re: Official Free Agency and Trade Thread: Latest Pels sign Charles Cooke to 2 way

Agreed on Cunningham and growth. But I also don't think you are likely to find a better proven player for that role with his $$.

like you say, it's a role of the dice. maybe they see someone they like/believe in more around his $$. if that's the case, they should go for it. weirdly, that guy just might be Justin Holiday

if they go into the season with dead roster spots in the front court with qpon/ajinca/asik again then they can't roll out hill and Cunningham.

why not? Both Hill and Cunningham had some of the best Net +/- when the Pels were playing small ball. You can try to recreate that success with Davis or Cousins as the 5 when the other is resting.

the trick will be who plays the 3 w/ both Davis + Cousins. that could be a problem give Hill and Cunningham's skill sets. but they aren't finding that sweet shooting 3, who can also do some work off the bounce, with their cap space this summer anyway.
