Vooch. I think Biyombo would be a good option off the bench.

Oh wow if you think that's all Mahinmi is going to get you should brace yourself.

I would be on board with adding him because I think he's better than Dedmon.

My top two options are Biyombo and Noah. Biyombo is a low usage shot blocking freak that I think could bring instant impact and energy to our defense. Noah is a locker room presence that could bring hustle and an edge. Both are good and capable options that could be paired with other free agents.

Too late to add Horford? Feel like he should be up there if we're going to include Whiteside and Dwight...

Whiteside is the best center on the market.

For $8 mill per year for noah/mahinmi I'd sign either as a backup. I think they'll get paid well into the double figures though.

Yeah think so. He will have to fall under "other". Was considering Al a PF too, his natural position atleast.

Wow he's really beating Whiteside. I've got to give you guys credit for loyalty at least. Well... for some players. And yeah, Horford should be up there too.

I think it would be interesting if we signed both Biyombo and Horford.

Biyombo/Vucevic
Horford/AG
Fournier/AG & Mario
Oladipo/Mario
Elf/Watson

Once Dec. 15th rolls around, we could trade the pieces that don't fit so that we can make room for guys like AG and Hezonja.

If Vucevic can be moved to PF, biyombo or Horford. If not, Vooch.

Vucevic... Whiteside isn't that good to be counted on offensively night in and night out like Vucevic has shown he can be. Especially when this team struggles so much at that end of the court.

On top of that if he goes to an organization that doesn't have a strong base/vets/front office he's not going to be as good (IMO).

Definitely Vuc and I'm happy to see him leading the poll. Yes he has his weaknesses, but damn is he underappreciated by a lot of people around here. I'm all for signing some big guys to help defensively and add depth, but that doesn't mean Vuc should not start.

Whiteside. Not even close. Second choice, Biyombo. The rest are backup types. Wouldn't be mad at Howard, but not a top 2 choice.

I wonder what the vote would be if Whiteside were on the Magic and Vuc were on the Heat. Vuc is fools gold. Having a jump shooting Center is not going to help us win in the playoffs while being a softy on defense.

Vucevic first Horford second at least until Gordon becomes a better shooter.

Whiteside, Biyombo, Horford, Vucevic.
In that order.

We need more defensive presence in the paint.

Whiteside, Horford, Vucevic.

The rest would be quality backups.

I would only want Dwight for a year, 4 years is gross.
