We've got JV and Serge and Pascal to man the 4/5... all we need is a minimum scrub to fill the gaps.

If not Bebe, why not bring back back Quincy Acy at vet minimum?

We should trade NP and CJ to Charlotte for BB! It works in the trade machine.

I think both OG and Siakam can handle 3 and 4. Kawhi is going to take majority of the minutes at 3, so OG and Siakam will log in at 4 sharing time with Ibaka.

We just need a 3rd center at this point and that should be taking cared with a minimum type of player or 2 way contract.

I think Nurse is going to be able to convince Serge and JV to share the starting C job depending on matchups. We can’t start them together anymore and then try to get a backup center that plays which would get one of OG or Siakam be the odd man out on some nights. This should never be the case as they should be prominent parts of the rotation. I think the team is convinced now that OG is better at PF than SF. So one of OG or Siakam will start. Thus we do still need a backup center that will play some times or for injury replacement. Boucher might be that guy on a two-way. Then we need a vet. How about Amare Stoudamire who recently announced he wants to be back in the NBA and is currently playing in the BIG3. I believe he’ll be here next week on their next stop at the SBA

To me I think we should package up some salary and send to Sac for the likes of ZBo, Koufos who both have one year left.

Trade machine has convinced a lot of people that ridiculous idea's have some merit.

Masai just sitting back until CHA realizes they traded for Biyombo that they let go for nothing 3 years ago and now they have to pay him 16 mill and they end up waiving and stretching him and he signs back with us on a deal like the last time we had him.

Yeah looks like Amare is gunning for an NBA roster spot next season. Before you criticize the suggestion, what else would you expect for the 13th or 14th roster spot who will only be a part time player if you expect Serge and JV manning most minutes at 5 and Pascal as small ball death lineup 5?

We’d never do it but I would consider it lol. He’s injury prone and not even close to what he once was but he’s a winner.
