Now that Tucker is back as our starting center....who will be promoted to being our new starting Power Forward in smallball V2???
Who cares, the next tank commander. Who even starts at the 5? Who backs it up? 4 and 5 spots are now injured Wood and out of position 2.5ppg PJ Tucker, or out of position (on defense as well as in roster position) 10% 3 point shooter Danuel House. We want bigs @ruhfell
I still think there is no chance of AG to Rockets but I’m easily willing to eat crow for being wrong on that. More power to you. _______________________________ Bamba as well.....had PER of 31 a few weeks ago and now a PER of 22.4 (all star potential being of 20 or above). Harden had a PER of 21 when we obtained him from theThunder years ago.
I agree with you bro. I doubt if the Magic want to give up either of them. AG will only be moved if he's damaged goods. We don't need any more injured players.
In researching Magic sites I found out why Bamba has gotten so few minutes this season.....ton of injuries plaguing him this season and some post complications from Covid-19 lingering. Saw an article suggesting Lakers want Bamba and should give up a 1st, Caruso, T Horton-Tucker and Jared Dudley. Guess we give Tate/House equivalents because they each have 1 year remaining on their contracts like T Horton-Tucker and Caruso. I can’t see why the Magic would want our rentals if it doesn’t move the needle playoff-wise. We shall see, yet to be determined.
Bamba is talented, but the Lakers shouldn't give up Horton, AC, and a 1st for him. Bigs are still important, but not as much in the 90's and in early 2000's. House's decline precludes any chance at grabbing him along with Tate. What do you think about trying to acquire Sekou Doumbouya?
Sekou D is definitely a project. Two years in the league and he has sported 90 and 91 ORtg and 112 and 113 DRtg. So he needs help around him on offense and must have some flaws on defense at the moment. Those ratings are not the complete story, but a basis from which to work from. I’m hoping the Grizz crash and burn so that Gorgui Dieng is ready to move on in free agency this offseason. He is my target free agent center that can do the dirty work while freeing up Wood of the handcuffs of playing Center and moving him to PF. G Dieng: PF/C at 6’10”: (20/21) 8 pts......4.8 rebs.....1.4 ast........52.5% (FG%).....2.2 (3PA).....48.8% (3P%)......87.2% (FT%).....19 PER 36-minutes (projections): 16.1 pts....9.5 rebs.....2.8 ast................................4.3 (3PA).................1.4 Bks.............1.7 stls The tandem of Wood and Dieng would be good in my opinion. Dieng is M Harrell I want but can shoot 3’s.
How much will Dieng cost? Sekou is a project, but he is talented. Please correct me, but I think this is his second year. He has shown that he can play off the bench with Wood.
Coach said that he’s just here for some depth. Similar to Spalding in playing time. Will not be starting even with Wood out. So it’s definitely Tucker the next 2-3 weeks as our starter at center. Smallball is back and this version with 6-5 center Tucker at 2.5 points per game will be better than ever .
