    If its a "big", needs to be able to guard defensively on the perimeter as well as protect the rim, at least against NBA backups.

    More likely, a SF with size that can play the occasional PF is needed. I guess this was House.

    Bruno has played solid in the G League, but of course its telling they went with House originally over him. Travis Wear is doing well in the G League as a floor spacing PF... but I don't think he defends well. Someone else mentioned him, but TJones... I mean he seems to be better now than he ever was. With a better 3 point shot. Never thought of him as much of the defender, though.

    10 days for all 3 quotas and test the performance to decide sign who finally should be a win win situation. Young, Gortiat, Randolph, House or ... Small forward should not rely on shampert, this guy has soft ankle, shambert is a bench players and worse than Ennis. We can waive him if those 3 new joiners plays with good performance

    He can block shots, but it's hard to say how would he fare against starting bigs. I think he might be able to play against some bench 5's. He has never been able to play consistently. This is a matter of concern. It's shocking to see that this is probably his only good game. It's obvious that he has some talent.
    Career stats of 1.9 points and 3.7 rebounds are Thabeet like.

    I'll take him. At least you know what he can do on a nightly basis.

    Yes, we need a PF more than another raw center in a bad way.

    Finding a PF that can play in a D’Antoni system is toughhh. We desperately need our Shawn Marion in the worst way.

    Each time Tilman lies about negotiations that happened, we become less attractive to FA's. Agents don't forget that stuff.

    he was once a great defender. Since he became a more offensive force, he fell away a bit

    Do you think that Travis Booker has potential as a switching defender?

    Did he lie? I thought he made reference to not being able to guarantee a certain amount of playing time. I feel like that played a role in the Markieff sweepstakes.

    Genuinely asking btw
