The "problem" with LaVar is this:

He will be the highest paid player on the team next year and may consume the largest fraction of the team's salary cap. [I defer to Crazy Canuck on both of those points.]

At the same time, he doesn't play nearly half the downs on defense.

You might be able to put together a successful team some of the time under those circumstances, but it doesn't seem to be a formula guaranteed to bring success. Ergo...
