They want to use capspace next year so they are basically punting on this year. That is why LeBron’s is pissed and trying to pretend like he’ll demand a trade, which he likely won’t.
Makes sense but I feel like they could've easily moved dfs for an expiring and maybe even a pick at the deadline

We made the deal to get Ingram and we just drafted a big.
We don't have additional cap space to work with...so it's either stand pat or trade RJ.
People on this board think CMB is a small forward. They dont realize hes our Center of the future.
Defintely not our C.
Play some minutes at the 5? Sure, but the only raptor on the roster who might maybe possibly be a starting 5 is Chomche.
Okay man whatever you say.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Things change quickly. He’s 32. He shots poorly for a couple months, suffers an injury and suddenly you have to pay get off him. Not worth the risk.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

CMB is not a C....

When your PG is up to his chin you know he won't be able to be a C unless you want to be outsized every game...

Have you not noticed the revival of the 7 footer?
And CMB skill set is way better used at the PF spot.
Why would you even want a 6'8 center? Scottie should be the C if anything. He's bigger and longer.

Wasn't much of a revival in the playoffs when it matters.

Thats a steal Jake's a very good basketball player. Excellent playmaker for his size. Was kind of hoping Toronto would sign him.

Did you even read his scouting report? His far more usable as a switch defender. He also is only 6-7 which makes him undersized on that position.

Was a trade deadline target for me last season. Underrated player.

replacing DFS with Laravia and calling it your top wing target is funny to me
