    I think its height don't matter but wingspan does.

    what fillers? Tucker makes $8 million. Love and Horford makes $28 million each. We don't have the necessary contracts for a trade like that.

    honestly, his signature most likely didn't factor in the trade that went down last night.

    I am not talking about who is better at doing certain things, I am talking about them having the same skill set. The issue with Capella is that rockets don't do well with him bc he is a non shooter, looney would be the same thing

    Morey said he tried everything he could to avoid it, but the Clips insisted at the last minute and wouldn't budge.

    unless you're sending out Russ, Harden or our new starting SF Covington with Tucker we're not getting any player that makes that much money

    If you expand the 4-team deal to include Tucker (+House, Tyson, Harty,), I think you can get close enough to taking in Love or Horford

    That Sims kid looks REALLY good though. Maybe Baker will be better next year. His defense didn't look too bad against Azubiuke...but yes it would help if he made his 3s, or if anyone on the team made their 3s tbh.

    We need to entertain it at least he shouldn’t be deemed untouchable by any means.

    I know we don't like mid-range shots, but when Harden gets doubled at half court we need a big that can either attack the rim, make a play or hit the mid range. Looney is an excellent mid range shooter who only shoots when needed.
