    Really good post. It's why I'd rather see us upgrade PG. We're actually pretty decent at SF as is, provided Rudy can play more minutes.

    Yeah, to me Rudy's & Batum's upsides (esp Batum) are assets. Sure they are only potential assets because they might not pan out, but a potential asset is still an asset. Like if I tell you: flip a coin and if it comes up heads I'll give you $100,000. That's an asset worth about $50,000. But if you never flip the coin it's worth nothing. Let Rudy & Batum play lots of minutes and you give their upsides a chance to pan out. Otherwise you flush those assets down the drain. So if you are going after a SF you might as well go balls-out and lose either Rudy or Batum and go after G. Wallace. But I'm not sure if that door is still open. I'd rather just flip the Rudy/Batum coin and go for a PG.
