Dalembert is a better backup C than anyone on the roster. He's also better defensively than JV. I don't see a huge downside, though he'll end up somewhere else first.

You can live with stupid or lazy when you have absolutely zero viable back up centers besides Amir, who isn't even a center and he can't stay on the court for his injuries. Dalembert's lousy offense I can live with. It's not that the team feeds its bigs anyway.

TeamEd wrote: View PostOh, I'm with you there. Bebe seems like he has long term potential to be the kind of mobile, help oriented big that the Raps system needs to succeed. Amir's currently the only guy the Raps have in that role. Sam Dalembert is just a pretty low risk option as a backup to JV considering the Raps have absolutely no viable backup besides shifting Amir over to center.
*Put another way, I'd rather try to play situationally to try and offset physical limitations than have to count on someone with mental/motor limitations.

Turning this into unofficial "this guy's been waived, thoughts on whether he's worth pursuing" thread, what do people think of Nate Wolters?
Not like he's a blue chip prospect or anything, but from what I saw last year, he could have solid backup PG potential. I know the first thought is...."fuck man, he was waived to add Kenyon Martin, he must be total garbage"....but a quick glance at some Milwaukee fan comments shows a lot of anger over the move. Was a victim of circumstance. The Bucks have too many guards, they're playing well enough to make a playoff run, and lack depth up front.
Would it make sense to add him as a 3rd PG for the rest of the season? I'd be all for it I think, as long as we can do it without going into the tax.

The whole " getting dropped for a guy older than your dad" thing is a big question mark, but maybe he comes here, fits in well with the whole #ProveEm movement and it works out great.
Anything is better than the hot mess that is GVA key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock

And to me, we'd be adding him as a 3rd PG ideally. I don't think you want Wolters, who hasn't played much this season, coming in as the primary backup for a playoff-bound team. Likely just means Lowry's minutes will go up and he'll get worn out. I do like the idea of having him as insurance, and developing him as best we can.
What I have seen and heard about Wolters suggest...he's not a bad shooter so there could be upside in that aspect. He's a good passer. He plays under control, and understands how to change speeds. He can take care of the ball. He has a good compete level. Limited athlete though (but not as bad as you'd think). Defensive concerns (can't be worse than Vasquez).

I bet this never happens if Kidd isn't friends with Martin, too. Wolters was buried on the bench, and the Bucks needed some help up front. Looked at some comments from Bucks fans, and they are not happy. Not necessarily because they think Wolters would be amazing, but because it's a stupid short-sighted move where they shed youth for a washed up vet who probably can't contribute.

Assuming Steamer gets dropped to make room?A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock

He did that in Denver and he seems to have started taking that approach in Toronto (ie: Bebe & Bruno).A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock
