    On a positive note, believe that Stone will come through and get us a big prior to the season. We are number 2 only behind the Spurs on getting first dibs at claiming waived players.

    Offseason additions in the front line

    Landale 6'11
    Green 6'10
    Brooks 6'7
    Whitmore 6'7
    (Thompson 6'7)

    Replacing
    Garuba 6'8
    Martin 6'6
    Christopher 6'5
    (Anyone else filling in on the wing at 6'5 or less)


    I dunno... they seem to have added size?

    The team went 5-0 to reach the final. Couldn't play their first choice C because (as a FA) he signed with another club (fair enough). Chose not to play the 2nd choice C in a meaningless contest, so as not to risk him in games that actually mean something.
    Chose not to play the 3rd tallest guy in the SL squad for the same reasons as the 2nd.

    Meh.

    It's not our fault Brook Lopez wasn't a man of his word. We thought we did get bigger.

    We never had a shot at him unless we were gonna give him something like the max. He was just using us as leverage to get a better deal from the Sucks.

    No one gives a **** about your hot takes on the 9th man on the rotation.

    Literally all you do is cry and complain ABOUT EVERYTHING.

    Stop being a whiny b****.

    I've heard that when a moderator chooses to place a poster on permanent "rookie" status, they can never start a garbage thread again. Is that true?

    Just imagine how weird it is that OP started a thread earlier asking who our backup PF is, he was told it would primarily be Jeff Green who is a championship calibre backup PF along with Eason sharing 18 minutes, then he proceeded to actively ignore it, claim that Tate will be our backup PF and go on a tirade about small ball.

    So weird.

    Pretty much if you are still playing in SL by the end of it it likely means you are headed towards the G league. Including Cam.

    Cam fans won't want to hear it but he's probably going to have a Tyty kind of year of going up and down. Just not sure he's going to see much time until someone like Tate is moved.

    Jockey Jock is not even someone who plays big minutes, no matter how tall.

    Would agree with you 100% if you were accurate on your heights listed. Funny how 37 year old Jeff Green grew to 6’10”????? He’s only 6’8” and done growing 18 years ago.

    Not to knock down your inaccurate post even more, but Dillon Brooks is 6’6”. I guess in your make believe fantasy world everything is going to be fine with 6’8” 37 year old Green and 6’4” Tate currently being the backup PFs.
