Marvin is better than McBob, & worth what he's making. The problem is he doesn't fit this team at all. He's a SF, not a PF. Especially when he's beside Big Al. If he's playing with a Center that provides a defensive presence you can play him at PF.

It's not his fault he's playing out of position. This is a terrible roster fit-wise.

"Better than" is a relative term in this case.

If you're skill set doesn't fit what a particular team or company does than you are not "better".

Personally, I think we should have just given Cody the reigns. If he works out great, if not then sign Millsap in the offseason.

14 mil is a lot to throw out to a guy with a very limited skill-set.

He was 3/5 from the field. What do you want? How much do you expect him to score when Lance, Kemba, & Al are all taking 15-20 shots a game?

McBob is so overrated on this board. He was a black hole on defense, couldn't rebound, a poor 3pt shooter despite getting wide open looks, etc. He made flashy passes and flashy dunks off broken plays. That's literally all he was good at. And he's making more than Marvin.

Lol @ this post.

Marvin sits in the corner and shoots three's. He has no ability to beat anyone off the dribble even though he's matched up against slower power forwards. He literally has no feel for our offense and it's clear that his catch and shoot skill set doesn't fit what we need at the power forward position. Notice down the stretch tonight it was Zeller getting the burn due to his ability to facilitate and move the ball in our offense.

As for McBob being a black whole on defense... Did you even watch any games last year? McBob's and MKG's wing defense literally made Al look like a competent defender last year. On top of that he was our point guard (forward), the offense ran through him. Sure swinging the ball sounds easy, but when you have Lance out there fumbling passes and Kemba going iso every possession, it's pretty easy to see why McBob was so important. Not to mention McBob is a better rebounder than Marvin (check the stats) and while he wasn't a great three point shooter, he was an efficient offensive player. Finally, he's making more total than Marvin but cap wise Marvin is making $2 mil more (which is the only thing that truly matters).

Oh and did I mention, even Clifford and Jordan said McBob is what made all the parts fit together.

That speaks for itself.

      I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.

      I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
