    Bruno Fernando. He is cheap. He has a decent size, he can play defense, and he will be playing his ass off if he gets the chance. The problems he has are that he fouls too much and he cannot stretch the floor. Well, Capela can't stretch the floor as well. He will improve his fouling situation under Ime.

    Yes, I'm serious. I was talking about Bruno Fernando. What? You don't like "lob-threat"?

    Hear me out and try to take it seriously lol.

    Bruno Caboclo has put on a lot of muscle and moved to the C position (in Europe). Worth keeping an eye on. Maybe that useless wingspan finally becomes useful. I can see him playing backup C in the NBA if he's embracing it now.



    Imagine if after all these years of being two years away from being two years away, he actually carves out a career. Good idea for him to bulk up significantly, he's relatively skilled for a C and the wingspan is still elite.

    This should be considered as littering at this point.

    I wouldn’t mind Kelly Olynyk back as a stop gap just for this year.

    I don't think he fits Ime's style.

    I'm still somewhat patient that Landale gets his conditioning and confidence back in the next 6 weeks. The problem is that I really don't want another C to be taking Sengun's minutes. I feel like Isaiah Stewart is an Ime kind of guy. Honestly, I would be okay in trading for Robert Williams for next season and giving Boban Landale's minutes. Smith plays a lot like a C anyways.

    Let's go after James Wiseman...we can get him for cheap and Monty Williams might be interested in getting Landale since he was the Sun's backup Center last year

    Oladipo for Olynyk would make some sense

    Please forget about him. He is a bust.

    I don't think Wiseman would be cheap, especially considering that Detroit has no incentive to win right now. Besides, Wiseman doesn't fit what we need in the backup C role.

    I think Denver will be the one who needs Oladipo at this point, though I would not be surprised if Denver tries to go and get Poole.
