Still jacked we found our Kemba solution. Horford is an ideal back-up C for us.

Pretty sure Presti loved Langford pre-draft.

Kemba, TT, Romeo and a 1 for Al.

Will be kind of annoyed that Presti will be able to sell Kemba and TT for value, but its so worth it anyways.


Romeo and a 1? Idk about that

Danny has to be fighting between the urge to make it a bit further this year, or just go all in developing Rob.

Edit: In his mind. I think the Rob path makes this team better by playoff time. I just don’t know if he can stay healthy.

Call me crazy, but Timelord starting and Thompson/Wagner off the bench is more than ok with me.

It's a risk with Rob, but I HATE Drummond man lol


Yes Rob is the future but we need his body to hold up. This is why I'm for the Drummond move...he's a supercharged Kanter who we actually need.

Romeo may not even have his 4th year option picked up. And spending a FRP to free up nearly 25M is worth it to me.

GOD DAMNIT BUY HIM OUT OKC

LET HIM COME HOME

He'd have to give up so much money to get bought out. He's really nice salary fodder for OKC to attach a few picks to and get the next superstar that forces his way out. Like Horford and 5 picks for Beal kind of trade. OKC can beat any team's offer any time they want; I think they have 17 first round picks between now and 2027 draft.

Kanter played with a ton of effort. Drummond might be the laziest player in the NBA.

We should sign KO or Dieng, who are much better fits here IMO

He'd have to break both of his legs and basically not play between now and whenever they have to pick up his option I think.

He cant stay healthy. If he comes back and looks rough it would not shock me in the slightest if we declined his option.

Kanter may play with a ton of effort but he has half the talent Drummond has....and considering Drummond has played for Detroit and Cleveland.... I like our chances of actually motivating him more.

But that's just me.

Yeah it's been a weird year, he'd be playing right now in a normal year I think. I think it's like zero chance they don't pick it up unless he just literally destroys his body. It's a couple little injuries to start his career, happens all the time.

I think that would be pretty shocking.

He is a recent lottery pick. I think a team that like the c's that needs movable assets would just pick up the option and hope, after all his fourth year is 5.6 million, not picking it up and replacing him with a minimum guy saves you only like 3.5 million odd dollars. So its not like there's a huge opportunity cost. The front office, by all accounts, loves the guy.

I think he would have to look pretty much unplayable not to have his option picked up, like worse than he looked in glimpses last year.

Eh, we picked Yabu two spots after Romeo and regretted picking up his third year option and outright cut him after his second year.

If Romeo looks like ****, I’d be worried if I were him.

He’s shown literally nothing and is always hurt. If he looks bad the rest of this year, I cant see a tax paying team willfully tossing 5.6M at someone whos shown absolutely nothing.

I totally get that man and a lot of people have that opinion.

I just can't buy into that. I really think he's just unfixable at this point and honestly he's been my least favorite NBA player for a long time. I just don't want him on my team, at all.

The Lakers will probably make him look good because they have Bron. I would just much rather play Timelord and Thompson/Wagner and roll with that

He's much higher upside than Yabu and already showed way more than him in his first 300 NBA minutes. I think you're way off here on Langford. He was getting rotation minutes as a rookie in the playoffs before he had to get surgery on his wrist. Yabu was a victory cigar.

I think you're missing the point here just imagine this;

Kemba bricking all those 3's come playoffs and Drummond just rebounding and getting the easy 2's.

He'll average 30 points alone on Kemba's missed 3's!

Ya agree to disagree, the c's arent in a position asset wise where they afford not to pick up the option on a recent lotto pick based off a twenty five game sample size at the end of a weird pandemic season. 5.6 million dollar contracts are pretty easy to dump if it comes down to that, most teams will take something like that for a second or even sometimes just cash if they wnat to take a flier on a guy. There's not a lot of upside to it and potentially a decent amount of of downside if he comes back and looks decent/healthy is a normal year next year.

But honestly we're getting ahead of ourselves, Gotta see him play first.

The return of a bought out Horford would do wonders for this squad and spacing. Don’t tease me Woj....

Al doesn’t want to play Center and we already have ours so it’s perfect.

Now I really hope Drummond signs with LA just so we keep an Al reunion open.

With no real other avenue of obtaining a high lottery pick I think they stick it out with him until the end....we need one of Nesmith or Langford to actually pan out considering we won't be picking in the lottery anytime soon...
