Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
So what are our back-up C options in FA (minimum contract only)
Is there a C we could get for Ochai salary wise ?

For vet min, you can probably get a Mo Bamba, Clint Capela, or try Koloko again.

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
Guys, go enjoy the summer and check back in during training camp. Masai and Bobby are willing to wait until training camp, then the deadline, then the off-season… Then training camp rinse and repeat. This is not an FO that has traditionally moved fast.

No thanks to Bamba and Koloko. Capela would be a great pick-up

Mavs/Blazers/Suns are the teams off the top of my head who have surplus Centers. There's gotta be a way to get one from them.

He won't come here when he can go start for the Lakers or another team.

Goga Bitadze, Capela, Looney, Kornet could be good backup centers to target

If he doesn't come, so be it. Roster spots are valuable and wouldn't want to waste one on the other two

lol yeah it's been rough. I think he can pass a bit and be used as a bit of a hub at times so can kind of fill in for Jak when he's out. Realistically, probably the best we are going to be able to do if we can even get him.

Ya the free agency route isnt appealing but we could do worse than Plumlee. I prefer to trade one of our wings to fill the void on a long term basis.

It’d be nice to bring JV home but that would leave the Kings in the same position as we are currently, lacking a backup C.

Yeah I once posted Monk+JV for RJ...but it does create that issue.
But they did just draft Raynaud....

Re: Free Agency & Trades Rumours Thread
I get this feeling were gonna get a legit back up center who can start if Yak is out or resting etc.
