    After watching tonight's game 6 Thunder vs Mavs, it's become evident that we'll need an athletic Center on the roster to help us get to the next level...watching Lively's impact on tonight's game made me realize we're going to need more athleticism at the 5 to bring support to Sengun.

    Why we should finally package up some assets and give Atlanta the 3rd + another 1st or two to get Sarr

    At first I was like naw, but yeah we need one on the roster. You just need a tall person who gets to the ball first.

    Lively is a run, jump, and dunk guy and he decimated OKC.

    OP misunderstood what he was watching…OKC’s problem is that they did not have a C, period

    Chet is too weak to be your C

    Dallas big men are bums, let’s not pretend otherwise

    We’re dealing with Wemby and Chet and to a lesser extent Lively/Gafford in our division
    We need another big to protect and accentuate the strengths of our golden boy

    Adding Tari Eason, a third pick, and Steven Adams to what we have by itself got me all teary eyed. This long journey back to the playoffs is on notice.

    Umm let’s get to the playoff first? And size is much easier to add? Overreacting by using the 3rd pick for size? Chill.

    I’d rather us be prudent as Presti - stress testing the team in the playoff first before making any major moves.

    But first you need to make it to the playoff.

    Reasonable take, Luffy.

    I think Clingan is not just size, he brings a potential on Offense as well.
