    Agreed. I feel like we found one of those in DFS and another in Goodwin. We need one at the C spot pretty desperately and I assume a guard that can be a POA after Gabe leaves.

    I'd really love to bring Donte DiVicenzo here, I think he could be a good combo guard, defends and shoots well. NAW from Minnesota is also a good option 6'5, shoots and defends.

    For the center position it's harder... can we swing Claxton? Can we swing Jalen Duren? Do we go back for Mark Williams? Can we wrangle Gafford from Dallas? Does Kleber have anything left in the tank?

    yeah, several of us mentioned mitchell several times throughout the season. he was traded for pj tucker's corpse and a 2nd rounder.

    i'm not sure there's a center like that out there right now, but in lots of these cases you look for a lotto/1st round washout that needs a second/third/fourth chance.

    kai jones did some good things this year after seemingly like he was going to crazy his way of the league.

    yeah, you don't like to see stars get injured in the playoffs, but the fact that it was draymond who really turned that into a violent collision carries some poetic justice.
