It's seems to me pretty obvious that there are going to be costs for the longer term development of this squad that would result from making, and devoting practice time and in-game experience to those kinds of adjustments. That's not to say that the calculus of all this isn't debatable, but even that is largely true because this is a considerably more complicated issue than what most of the critics are making it out to be.

Good post. I didnt know that RC said that but that certainly explains why he isnt getting any PF minutes. As far as C minutes, it means he is, at best, competing with Sarge for the 3rd C behind Brand and Kaman.

Kidd to Dirk is the present day Stockton to Malone.
