Collins would be fine as the starting 5. But, at the very least, he would be an upgrade over the likes of DFS/Vando/Rui as back up small ball 5.
Collins is a switchy 5 that could catch lobs. As a bonus, he could shoot and rebound.
Trade 1: Rui + Knecht + remove protection on 2027 1st to Utah for Collins Trade 2: 2031 1st + #55 to OKC for #15, #24, #40. Draft #15 Clayton...
Our two biggest needs: 1) Two Rim-running, lob-catching bigs: Preferably at least one of them could switch. 2) Point of attack defender:...
I think it's time to discard the f them picks mentality. Luka just turned 26 himself, and we have new ownership. They know you can't just be doing...
There are several teams with multiple draft picks and limited roster spots. At the very least, we should be able to buy a 2nd from some team....
If you are talking about somebody in place of Rui to defend 3 then that's not a huge ask.
Collins is a 4/5. He sounds mostly play at the 5. Think of it as just turning Rui into a 5. Here is an example with Kessler included: PF: James...
LOL. That guy called Collins a wing? Collins is a 4/5, while Rui is a 3/4. It's not lateral. We have a deficit at 4/5 and a surplus at 3/4, so we...
I'm not a fan of any of them, but that guy seems to be a modern gm type. I mean, he uses analytics and stuff. Just kind modern nba stuff, and also...
LOL safer to just say "top dollar" than look like a dummy estimating some crazy amount I guess. I'm saying for Presti specifically, I could see us...
Do you think they will offer a Presti that kind of money?
At the very least, we should be able to buy a 2nd. There are several teams with too many draft picks. I think we should look into trading for at...
Could be a decent option. We have expiring contracts to match up. It would be better if we get a young Marcus Smart before they are Marcus Smart....
Bite the bullet, trade the 2031 1st (unprotected) to a team with two decent first-round picks and draft Niedenhaiuser and Clayton. They are two of...
Yeah, exactly. We are not hopeless and dead in the water wit this. Goodwin and Bronny could actually be candidates for this role. But when you...
On defense, Luka is best guarding 3's, and AR guarding 2's. So, we need someone who could guard 1's. Not exclusively, switching of course, but a...
Seems like Utah would be a good candidate for this, or even Memphis.
1. Make the deal with OKC. 2. Sign Lopez 3. Trade Kleiber + Vincent + Knecht + #24 + 2030 swap + 2028 swap for Claxton.
But, like a Claxton backed up by a Lopez would be ideal. Then, you have a third-string big waiting in the wings (Lopez is 37-years old). Might...
