The home run situation would be Drummond in buyout but getting whiteside would be good enough .

no he ain't


Yeah he is. If for nothing else, he has more juice left in his legs and is more mobile.

Boogie has never been a Defensive stopper... Marc at least has that reputation, along with the stats this season that support it, and a rep for durability... Boogie also gets Ts when asked to play hard nosed D...

I am pretty sure our Defense would be worse with Boogie over Marc.

Of all the washed 7'ers we can pull from (including Porzingis) I agree with the rumors from the FO... Whiteside is the best option.

I've seen enough of Gasol. Cut him and sign Boogie.

These guys are the same player. They look good on paper. They don't look good when you watch them, because they aren't.

he's fully guaranteed at 2.56 mil and 2.69 mil for a season after this

this is probably why gasol asked for a 2 year vet min contract, fully guaranteed. so we can't simply cut him.

give his agent a raise

Besides Drummond and a few more NBA players, there is surely a seven footer or two in the Euro leagues who plays defense and can pass and can be bought out. What’s our overseas scouting situation like?

We need a low post big body who moves his feet on defense. Offensively, we need a passer who can get cheap put backs.

Boogie and Trez... this is enough to pull us toward the bottom of the league on defense.
