    Glad we're looking at a pool of options. Ideally I'm sure they do want younger, but outside of Faried, that's not a viable options considering the current market.

    Out of the 4 they brought in, give me:
    Noah- can pass, shoot if he has to, rebound, D, and great teammate
    Gortat- will definitely punch a Clipper
    Mo- not Dwight
    Dwight

    Noah seems to still be in pretty decent shape in this clip of him standing still-ish from the Booker video that went viral. Love that he's vocal and going back at him about not doubling. That's what I want. Not the Coward Clown

    ^ Gortat??? I knew this name would come up. That's a beyond desperate signing...

    It would be awesome if we somehow got Tacko Fall.

    The guy is like someone you create in NBA 2K. 7’7”, runs the floor, dunks without jumping lol

    Would it change anyone’s mind on Dwight if we could convince Memphis to waive Iggy also?

    Absolutely. If they're a package deal, I'll put up with Clown. Iggy is a post season game changer for us. That can't be said about anyone else we're looking at.

    Hell, if that's their condition, which I don't see being the case because it'll only save Memphis like $500k, then I'd take both of them and drop Dwight as soon as possible. Then go after Noah.

    He's a C bag right? Sure it would be awesome but it would be more awesome even if Boogie hadn't blown his ACL. Not following. It's OK .... I come in peace. Wanted excuse to have a pitcher. 5 o'clock somewhere .....

    I know we're looking at vet bigs but I hope we do our homework with younger guys as well. Someone athletic that's just out there to play D, rebound and occasionally finish around the rim.

    No thanks to Dwight but I'm ready for when we do sign him for some reason.
    Noah would be decent though he's always missing handfuls of games every season when we're already thin down low.
    Speights, Gortat, Anderson all deserve a Kobe barf gif.

    Faried would be my pick if we go with the older player route. He's a little undersized but he knows his role and is a bit of a dog out there, something I had hope Cousins was going to be for us. Also gives us some line up options being able to play the 4 and 5.

    C Bags would be fools to let Tacko Fall go. They need the big man depth too.

    My against the odds but not impossible hope is that Kostas steps his game skills and strength up to the next level for his age this year to where he could be somewhat effective against opposing benches for the minutes we use him. Really wanting to see some photos and clips of him working out this summer.

    I could get behind a Noah signing. He knows his role and wouldn't try to do anything that he is not capable of. The question is how LBJ and Noah would gel with some of the crap between them over the years.

    Maybe we could also have Melo put on some more weight (shouldn't be too hard for him) and he can be a smaller center. Think Draymond Green without the speed, defense or motor.

    :Laugh:
