Diop 5 years, 32.4million

Hollins is an expiring 900k
Carroll is 5 years, 20.8 million

we save some money but we take back Carroll who has only a slightly better contract. 5 years for a guy that is shooting 40.6%, 26.7% and 79%, though?!? Wow. People said they wanted a SG with size but Carroll may be more porous than Terry and he provides very little on the other side.

Hollins is a lifelong underperformer (at least in basketball-- he was good at the high jump.) who failed to make a splash in college and is thusfar failing in the NBA. After this year he may very well never see an NBA lockerroom.

We essentially save about 11 million and get no talent back. Since Diop wasn't playing/contributing its not a huge deal but it does make me wonder if we are transitioning into a rebuilding mode. I'm not adverse to it-- we either need to position ourselves to rebuild or we need to be aggressive about getting better.

Right now we are just sitting on a sub-par 9th seed team with a huge payroll.
