Realistic upgrades at C?

[tdotrep2]

Dragic+ for Horford.

thats actually not bad

[FOB]

Only realistic one I'd want is Myles Turner

People are so weird, yes Precious is struggling, but why do we need any C thats not early 20s??

People are justifiably excited about this team, but even despite this record (which shouldnt matter), this team is in full development mode. Keep playing Precious, use Birch as a stop gap (who has been great), and no JVs or anyone pushing, or over 30, for some marginal gain.

St8ill believe that Christian Wood would be a nice at the 5 spot for the Raps.

Not sure what it would take, though.

I don't know if we NEED an upgrade at this time. But I feel like we do need an extra big in case of injuries. Gillespie was supposed to be that guy but then he lost whatever mojo he had going last year.

Because win now with Barnes doesn't need everyone to be early 20s.

And what happen if Achuiwa doesn't plan out or need 5 years (very often bigs started to be good in the mid 20s)?

Getting KAT would involve too many assets.
Stand firm for now and evaluate.

Theres your problem, we arent trying to win now, were developing alot of young players, and wait for an opportunity to consolidate for a generational talent, not a marginal upgrade to get to the second round using our assets. If Dragic alone can net you a Jokic, by all means. Getting JV or _____ using our young talents is going backwards.

[vini_vidi_vici]

And btw, Precious may never pan out, its unlikely but atleast a plausible scenario. Id still rather use our development yrs trying, than wasting assets to have a marginal upgrade and not resign the guy because of our kids extensions coming up.

We have Precious at ~3 mill for the next 2 yrs, a club option for 4+, then RFA yrs. That is perfect. Khem (a stop gap) + whoever you want to slide at the 5 for small ball is fine.

Both of you are half right. I think we are trying to win now, WHILE developing the young players.

The development of Precious Achiuwa.

No need to shuffle the deck like Bryan Colangelo because we're playing well.

[blueseeka]

I do wonder about Gasol for 5-10 minutes a night when Precious struggles.

he wasn't horrible last year and he works great in the Nurse system

And he is free if he is willing to come for the minimum

Yeah, I'm definitely talking to Indiana (and/or anyone who wants Dragic for a three way deal) to see if they have any interest in trimming their salaries a bit by adding Boucher.

[djsunyc]

my guess is precious will be much better by february around the rim. he's already providing defense, rebounding and passing.

If he had any semblance of finishing, we would have little to complain about.

Trust the process.

This team isn't winning the title this year unless they add a top 10ish player so just develop and play the youth. No short cuts or temporary solutions.

It depends, we traded for Gasol back then, so looking to fill that hole isn't a new thing to us (while developing players).

[douggood]

nah dont need upgrade, no realistic C is going to be part of the closing 5, so why spend any assets.

[mrdressup]

Do we have a 7 footer with the 905?
