    This all makes sense to me. I've generally been more pro-Rui than pro-Vando, but Luka has changed every calculation. I'm much more interested now in keeping Vando around than Rui.

    I like Rui though, it just seems like the shot attempts are going to be reduced. Scoring is his major attribute, and his salary could land a quality 5. Rui and Shake puts pretty much every decent 5 in reach.

    you are right, but like Rob said it's probably worth waiting for the summer instead of rushing to a deal.

    For this team and JJ .... now, for all the reasons others have said about the types of mobile athletic centers Luka works so well with, many of whom have like the 250lbs and up bodies to bang with too .... our problem being to land one of them as soon as possible without over paying with our remaining players.
