    i like holmes probably the best of your realistic set. high energy, hustle guy. can be effective in changing tempo with his defense and rim running before he gets too exposed. too bad about 420 arrest in miami though. not sure how that would be viewed by front office. his parents were always advocates on twitter of their son deserving playing time during the course of suns' games last year.

    In the comment section of the tweet that is posted, they pretty much all shred him for his lack of defense. They don't want him.

    I'd also like Crowder in Pdx.

    Nice, if Kanter signs elsewhere Taj would be a really nice fit. He's old but I think he would accept a bench role when Nurk is healthy without it becoming an issue.

    Are you meaning he plays pf with zach c now and then shifts to the bench when zach slides to pf? I dont think either zach or taj are big enough to play big minutes at c right now.

    I'd like for Skal to get a bigger consideration in the rotation. He's super skilled and has great length. For as much as we're talking about Simons, Skal had just as an impressive game against Sac.

    We'll find out once Kawhi makes his decision. If he doesn't go to the Lakers, a lot of shooting in the market is gonna be gone.

    After the Tolliver signing I still think we need to another body at center. I’m just thinking of the very real scenario where Whiteside gets in foul trouble against a team with a traditional center. If Collins is starting at the four, then what? And besides, you really want Collins banging against dudes like Jokic? Kanter and Meyers weren’t good defensively but they were bodies to throw.

    Chandler
    Monroe
    Noah
    Gortat
    Boban

    If you wanna leave a roster spot open for an eventual buyout guy then just rescind Layman.
