JJB's presence on the bench and in the locker room is more important.
Yeah, I think you can make that argument, for sure.
I was excited about Hinton during the preseason, but I've been reminded how painfully irrelevant he's likely to be, not only this season, but moving forward. Gotta get up a steep slope to gain traction as an undrafted FA to begin with, and on top of that, he's clearly behind two other dudes who have are fighting desperately to make it in the NBA.
I'm not sure what will be the long-term outcome of the choice, but seeing how everything is going wrong this season, I think arguing that Barea might've made a difference has some merit.
