re: Mutual interest between Pels and Andray Blatche

Neither you or I have crystal balls when it comes to injuries. Smith has been banged up. But Blatche has missed time with injuries as well in the past. Smith's PER dropped because he was forced to start and played against starters. Blatche is a back-up that played against back-ups. He also did in the a weak conference surrounded by HOF players. I don't think Blatche would have even played much this year if Lopez hadn't got hurt.
There is going to be 3-4 other bigs to divide up that 28 minutes a game. I don't see the reason for a big money guy, unless there is a trade or injuries. This team has too many big money guys and not enough role players. If Blatche had an overwhelming skill (rebounds, blocked shots, etc), I might think about it. But he doesn't. He's just an average big. We already have two guys above average. It's a waste of money to add that type of guy..

Give AD 35mpg, Ryno 33, and that's still 28 minutes available for Blatche. Obviously Withey and Ajinca are going to get some minutes, but if the goal is to make the playoffs, those 3 are going to get ~95% of the minutes when they get there
