Funny how everyone has too many guards after we saw a playoffs where the big man was shown to be important again.

I just posted on the random thread, Keyonte George for OMax?

OMax hasn't really shown anything, I think he is just filler. I am pretty sure Keyonte is an NBA player.

To be fair we also saw the team who won the championship play 7 guys between 6'3 - 6'6.

The new 3 is basically an athletic defensive 2.

Is there a Clingan to Washington deal that makes sense?

babyjax13 · Post #7 » by **babyjax13** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 7:33 am

Or Clingan to Charlotte?

You post enough about the Bulls to know better

Carter is an expiring contract who needs to move on, he's small, can play PG on defense but he's 80/20 SG/PG on offense
Dalen Terry has tried to improve his ball handling to find a role but his decision making is poor he needs to go
Coby White showed he's a SG and a slight combo guard but not a PG
Ayo because he's good on defense can be a backup PG
Giddey is the playmaker so listed a the PG even though he's been at the SF
wild card would be Tre Jones who they should bring back who is a playmeker who can score

LAL too:
Luka (SF/PF on defense)
LBJ
DFS
Rui
Vando

can someone invent a time machine to the 2024 draft lol

Charlotte needs major roster balancing. Moussa Diabate and Nurkic are our centers, and both of our serviceable PFs are 6'6. (No Tidjane does not count as anything)

Toronto's roster issue is having 4 SGs in RJ/Agbaji/Dick/Walter and no back up C.

Yep. I'd add Battle and maybe IQ to the list of SGs too, so 5 or 6 SGs total.

Also, PF ain't so great either: the starting PF (Scottie) is probably best at SF, and the backup PFs are a 2nd-yr player (Mogbo) who is baaaaaad on O, a rookie (Murray-Boyles), and one or two guys on 2-way contracts that are probably still 2 years away from being 2 years away.

Alvarado for Nick Richards? Phoenix is suddenly flush with centers and could use a defensive PG.

Goga Bitadze
Jonathan Isaac

Mo is out hurt, unknown (possibly unlikely) if Orlando uses team option on him this year. And Isaac is never reliable and i dont think he can still play back to back games
