    Zach Collins or Olynyk would be interesting in that regard if they are available and if salaries work.

    Yeah, is he available? Portland already has Ayton. They should give the time lord up to us. He'd be a perfect fit.

    Capela isn't that good.

    Drafting defensive PF is one of the easiest things to do. The difficult part is making sure they aren't a liability on offense.

    Capela never wants to be the second big man. Forget Capela.

    Would love Hartenstein. Would also like to see a few more minutes for Boban.

    I'm sure we can find one cheap come deadline. I'm sure we'll find a serviceable one with one of our brooklyn picks.

    Ain't nothing like "FREE". Why pay for a Backup Center, when you can get one for free?

    If we get Hartenstein and Josh Christopher back then we'll be the next great dynasty. Perhaps the greatest dynasty.

    Some interesting players have been suggested . Ideally londale would get back to the level he was with the suns. But if he doesn’t; surely an underperforming team at the trade deadline might want to shed salary or shake up their roster and trade us a defensive big man that can block shots and catch lobs. Hopefully Jabari can bulk up enough to play 5

    I think the organization will give Jock some time to get back to form before they go trying to add another backup C. I dont think they are in any rush right now, especially seeing how well we are playing, so we will have to have some patience on this one. If we start getting beat regularly in the paint and loosing a lot of games, that could force them into move.

    I would probably look into Gorgui Dieng. He is still a free agent and is somewhat serviceable and has a little bit better defense vs Landale
