Is Mitch going to max out DeAndre?

I don't see the rush to get yourself a good Center (especially not if it means overpaying). We aren't competing for anything this upcoming year, and we'll have huge cap space the following year.

This exactly. Its going to take 2-3 years for our youngsters to develop into real contributors. No need to try and overnight rebuild every year. Thats how the New York Knicks happen.

Id really like to see them take a gamble on Robert Upshaw especially in the 2nd round.

We don't really have much to offer the Kings at this point but does drafting Cauley-Stein affect the Cousins situation at all?

Cousins And WCS are apparently BFFs so this is more so a placating move by the Kings than insurance, though that is a solid backup plan worst case scenario.

Man if we can get LMA or even Cousins our team is set - just hope we can keep Clarkson and Randle.

PG Russell/Clarkson? or if we sign Rondo, train Clarkson as SG??

People asking about Aldridge, but to me he's better suited as a PF than a Center.

Anyway, if Center is an issue, just opt-in on Jordan Hill if there is no other available option.

I think as he ages, he will become more of a C than PF (like Pau and Duncan). Offensively fits like a glove with Randle but not too sure about the other end.

Yes. We should offer deandre. That helps a young passer, when he can throw it up to a guy who can reach it and throw it down
