I'm in the try camp for this year. Realistically, we'd have to tank multiple years, so why not hold off one more year for Dirk's sake. Plus, we'd then get rid of our obligations to Boston instead of having that hang over our heads as we're trying to rebuild.

Gotta go for Hibbert though. Then between Harris, Matthews, Justin Anderson, and Hibbert, perhaps Carlisle can fashion a decent defensive identity that can go with Parsons and Dirk being the engines on offense.

So... we could DNP-Old everyone except 5 bruisers? Raja Bell, Artest, MBenga, Cardinal and Felton (sorry-not-sorry). Although with Artest, we might need a sixth man in case he gets ejected.
