They are not firmly ahead us, but neither are they firmly behind us as most people would have said going into last season. Assuming health I'd say we're in the same tier with Boston a level above.

If Landry Shaker is let go, he seems like an inevitable Buck.

One dimensional and has played with Doc before.

I thought Orlando might make a play for a real PG, but they didn't, so Suggs stays put. Terrific defender, but really no playmaking skills.

Brook has a defined role against Miami, Philly, OKC, Denver and probably one of two other possibilities. I'm leaning to keeping him and have him start coming off the bench and moving Bobby. Would even help get him to Philly in a three way if that was the play. Dunno who the live body big guy if be looking to get is though. Might need a two gambles approach and hope one guy fits the bill.

If Giannis were on board with playing center in the playoffs it would make roster construction a hell of a lot easier.

Achiuwa? I don't see him as a likely target, but if Brook or Bobby were moved you could offer him a legit role for a year.

In a 7 game series I’d take Boston in a heartbeat. We don’t even have a legitimate starter at the 2 spot. Our bench is Bobby and a pile of maybes.

It’s always tricky within the division but we’ve done it before…between Turner, Toppin, Jackson, and Jarace Walker, Indiana has a bunch of bigs and they like to play small. Can’t help but feel like someone is going to get fewer minutes than they want. I would gladly take Jackson or Jarace.

Yeah, I hate Boston as much as anyone but I think we’re a lot further from them than most would like to admit. I think they beat us in 6.

So far we’ve been connected to Wright and Jabari Parker :lol:

The fact that he'd be better than what we have at center should help too. We'd no longer have a slow, drop only center with no lateral quickness.

Sure, but there best player can't dribble with his left, and their 2nd best player is a choker. Giannis is so much better than everyone they have that the 6th and 7th men are pretty inconsequential. We do need to move Brook though before we play anyone in the playoffs again.

You’d be hard pressed to find a stretch where we played consistently good basketball for more than a few games. Maybe that changes with reps this summer and Delon Wright, but I’m pessimistic.

Was Reggie Bullock actually washed last season in Houston or was he just blocked by the glut of wings in front of him? I’d at least consider it if they’d really just stand pat this off-season.

I agree with that lack of continuity lack of coheshion chemistry agree.Doc even said he never put his O n D system in last year n the big 3 played only 13 games together.I think a full TC a very in shape n healthy dame n midds n giannis doc fingerprints on the O n D this team will be much sharper hell they won 49 games playing like sh... most of the year

I hope so. I’m confident that Dame, Giannis and Khris can thrive together if healthy. It’s the rest of the roster that I’m more worried about.

But I don’t have the confidence some do in Marjon, AJax or Dairy Bird.

Horst is waiting for the market finish sorting out who is the most washed and worthless retreads before he deploys his strategy of attempting to sign them. Sounds like it’s Wes Matthews, George Hill szn soon.
