I doubt that Hansbrough will be back for the simple reason that he has fallen out of favor with Coach Casey, who, I guess, prefers guys that play even when their ankles are breaking. So he will be either traded or waived. Either way, I hope he finds a team that will find greater use for his offensive talents. You see Tyler warming up, and every jump shot goes in. But he rarely shoots it in a game any more--and it's certainly not built into the offensive plan. Likewise, playing him as backup center, as Casey did, is a poor use of his skills.
As for Perkins, he is not really an improvement except for being an inch taller and thirty pounds heavier. He will make $6 million dollars more than Hansbrough's current contract. I would not make that trade, but then, I am not as savvy as Mr. Ujiri.
