It is that time of a year that we need to sit down and evaluate the year and our players. Let me start by saying that I think it was a great year for this team. They moved some bad contracts, improved the defense and gained valuable experiences.
Ross: Not a starting Caliber SF in this league yet. Right now, he is showing potential for being a very solid 6th man in the future but not a star in this league. Time to improve that position if we want to compete for real next year.
Amir: Solid first big off the bench. He just does not have the ability to be a starter at that position. He disappeared in many games this season and this team needs a solid low post scorer. He still does not have control on his fouling. One good game this play off and almost fouling out in the early 3rd quarter. Not good for as a starting PF but he would be a good option for 6 per year as a 1st big off the bench.
Big Val: Some potential but needs a lot more work.
DD: A solid #2 on a championship team … He can play Robin to any of the batmen’s in this league and do a great job. 10 million is a reasonable contract for him.
Lowry: Solid #2 or #3 in a championship. He has his flaws and they have been discussed here. Anything more than 10 per year will be a waste of the money.
Vasquez: Decent 2nd PG. Maximum 5 million per year.
Patterson: Great 2nd big off the bench. Maximum 4-5 million per year.
Rest of the team are just parts to fill up the roster. Based on this, we need to improve SF, PF and back up center positions if we are serious about wining. Also, this team needs a STAR and none of the players have that STAR potential.
