    Oh god.

    DSJ / Barrett / Knox / Randle / Cousins

    I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than watch that team.

    Some Knicks fans probably think that with that line-up, they can be a contenda'.

    I'm not worried in the slightest about Boston or LAL signing him. The Bulls however are just dumb enough to sign him to a big deal when they already have two really good young bigs in Markkanen and Wendell Carter JR.

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but Kanter is whatever to me.

    Nice to have while Nurk is out, but would rather have Zach and a spacing 4 as the frontcourt off the bench.

    I think after about 10 games into this season, you will be begging to have him back.

    For certain situations he's useful and he plays well off Dame in a pnr as both a finisher and offensive rebounder.

    But when Nurk is healthy, Kanter's value to this team plummets imo.

    And I also still really believe in Zach and I'm tired of watching us waste his talents playing the 4.

    Would much rather find a combo big/forward that can play alongside both Zach and Nurk.

    Our bench struggled without him, remember how many times they blew a lead away? He's huge from the bench, not only his scoring, but also his rebounding

    I heard that Darren Collison has changed to Klutch Sports, Lebron's company? Any idea where he will end up?
    What a joke...

    Zach to me will not be a good 5 until he gets a lot bigger, he needs to be able to rebound and not get pushed around. He’s also gotta stop with the silly fouls. I think he belongs at the 4 and in some situations the small ball 5, but he’s not really a presence in the paint yet, getting there though. Sorry if this comes off as argumentative rather than trying to have a discussion.

    Serge Ibaka is Kawhi leaves is my dream target. Especially if he can get that 3pt shot back..

    Collins and Ibaka are pretty duplicative. I'd like a better decision maker / playmaker, personally.

    Ibaka processes the game pretty slowly on both ends.

    Decent fit though in some respects and had some really good moments in the finals.

    We would definitely do worse.

    If theres any skill to have duplicated in bigs though, I think itd be 3 & D.

    Id love a BG type, I just dont think ones out there.

    Yup. It's a rare set of skills to find in combo forward sized players.

    It's why I wanted a certain player from Tennessee ;).
