I dunno about that, I like Backlund bought ROR is 2 years younger and brings more offense to the table, which is what our forward group lacks right now, and he's no slouch defensively either.
On the same contract I take ROR, but they can't be had on the same contract so I guess that's a pointless discussion.
I've said it before though, if they snag ROR my opinion is that they also try to re-sign Backlund and keep both if possible. ROR has played lots of wing as well, and would give that added depth.
Kind of in the same way that Tre traded for Hamonic and then was still able to re-sign Stone when nobody really thought that was the plan. Basically here is a fair deal, go see what's out there and if you want the little bit of extra money over taking a slight haircut to stay here then go ahead that's fine, but the deal will still be here after you shop around. If you decide to move on that's OK too we will just slide ROR into your spot as #2 center then.
