They could use an upgrade at C/PF, but like Denver they don't need to make any major moves, just let their young core develop.

The problem is that BOS dont have many financial resources to improve significantly. Tatum will get max, Kemba, Smart and Brown are on big contracts. Wiseman or Okongwu would fit perfectly there.

I think their improvement comes from Tatum and Brown continuing to get better and turning into superstars, not necessarily from trades. Tatum is 22 and Brown is 23, they're going to keep improving. They could draft a decent big at 14 without having to trade up.

That makes sense. In this playoff I saw them using Kanter, who is an awful defender and raw Robert Williams. IMO big man position is the most evident area for improvement that screams "Wiseman!" or "Okongwu!"

Or maybe I am just trying to sell this idea in order to beef up #1 pick trading value

Not surprised, no reason for them to choke like that against Denver.

Should we hire Doc.. He seems like a no BS guy. Ryan Saunders don't seem to have the pedigree to take this team to the playoffs.

Bring him on. Go Wolves. The players choked. Not Doc.

I wouldn’t hate it, too bad wolves are letting philly take Dantoni, makes no sense for the wolves not to go for him.

Yes and he probably has the lowest winning percentage of the 16.
I know my responses about Saunders are always snarky. It's not his fault he was promoted far above his ability.
I blame it on Taylor. So my snark is not aimed at Saunders personally it is more for Taylor and Saunder's supporters.

Unfortunately, we don't have a head coaching vacancy. They seem pretty committed to Saunders.

Very unfortunately. :banghead:

Southern Wolf 161 posts from being a RealGM. May I be the first to congratulate you. Do you think you'll get there discussing the draft?

Thanks. Not sure what I'll be discussing then! I post pretty sporadically these days.

They have three picks in the first round. #14 which is a nice pick in this draft, then two later picks at the end. I suppose they could try offering 5 FRPs for Towns and steal another big from us.

Pre and post draft gives many opportunities for posting. You just need to avail yourself of those opportunities. Come out of the semi-retirement for a little while.

Lakers by 26 starting the 4th Qtr. Maybe the rest of the league needs to go a bit bigger. Bam 2-8, Herro 3-12 and Robinson 0-3. Go Lakers.

Heat got no chance when they are putting Jae crowder and iggy to guard AD

It reminds me of when we had Roco at 4 trying to guard big power forwards and everyone except Saunders and Rosas could see it was a major fail.

That's why we need to draft Okongwu or Wiseman.

I want a real power forward next to Towns which is why I said I want Aaron Gordon.

But the Wolves believe in that Rockets Philosphy of 1 guard, 3 wings, and a center. They have stated this a lot about trying to play “an analytics game and modern basketball.” Using Gersson own words.
