What do you guys think of Marc Gasol as a backup center for Brook?

ew

Wes Mathews is still available as a fa, correct?

gross

I think there are enough other inaccuracies on this page to discount the number assignments.

Whoever is responsible for updating the website on the backend is always slow to do it. You won't see updated anything until everyone has gotten a chance to take a new headshot during media day.

They're ahead compared to realgm forums on franchise logos. Just won a championship & it's still the logo from Kohl era...

ETA I see that this is widespread on RGM. Bobcats for the Hornets is probably worse.

Thanks fir pointing this out. I was thinking aftergsme 6....damn...get a ring but still not worthy of a realm logo update.

This entire website is stuck in 2002 lol

Bucks have 25 games on ABC/ESPN/TNT. Lakers have 30.

I have no issues with that. Clippers having 27 grinds my gears.

Why? It's a free market based League, you make more money by showing teams in cities that have millions of basketball fans, there's nothing more to it. Who gives a crap? Let them make money.

I mean obviously I misunderstood the numbers but I was questioning wether a Kawhi-less Clippers team has more pull than the recent NBA champions.the Milwaukee Bucks. But this isn't the case. The GS numbers are a bit wierd cause to me they look like a mediocre team but the media/Vegas expects them to make a win now trade down the line.

Last thing RGM needs is upgrade, I've never once seen website "upgrade" where I thought it was better after. How much do people get to design that?

these types of forums are dinosaurs

I generally haven't enjoyed their national TV games. Doesn't have the same cachet of those early games on NBC back during the 2001 run. And Marv was terrible and Reggie was insufferable on those TNT games.

But it'll be interesting to see who takes over for Paschke, because that'll be a big factor in the enjoyment of BSWI games. I'm hoping LePay will take the bump from calling Badgers games.

I think it’s cool to have these national games because of the recognition/exposure but every national game is a game I can’t watch on League Pass and that’s lame.

Here’s hoping we don’t get the play-by-play equivalent of Steve Novak.

I don’t even think it’s a trade down the line. People just think the Warriors are a legit contender in the West with their current roster while also having the potential to make a significant upgrade. And on top of that, Curry drives ratings more than probably any other player in the NBA, so even if they weren’t a contender, they’d get a ton of national games.

It's not even that complicated, SoCal simply has millions of basketball fans who are ready to click on links and watch advertisements and buy stuff. Basically what it comes down to. "Strength in numbers" LOL

[LUKE23]

Really feel that Portis is the only backup rotation big we need, considering our availability to play Giannis at C lineups. I'm fine keeping Diakite on the roster, although I still don't have a lot of hope for him being a contributor.

I think the Bucks are better than last year after the Allen addition. We are basically shifting Augustin/Teague minutes to Hill, and Tucker/Forbes minutes to Allen and potentially Semi/Hood.

I do think we will miss Tucker's leadership and locker room presence (even though I hate cliches), but in terms of actual on-court play, I think Allen is more of a net positive than Tucker would be at age 37. He's definitely a better shooter and more versatile offensively, and while not quite as "tough" on D, he still holds his own in that regard. Hill is definitely a better defender than Teague and at same volume, comparable/better shooter.

If DDV is healthy, I actually really like the five guard rotation we have with Holiday/DDV/Hill/Allen/Connaughton.

I’m in. We should sign him simply to keep him off the market from other contenders if the Lakers release him.

He’s washed, but having mobile bigs who can shoot the 3 (Marc and Ibaka) are what cause us problems (2019 Raptors)

[raferfenix]

Pau closed out his career in Milwaukee fwiw.

Marc wouldn’t be the most inspired addition but I could imagine him having enough gas left in the tank to spend a few mins guarding the likes of Embiid and Ayton if Lopez gets in foul trouble at least.

Wouldn’t be the first time the Lakers gifted us a center they undervalued too.

Would hate to see him on the Heat.

Realistically we're looking for at most 2 players that can beat out Diakite/Bryant through this off-season and the buyout-season/end of European season. Any misstep will cost us 5+m with taxes. Wouldn't be surprised if we just wait for buyout season.

Warriors aren't SoCal though.

[JayMKE]

Marc wouldn’t be bad insurance

[emunney]

Cutting Diakite for Marc would be a far better move than cutting Wood for Pau Tim Frazier.

[Wisky4life]

We are sitting at....Do we make any other moves or can we even? I am open for a Diakite for Gasol move.

PG: Holiday........Hill
SG: DDV............Allen..........Hood
SF: Midds..........Conny..........Thanisis............Kalaitzakis
PF: Giannis........Ojeleye.......Nwora
C: Lopez...........Portis..........Diakite

2-way: Bryant (Probably) and Mamukelashvilli

Feel a veteran big is needed. Diakite is ****…don’t want to see him get any minutes unless it’s garbage time. Also don’t think Nwora will ever be worth a **** so if someone values him we should trade to get a future pick.

[ShootingtheJ]

If Diakite sticks around, then he should get a shot defending KD. He has the length and quickness. Can't really be worse than what we've done in the past.

We don't need another true center.
