    We don't need to worry about fit with kpj as far as brook Lopez because according to burtsteele we won't have kpj much longer. So I'm baseing all further free agent signings on the tweet from burtsteele today.

    Trying to assemble a list of players DD likes

    Kevin Porter Jr.
    Miles Bridges
    Mo Bamba
    Jaxson Hayes
    Zion Williamson

    Sounds like the All-Knucklehead First Team

    Sure you do, average and developing players get passed around a ton, I am not looking for starters, but backups that fill a need behind Sengun.

    Bamba is a shot blocking center with a good 3pt shot....and centers take longer to develop would love to have him and if not him than Hayes is a little lessor than that....but both with similar skillsets.

    This is only if we aren't getting Lopez....which looks unlikely.

    I understand adding a proven big like Brook or Capela…but outside of that, we do NOT a need another young big. Give Garuba a chance over Mo Bamba…

    Mo bamba sucks. Either that or he is injured. Lakers would rather play Rui Hachimura at center that's all you need to know.

    I didnt get why they cut him. He fit the young, cheap, backup center box just right. I guess to go "all in" with Christian Wood & Demarcus Cousins.

    Mo Bamba would fit our "no competent shooters" mission we seem to be on so I'm sold.

    I can see a JaVale McGee like career rebirth for Hayes. He might be the most athletic center in the league but he has some serious brain farts while on the court.
