We need a legit big that can be good for 6 fouls and anyone to replace Green. He has become painfully bad on defense.
Truth is, Morey will not go after a player like Robin Lopez. Morey will not go after a player like Mark Gasol. You all get so hyped 'Oh they can shoot three's!!!!'.. 'oh but Marc Gasol plays good defense!'.. I can't help but laugh a bit. Like it or not, he wont. Agree or disagree, he still wont. Whatever big, or undersized big for that matter in which Morey wants has to at the very least meet a certain criteria. That criteria is having the capability to switch.. Someone who can switch has to have the ability to guard guards to some degree as that is an inevitable occurrence. A Robin Lopez and a Marc Gasol do not fit the Morey criteria, they can not switch like that on the defensive end. Thats the cold hard truth, deal with it. The ONLY circumstance in which he would go for a bigger body that can't switch well is if Nene is gone. That is because Morey does like to have a big bodied center at the very end of the bench for the most extreme of situations. However, it wouldn't be a Robin Lopez or Marc Gasol. Whoever fills that role has to be completely ok with the possibility of not playing or clocking in any minutes. They have to completely buy into their pretty meaningless role. Overall, Morey can really care less if our center has the ability to shoot three's.
Shumpert stinks. People are finally realizing how lucky and rare it was to have Tucker/Ariza/LUC(2nd best perimeter defender in 2018) swing man trio. Morey blew it spectacularly. This defense is horrid.
Warriors already got too many pieces. Cousins can hit threes as well. If he isnt brought out, would Brandon Knight + Chriss work for Lopez and a random player/pick?
Kanter, Robin Lopez are 2 bigs that may get bought out. if that doesn't happen, we should go after Dedmon
Frye would be amazing, finally a big that can shoot threes to contrast our PnR bigs. Frye would put us in rarefied air of a complete team. DD
I'm pretty sure the Rockets need a white guy for the end of the bench to cheer and play in blowouts. Although I'm not too sure who is all on the D-league team.
Everyone is saying how dumb it was to not re-sign Luc, but what are we missing? His 4 games that he's played this year? I also heard Robin Lopez and "3s"... Ok, it's Robin, not Brook. Channing Frye would be a good get. I'm more excited about when CP3 and Capela return and we have a great starting line-up with DEPTH
with Faried and Rivers we've shored up the backup pg and backup 4/5. We are now once piece away from being solid all the way around like last year, maybe even better roster wise. We need a 6'8 Long wing, at this point he doesn't even need to be a sniper, Defense is more important. We shot the ball pretty horribly today, but were in the game bc of Defense and hustle. Porter, James johnson, and Carroll would be my top 3 players. Wayne Ellington would be a great shooter to have as well Porter if we could offer a 1st, Bknight, Nene, and Chriss?
Tell ya who wouldn't be enjoying this. Danuel House. He's one more buyout guy away from throwing away any chance of garunteed cash this season. Also clubs may be wary of how good James Harden is making these guys look.
Let me get this straight.. you think getting a 35 year old who's scoring 3.6 ppg puts us in some elite place?
I feel it’s best we use him as a trade chip moving forward these next few weeks. I actually like him on this team a lot but can we really risk having him come back with an attitude or not buying in because of how this all went down? Or even simply not coming back as good Just hope a package made up of a different combination of House, a first round pick, Ennis, Chriss, and IH can land us something worthwhile.
I'm looking at Robert Covington after the Minny implosion. I'd give up pics for that 6-9 defensive/shooting demon...
