounder (serious) and FT shooter (sad).

Cam with 16pt and 8ast. He looked great and brings the fire we need.

Huk looked great and like usual his stats won't show it.

Kolek with 7pt 9ast and 8 reb.

Pacome with an amazing game. 16pts 5rebs

I'm on the Huk wagon, but it's been 4 preseason games (against bad teams, minus 5 minutes vs. Minny's bench). Sims may not be in the NBA next year. Mitch is an elite defender and rebounder in the NBA. Much of our offense is based on offensive rebounds - which Mitch does better than most.

There's simply no comparison, unless you want to say none of them can hit a FT. We just like to play out-of-sight, out-of-mind. We do it every year.

Mitch is fragile and is on a contract that reflects that. If he averaged 70 games a year, he'd have gotten 100M+ contact. Is he replaceable? Sure, but not by Sims or rookie Huk. That's just disrespectful.

It’s hard to disrespect a player who doesn’t play.

I should know but is this the last year of Robinson's contract? I'd hate to lose him and get nothing in return. Conversely, I'm not enamored of a massive overpay to keep a guy with his well-known shortcomings and injury history. I agree that Huk and Sims (with his dubious NBA future) can make the exponential improvement to even make this a consideration. No intent to disrespect (even if it came off that way).
