    WHAT THE MOTHER FREAK IS THE PROBLEM…..SIGN BRUNO ON THE CHEAP AND CALL IT A DAY!!!!!!!!! Don’t get this team….Bruno looked great as a backup and reminded me of the Manimal. He has size, quickness, plays great D, a bit of an attitude, and great athletic ability!!! He is an all around solid player. We don’t need Hakeem Olajuwon as our backup center, WE NEED BRUNO!!!

    Maybe there is still a chance we can bring him back once all the FA dust settles. He has not signed with anyone so far. Maybe Stone still tryna make a move on somebody via trade. Still a lot of time left.

    Not really. Having a talented, tall, big bodied center would be nice but I don’t think it’s mandatory.

    Looney isn’t all that big himself, but who is his backup?

    Celtics have horford who isn’t really a rim protector these days and Williams…


    If a good big guy is available by all means grab him, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have a big shot blocking center if you have good team defense and long defenders at the 3/4/5.

    Main problem with Wood at center is he doesn’t even try to play defense in the paint. He would barely slide and get in front of people. Sengun at least tries.

    And if you look at a guy like Gobert he was barely even playable in games that mattered in the playoffs.

    I’m not worried about winning an extra 3-4 games. I would rather play the guys on the roster and see what Garuba does.

    If the Rockets were a team going deep in the playoffs I would want a big center but this team isn’t ready for that.
    Hart will earn his money.

    Garuba is not a NBA player, he cannot jump(no vertical), not agile and no offense at all. We need interior defense or we are going to get beat up again like last year inside the paint.

    A very poor man's Christian Wood.

    Rockets signed a poorer man's Jalen Smith in 6'9 Aric Holman for SL.

    Would the nets be open to SnT Drummond for Martin /Gordon ??? Seems like a package they might consider once Durant exits. They will need 3pt shooting around Simmons lol. Kenyon has merits to get his son there too.

    Let’s let him get healthy and see what he can do. Last year he was injured too much to really be able to tell. He looked good playing for Spain last summer, that was a glimpse of what his game is. He will mainly be a defensive player for us, so we should not worry about him scoring a lot of points. We will see how disruptive he is in summer league next week.

    Drummond isn't on the Nets anymore. He just signed with the Bulls.

    Whiteside. Vet in the locker room just like Gordon. Can move both at the deadline together in a a package and increase garuba’s & eason’s minutes.

    KPJ/TyTy/Nix
    Green/Gup/Matthews
    Tate/Gordon/Nwaba
    Smith/Martin/Eason
    Sengun/Whiteside/Garuba
