    Free agency hasn't started. We were never going to get a Center that would be in the rotation via draft. It was always going to be free agency or trade. Can we hold off on the dramatics of not getting a center this week?

    No. It's ridiculous that we didn't get a 2nd rounder rookie to play center in the first year on a contending team!!! FIRE ROB

    If we don't solve our roster issues with 2nd round picks, how will we do it??? Via trade?? Free Agency??? Please...

    Yes, Adou looks pretty good. This will be one of LT's favorites and for good reason.

    Has to be something in the works

    There's no way we start the season without adding another big or 2

    there was almost zero player movement on draft night(s) this year.

    there's still plenty of time to get things done, and all reports indicate we've been active.

    The last trade we did was for a center. Rob said center is a priority in the end of season interview and again yesterday in the draft.
    Can you guys chill?

    And finally, we would be in a really bad place if our center solution was a 2nd round pick, so I really don't understand the expectations.
    This draft with only a 2nd round was to prepare for the future, 2-3 years down the line. Find some guy with potential that fits a need in a Luka-centered team. We moved up 20 places to get an athletic wing that is crucial in any NBA team right now.

    That's an A+ grade draft night for us, tbh
