I really want Lats to come back. What I would like to see us do is see where we are closer to the trade deadline. If were still treading water, procede with him as we are now, with an eye for him coming back later in the year. If were finally going under, shut him down completely with an eye toward getting him completely healthy for next season.
I think we will need to qualify him. He's simply got too much potential when healthy. The fans love him, and I think he really likes it here. If we could get him signed for less than qualifying somehow, awesome, but I think he is worth the salary bump if he can just get healthy and stay healthy.
Hes just about the only offensive guy we have who can produce points consistently, plays responsibly, and has a shoot first mentality. I really wish we could clone him and replace a couple guys on the roster with his clones.
