Agree with all. I actually thought VC would be a decent pickup, simply because all he had to do was be better than a really old Peja, which wasn't going to be that hard. But he was much better than that, and I thought the heart of the team while he was here. Classic example of a former star player who was very accepting of his role here, and seemed really glad to just be able to bring what he could bring, and have that be all that was expected. A real testament to how well Carlisle's system and philosophy and approach really benefits players that may have fallen off elsewhere.
