Stewart/Bagley are never going to be a solution there. Free Agency is rough. Tobias is old and expensive. Royce O'Neale is an option but he is old and is 6'4", Pascal Siakam is not a realistic option, and those 3 are the only options.

My favorite solution would be a trade with Orlando for Jonathan Isaac. He is everything we need, the problem is he is crazy and stupid, but if he wasn't he wouldn't be attainable.

He should be fairly cheap and easy to acquire. Wiseman and 2nds should get it done (probably in a 3 way since they don't need any more 2nds), maybe they're dumb and they like Killian Hayes? Anyways Jonathan Isaac is the answer imo.


Killian just had to catch a stray, huh


He is garbage

Im not certain whether it was media day or another interview but Coach Williams has said he will go big at times with Duren as the PF, Wiseman at C, Bojan SF, Cade PG and Ausar SG.

I think Monty needs to be flexible and fluid with using our roster to find any strengths available. Certainly hope weve moved on from those rigid Casey 5 in 5 out mindless rotations.

He didn't say anything of the sort. He said that he *might* use Duren in "big lineups"; but given that doing so would be basically suicidal from an offensive standpoint, I doubt it was anything more than a training camp platitude and I doubt we'll actually see it.

Long term if that's the 4 dudes you're closing games with what kind of skillset are you really looking for?

And who fits? Can anyone name past guys or current guys that would make that crew greater than the sum of it's parts?

There are only two true fits as types to me, that Siakam or Jaren Jackson Jr. You put either one and put a decent bench behind them and this team goes very far.

At this point I'm pretty confident Chet would fit great. But, basically any 3 and D power forward who's legitimate in both categories and can rebound is a good fit there for us. Easier said than done, of course.

As depth, maybe? Doesn't seem like he's quite starter level.
