    Boban can’t run with the youngbloods and Sengun and Garuba will be like 14 fouls per 48 minutes between them. Thomas Bryant for 2/$17

    Juancho Hernangómez (6'9) would provide hustle and serviceable size, though he's not quite as tall as his brother Willy. While it would be nice if he was Bo Cruz, he's only a player to give the roster depth.

    But adding him and Boban would be fun at least.

    Seeing all these star players getting extended makes me think cap space is not as valuable as it once was. Star players don’t bolt in free agency anymore. They secure their money and force trades.

    Agreed on Boban not really being a good fit, I am curious if there are any contender/playoff teams that may want Boban as a backup or 3rd center in exchange for a 2nd round pick? I assume that would be his value but not sure he would be that helpful for many teams. Maybe the Suns? I am all for keeping him to start the year and see if we can trade him for anything of value.

    Waive all the Mavs dead weight. Sign, if possible, Fernando and Kabengele. Between them you have 12 hard fouls. Send the message to your opponent, Stay Out of Our Paint. Both have high motors. Kabengele actually hit free throws at a high rate and shows promise with the three.

    Shouldn’t cost much, only worry is that they would see the lack of playing time and look elsewhere.

    Not interested in any of the remaining bigs. I’d rather keep what we have honestly. It’s not ideal, but better than another bad contract.

    Should've just drafted Jaylin Williams instead of a PG who is going to be sitting in the G-League all year.

    Oh well, give me Nemanja Bjelica from free agency. I've been wanting him for the past 2 years. 6'10", knock down shooter. He can give you 15 minutes per game.

    Jaylin would have been in a similar boat to TyTy. Sengun, Garuba, Tate, Eason, Jabari, KJM all need minutes

    That's why having that 3rd additional pick in this draft was going to be an issue regardless of who they chose when they didn't consolidate it

    Nah, he definitely would have beaten out Garuba or Boban for backup Center minutes. OKC got a steal. Eason, Jabari, and Tate shouldn't be made to play the 5.
