    A quality big is the answer it was obvious in the Miami game because Whiteside was man handling Capela in the paint. Capela just doesn't have the muscle at this point to deal with a player like that and I am not sure if he ever will.

    Any kind of serviceable wing to get Brewer out of here is fine with me, but I honestly don't see anything major happening.

    I think the majority got it right. We need a workhorse on the inside that can rebound, play defense and not get pushed around.

    The problem is there aren't many players like that, period, let alone ones that are on expiring deals and/or don't make boatloads of money.

    Bogut is a logical choice, but you can't trust him.

    Tyson Chandler would be ideal if it weren't for his contract.

    Noel hypothetically fits but he hasn't proven anything yet and Philly will probably ask for a king's ransom

    I mean, there really aren't a lot of options that come to mind. Hopefully, DM is busy crunching numbers and using whatever formulas he uses to find an under-the-radar underutilized big like he's been known to do with PG's.

    Would love someone in the mold of Patty Mills. Or Jopats guy Boban.

    Not a shot blocker (neither is Tyson) but he does affect shots in the paint due to his size. Also a very underrated post defender ... okay it was a reach but would love to see his skillset in MDA system. Gotta have Italian connection somewhere. :D

    In the words of the great Ruby Rod, I don't want one position...I want all positions. I think we need all three to compete. We're not one move away. A trade deadline move for quality player would do a lot to help out next year and this summer imo.

    What we need is Marcus Smart, we just don't have anything to go get him with.

    How many minutes you want Brewer on ANYBODY!!??
    And yes, the question is purely rhetorical.
