    The high flying rookie must love him some prime 2022 Westbrick to model his game after?

    I like Bamba and think he’d be a great fit next to AD.

    But I think if we could hypothetically get him for the TPMLE and let Monk walk, a few weeks into the season we’d be complaining about our lack of scoring and shot creation off the bench.

    lol, the clips turn down 7.5 to increase their key role player's salary. we let ours walk for the lower figure.

    and ours was better.

    oh yeah, and we traded them theirs for a guy who was functionally out of the league literally the second the trade occurred.

    you're killing your father, jeanie.

    related to the above--does orlando really just let him walk for nothing if they don't have any use for their space lined up?

    that's a lakers move (randle).

    Bamba would be a great get, but its highly unlikely. If he was still under contract we could of traded THT for him, but as it stands now, the magic would have to pull his QO and basically no team would want to give him more than 10m.

    Maybe we could pull that trade off for Malik Beasley. Or see if Toronto would be willing to let OG go?

    In other news, the clippers and their OP owner are annoying. This is their roster as of right now:

    Wall / Reggie
    PG / Norm / Kennard
    Kawhi / Mann
    Covington / Batum / Marcus Morris
    Zubac / Hartenstein

    Feels like they've locked up half the 3&D players in the league.

    Yes. We'll be dumpster diving.

    I wonder if we can scoop up Josh Jackson as a reclamation project similar to Monk last year? Maybe he accepts vet min to show case himself.

    I'm hearing they might nab Noel as well.

    wasn't toronto not willing to give up OG for the 7th overall pick in the draft last week?

    and beasley's not a "big" wing.

    we need to be at monk's door with the contract ASAP.

    this is literally all about ownership willing to spend. all of it.

    they will still be abused on the post by any star center, but apart from that, the roster is sickening to look at. Almost everyone is a good shooter and plays competent D.

    Well heck why would that team have come to mind? Wasn’t the 2000 one better? And we were a juggler knot in the midst of a 3 peat, their 2001 chemistry problems notwithstanding.

    Really curious to see the plan we have to improve this team with the limited assets + bringing WB back.

    Star centers? Like Jokic and Embiid? Zubac can hold his own against anyone else. If they sign Noel or Hartenstein, they have enough at C not to be terrible. They also have Reggie and Wall at PG to not be terrible there.

    But when healthy (hopefully never going to happen) how are the Nuggets and 76ers going to stop Kawhi, PG, Norm, Covington, Batum, Mann, Kennard and Morris. That's 8 rotation swingmen 6'5" to 6'8" who can all shoot some and defend. They'll just overrun people with wings.

    Cause they were so hyped coming into that season. They were expected to compete with us in the WCF after the previous 7 game series. They added Dale Davis, Shawn Kemp, Rod Strickland etc. and were crushed by double digits each game in a 3-0 sweep.

    I hope the Clippers have a similar fate with their stacked roster. In fighting due to a lack of playing time for some guys.

    Yeah that's what I heard. I wonder if a THT, Nunn + unprotected 1st gets it done? By 2027 we are probably terrible and that's a top 10 selection. OG would really help out on defence, shooting and size. It also allows you to resign Monk to the MLE because we have some size. If we could get one more wing for a vet minimum that would be perfect - Warren?

    Russ / Monk
    OG / Warren / Reaves
    Lebron / Stan / Christie
    AD / Melo / Gabriel
    McGee / Jones / Howard
