I think they're too far away to waste time with those. They aren't likely to last long enough to pay off, imo.I'm mostly with you on these thoughts, however it does depend. If someone is long in the tooth, but a really good mentor type for one of our 2 "guys" in Luka or KP, I think the long term benefit is they get that mentoring on how to navigate the regular season and playoffs to maximum efficiency for their talents. That is long term value IMO. Love, Horford and Lowry might be these types, not sure Tucker and Young are though. I don't know if JJB was enough of one though and he was pretty much past being useful on the court.
