    From what Olshey has said in interviews, he wants Collins down low. Nurk needs to operate there too since he is not a strong perimeter threat. We do not have a roster spot and think Monroe will latch on to a team with higher playoff aspirations.

    Christian Woods would be my choice. But the roster is set already

    That would make too much sense as Monroe is already developed and closer to the age of Dame and CJ.

    He lacks the motor to want to succeed. Never been as good as he once was in Detroit, for whatever reason.

    No. If we're picking up FA bigs, I want Bebe Nogueira.

    How much different is Monroe from Biggie?

    Monroe can actually score in the post. Swanigan is more of a hustle guy who can occasionally knock down a shot.

    I would 100% take Monroe if we could sign him for the minimum and cut Biggie.

    We should just go get Jahlil Okafor. Looks like he’s lost weight, and he’s got a bigger upside as he’s only 22. We can figure out the roster at the end of training camp.

    I'm worried that we're going to suffer after losing some veteran presence in the post after Ed Davis left.

    Also, this isn't the best place for a young misguided big man. Our bigs are all a mess.

    How long has everyone on this forum clamored for a big man coach now?

    This is probably the most frustrating thing of all. Running offense, running defense, trial and errors, I get the multiple options and match ups and thus, but this is as black and white, 1+1=2, common sense thing to do. I do not understand what the hangup is. Pride? Financial impact? Why do we not have a dedicated and notable big man coach?

    And why did our Rip City Two big man coach schedule a piano move on Championship Sunday?

    Don't be so modest, we were undefeated until you decided not to show up!
