I think as fans we don’t understand what players are worth to a team. We see Boban as an end of the bench also-ran, or some sort of locker room vet player-coach. But I think MGMT sees him differently.
To MGMT he’s a mismatch and an automatic bucket. I’ve called him a gimmick which is unfair but only bc he’s SUCH a unique player. 7’6 is a supply/demand issue. And when he plays, he’s productive. He just can’t play big minutes. So he’s sort of this specialty tool we keep on our tool belt.
Maybe there’s not a lot of interest from other teams but go and nickel and dime every player who comes through your franchise and players will take notice.
The problem is he is getting older and his production in limited minutes fell off last year. Based on his recent play (and expected future play) he is a vet min at best and probably not worth the roster spot. I think the deal is for the locker room and specifically his relationship with Luka.
