    Would it be crazy to flip Eric Gordon to Memphis for 6'9 JayMichal Green and 6'6 Garrett Temple?

    Agreed. We need a reliable back up Center or Power Forward with size. Dedmon or Kyle O'Quinn would be ideal as a back up Center. Also Mirotic is the perfect stretch 4 in our system.

    Center is an overrated and outdated position and style.

    They just need someone can switch and cover and can move his legs without constantly fouling.

    No worries, Bruno will be waived after MEM takes back a truckload of players in Gasol trade.

    If we can actually beat the warriors this year, our midget lineup is going to be a huge problem if we end up playing the bucks or the sixers in the finals. Definitely agree that we need some taller players.

    agree with this one..shump is a 2/3...we need a 3/4 or 4/5 with length that can give solid picks, rebounds and defense...tuck needs a dependable reliever

    See this is backwards, Pj should be the reliever. There’s no way he should be a starter at this point we need a taller PF
