I think you guys are missing my point here.

First of all, I am talking about instant offense and energy off the bench, and that`s what Rip would bring.

Second; he would be the first player off the bench (like Ginobili in SA).

Who cares if Rip would score on drives, off screens, shooting 3`s, it doesn`t matter, as long as he SCORES and instills energy to the offense.

Third; Rip would be playing alongside the starters (in my scenario anyway) so there would be no need to learn how he comes off screens, setting picks for him.....etc.

I know this is far fetched and it is late in the game to make such a drastic move, but I believe it would work.

Hey, these games are boring me too right now, hurry up playoffs!!!!!!!!
