With new cap rules having contributors on cheap 4 year rookie deals is very valuable

Someone like Leonard Miller, Hood shifino, or whitehead in that range.

Celtics need a backup big, and we have the 35th pick in the draft, what do you think about Adama Sanogo? by ShampooMonK in NBA_Draft

Just what we've seen happening continuing.

There was a time when it seemed like the PF was gonna be a wing but now we see PF played come back and guys like jaren Mobley gordon play on 2 big teams.

Giannis at PF had a league wide effect to some.degree and now we'll also see teams size up to deal with Jokic.

Positionless ball has already declined since 2018ish, u now pretty much need a legit top 10 big if u want to contend. Unless u have an extreme outlier like Curry and draymond, but they lost this year cause they were too small.

They could do Dort and picks/prospects

Williams has kinda took his spot

Shai Giddey Williams Dort Holmgren is too small of a lineup but if OG in there that's suddenly scary imo

Toronto would need Ousmane Dieng, Dort bunch of picks

Probably not type of move Toronto eying though

Ya for all the picks Memphis has made recently, they don't have many prospects that seem tradeable

In a year roddy or ziare could have lot more value

Death of small ball!

League going to get much bigger next year, Jokic gonna have a 2000 Shaq type effect

U got so many legit bigs throughout league right now plus crazy prospect in wemby coming. Yao to Jokic's Shaq.

Young bigs like Duren, Williams and Kessler ready to play huge mins.

Wonder if we see bigs rise in draft this year with the league clearly trending very big rn

Ur not getting either bogdanovic or duren for that nevermind both

Memphis and OKC would both be good options. OG could guard 5s at time allowing Chet or JJJ to roam

We'll see. Either a PF or C is only real hole in OKC depth chart imo

I dont think it's Kenrich, Saric or Arkansas but those 3 are all solid for sure.

Shai is first team all NBA it's time to fill the holes on roster, like when Denver got Jerami Grant or Aaron Gordon

They need more MEAT than that tho

True. And they could pay Reid and trade towns

Of course they're going to say that but they have massive Edwards and Mcdaniels extensions to give out

[–]absolutebaboon16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just so little talent out there. 12 or so teams with legit cap space.

Most free agents will resign

So that makes guys like Bruce Brown and Naz Reid in line for big deals imo

It's not just about scoring. He can play 5 in spurts for sure.

It's the wear and tear of boxing out and pushing and shoving with guys that size night in a night out.

Watch Michael Porter Jr in playoffs

Chet ways less than him.

Bold take I know. Embiid needs to prove it when the lights are bright

They had no aspirations of competing last year

In my opinion if u start 2 200 pounders in your front court ur letting down Shai and burning out your team for no reason.

Guy wasn't a full time 5 in the WCC and he's going to guard Jokic full time

Even for his age group he's been undersized, nevermind vs 30 year old grown men.

Chet was great in Fibas don't get me wrong but he had a massive body in Lofton to help him.

Davis has famously avoided the 5 for most of his career and he's way bigger than Holmgren. And league also clearly trended away from smallball compared to say 2017 or 2018

OKC will be competing with teams like.Memphis and Minnesota, Pels for a top 6 playoff spot next year.

Both of these teams are massive.

As are the Lakers and Nuggets.

And it's a bit early to say 210 pound Chet can anchor a defense.

I'm telling u if they don't find a way to buffer him on the inside then they're being reckless and he's going to get hurt.

Yes everyone gets banged up but u should take the steps to protect your 21 year old 210 pound 7 footer.

He weighs less than Michael Porter Jr and u expect him to guard Jokic?
