re: Gentry Finally Talks about Ryno

it's more because of how much we are already paying our front court (about 42 mil per year between AD/Ajinca/Asik)

Ajinca and Asik are making appropriate amounts percentage wise. If Ryno can do the same on his next deal how is this any different than when we first got Asik and had fantasies about a perfectly balanced 3 big rotation? I don't recall anyone saying "This will work as long as AD's on his rookie contract but after that we have to break it up."

Despite being terrible on defense, Ryno + AD has lead to some great numbers. If Gentry and his staff can highlight the positive and minimize the negatives of this group, the opposite of what Monty was able to do, how are they too expensive unless someone throws a near max at Ryno? Sure you don't keep Ryno over KD, and probably not even over Batum, but if you don't end up getting a big money SF upgrade, it's not like we should just let him walk.
