No thanks to Vince. Or to any other 30+ year old wing player who really isn't very good anymore.

Why is it necessary? And in what way does it have anything to do with the long term?Last edited by RepTdot; Sat May 16, 2015, 01:22 PM.

I can see it now..."why did we bring Wince back?! He's done and just wasting a bench spot. And we have to listen to Matt talk about how great he's been for the organization and ball in Canada every fucking game. Just another move made to make money instead of making the team better"...
*Also I feel like people are way overrating Vince's value as a "veteran leader". He's a good vet. A good team guy. But he's not a strong leader who will imprint some kind of competitive edge on youngsters. He is not what Minny is trying to get out of Garnett, for example.Last edited by white men can't jump; Sat May 16, 2015, 01:30 PM.

But otherwise, it's not going to make a tangible difference related to bringing him back after he retires. In fact, propping him up as a gimmick to sell tickets and jerseys may actually make it more difficult to bring him back after if it doesn't pan out too well. Could just generate more ill-will toward him...

Look at it at a 1yr/$6.35mil deal for the post career value of what that re-union would bring.
He's not a player that we should be targeting at all, but especially not for these reasons.
