I think what happens by Ray making this statement publicly is that any other wing or combo guard FA that might be hesitant to sign with the C's due to playing time or being in the shadow of the current starters (like TA's problem) might give it serious consideration, and we might have a shot at players we wouldn't otherwise.
Thanks, Ray!
Oh, and by the way, if we're going to be younger and more athletic, it probably makes sense for the oldest guy in the lineup to be the one to sit, right? Especially if the oldest guy is a wing? Makes sense.
