I give up. Play PJ at the 5 and go gangster.

Just play the rookies, solidify the roster next off season


I want PJ to run these centers off the court.

Give me Devonte' - Rozier - Ball - Miles -PJ

Sprinkle in a little Devonte' - Monk - Ball - Miles - PJ

Have Batum and Cody Zeller ready with towels and ice water.

I'm down with that, provided PJ has done nothing but rebounding drills the last 8 1/2 months

i'd rather we not kill one of our most promising draft picks in years - that also is a bit injury prone - by making him play the 5 on heavy minutes in a greatly condensed season but that's just me

There's all this talk about "traditional" centers being played out of the game, but could you imagine what guys like Wallace and Marion and Kirilenko etc would be like in today's NBA?

Those three guys were 10-15 years ahead of their time!!

Whiteside would be a solid pickup. Definitely worth a few wins. Hopefully he doesn't cost more than 15 mil.

whiteside has been ruining team defenses for years now lol. portland and miami both couldn't wait to get rid of him... for all the people who say they hated dwight, whiteside is worse.

but as long as its no longer than a two year deal, i don't care.

If we wanted to play someone to average 15 and 12 with slow footed defense we could just play Carey 30 minutes a game at 15% of the cost. Hell no to Whiteside.

if we want a veteran centre, i'd rather a high character guy who could be good a locker room influence

:edit, so shook I lost all grammar skills there

I'd love to see us sign Serge, but i know he's either ring chasing or looking for one final big contract...
