I agree with the sentiment but I think in Kerr’s eyes, they play completely different positions.

But Hield stinks.

For some reason, Kerr thinks Moody is a 4.

If we have Luka. He will be Kerr's PF too. :banghead:

Apparently Luka tips the scales at 260 at the moment. Might play the 5.

Kerr might need to rethink the Moody is a 4 stand.

I love this closing unit. I loved them as a starting unit the last 2 seasons.

Umm, was that a travel? NBA needs to get back to calling traveling.

Maybe should hope to get Vuc for Schroeder and Slowmo. Then we don't have to see him again.

That was actually a pretty good win. Magic slumping but still a difficult matchup given their size and skill.

A 2022esque performance from Loon.

Steph and wiggins are giving you almost 50 every game, we need a 3rd scorer. And tonight it was moody.

Moody is strong enough to defend the 4 as well as 3. It would be even more useful if he was also quick enough to defend guards as well.

Team is a 2nd scoring option away from contending. They have guys can who can play great defense and Steph always attracts a ton of attention which makes it easier for others.

Franz kinda reminds me of Kukoc, he is just a big guy who is a really great free flowing player. He can dribble, pass, move well. Certain guys just have a great team ball feel like Bogut and even guys like Looney and GP2 have. If we had held onto Poole having him and Franz running a two man game when Steph and Dray sub out would have been amazing. Pooles 3 level scoring quickness with Franz size and understanding of pace. He is a tough matchup, so many posessions where a small ends up on him and he backs down a couple dribbles and has this huge size mismatch. Banchero is a truckload to deal with as a big power forward, but Franz creates these mismatches.

Yes, but how does trading wiggins for that no.2 make us that much better since we will need to attach assets to make up any salary difference?
