I know he?s injury prone, but I?d love to bring Timelord back on a minimum contract. I watched most of the Spurs/Blazers series and he is still an impact player. This year, Rob played in 59 regular season games and all 5 in the playoffs.

Start TL, play him 20mpg during the regular season.  Divide the remaining minutes up between Queta and Garza. I?d feel pretty good about that center rotation.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He's definitely going to get lots of offers higher than the minimum.

Furthermore, I think his best role is as a roamer PF playing next to a stronger C who can space the floor. In other words, Al Horford. The way our team is built now, he can't play next to Queta due to spacing issues and playing with Garza or Tatum would be a very small frontcourt (remember, Rob is only 6'9'').

Of course, we can't necessarily solve all the roster issues in one offseason, so I'm not saying they shouldn't kick the tires with his agent. It's just if you're paying him 10-14m, could those resources be better allocated elsewhere? What about Queta when he needs to be re-signed? He should be making the backup big dollars, not Rob.

But, those are just the hard decisions you need to make under the new CBA when you've got older stars already making 35% of the cap.
