Pavlovic may well resign with them anyway since Phoenix is likely to cut him.

I was talking about 40% on 3 pointers. West is not a great 3 point shooter. With the open looks he gets from the presence of Lebron a really good jump shooter should be much higher than 39.9% in the regular season and 33.3% in the postseason. They could use a long defender but I think they can survive with Varejao now that they have Shaq. When they needed Varejao to play the five is when they were in big trouble. I think adding another jump shooter is their biggest need right now. Pavlovic coming back would certainly lessen that need but getting someone better than him would be a big boost.
