Aren't we a bit "front court heavy" as it is? Seems to me the need is greater at the wing.


If our bigs are Turner, Sabonis and Thad with Leaf *Who knows if he can play in 2018-19* who is the 5th big? I don't see the team as front court heavy. That said we do need a SF. If Cory is getting traded it should be to bring in a SF or open space to sign one, and then bring Lance back to fill the spot left by Lance.

Denver is loaded with PF's Lyles, Milsap, HermanGomez, Faried, Porter Jr, Vanderbilt, Lydon, and Arthur. I'd like to have Lyles and HG and I like Vanderbilt. I wouldn't take Faried or Arthur unless I was getting a #1 pick.


Then guess DEN won't be dealing with you, doubt we'll be making a deal for a 1st w/o both going out, and I'd bet that ain't happening either



Yup. Not many people with $20+m in cap space willing to blow it on Faried and Arthur for just the players themselves.

Someone who is on twitter needs to ask Jon Hamm just when in the heck did Thad EVER say he was opting out.

Alize?

Sent from my phone.


Not as someone to take on the same minutes as Booker did. Not yet. Pritchard seems certain about letting Alize develop in the G-League. From that presser after the draft, he said Alize's got some shot mechanics issues.

I did watch that press conference, but I want to see him play in the summer league. at this point, we don't know if he's going to get a minimum contract, a two-way deal, or be cut. I think he might be able to play both the 3 and 4 where Booker plays the 4 and 5, but we'll see soon enough.

Poythress and Moore are also question marks. GRob too.
