    Pretty important based on how often most centers get hurt. I get your point that centers are not as important as they used to be. But regardless of what you call them, someone needs to protect the rim and guard other bigs.

    Sure. But we have a backup center. The Celtics backup Center us Luke Kornet. The Bulls is Tony Bradley. Is drew Eubanks worse than them?

    how would this change if we acquired thybulle without giving up anything in return?

    Dame (32) / Ant (16)
    Ant (16) / Hart (16)/ GP2 (16)
    Thybulle (24)/ Hart (12)/ Little (12)
    Grant (28) / Little (12)/ Watford (8)
    Nurk (28) / Watford (12)/ Eubanks (8)

    Dame - 32
    Ant - 32
    Grant - 28
    Hart - 28
    Nurk - 28
    Little - 24
    Thybulle - 24
    Watford - 20
    GP2 - 16
    Eubanks 8

    I don't like that. Everyone would have to play up a position and we'd completely remove Sharpe from the rotation.

    Except I think Payton gets more than 18 minutes and Sharpe likely gets less

    Weird people have Little coming off the bench. I don't agree. I think he's the starter, regardless if we had a Thybulle and I think Hart is better off the bench.

    How do we get him without giving up anything? Where is Winslow in that scenario? I honestly prefer Hart starting over Thbulle. Not quite as good of a defender as Tybulle but he is still a better 2-way player.

    I prefer Nas over both.

    we can take him into our Roco TPE and stay below the apron if we stretch Bledsoe. Would have to give up a pick of some sort. it helps Philly open up capspace if Harden decides to not take as big a paycut.

    I guess I should have read the "hard cap and you" thread in more detail. I thought we could not bring in more than we send out.

    Nurk has averaged 30+ mpg once in his career. Getting 30+ from him is a major task. Part of why I’ve championed the cause he isn’t worth more than 12.5 per year.

    Sharpe needs to play early and often. He needs game time reps, not practice reps… in order to get better.

    Reminds me of the G league coach for Dyson Daniels saying he got much better partially because they let him grow during the season “in games” and they didn’t just pull him.

    Gotta let him suck up the Rose Garden for a little bit in order for him to bust out after ASG.

    Or he could get consistent minutes in the G league like Dyson did until he has improved enough to play for us by the end of the season.

    All good. I dont get 90% of it either.

    We can use our tpe to do that as long as we stay under the apron. Thybulle makes about 4.5 mil. If we stretch Bledsoe we can bring that contract for MT in

    Either is Watford. He’s a bit overrated by Blazers fans. If Nurkic goes down we’re fucked pretty hard.

    Not a fan because his role will be much different next to Dame/Ant … and we don’t have a G league affiliate

    Dame (34)/ Simons (14)
    Simons (20)/ GPII (20)/ Hart (8)
    Little (27)/ Hart (21)
    Grant (32)/ Winslow (16)
    Nurkic (30)/ Watford (18)

    This is when everyone's healthy. No team stays healthy. Sharpe will get his minutes as guys miss time. Though I guess there's the chance that he's just undeniable right from the jump, in which case, he probably takes Winslows' minutes...

    Dame (34)/ Simons (14)
    Simons (20)/ GPII (20)/ Sharpe (8)
    Little (12)/ Hart (28)/ Sharpe (8)
    Grant (32)/ Little (16)
    Nurkic (30)/ Watford (18)

    I want to see:
    Hart, GP2, Nas, Grant, Nurk
    Hart, GP2, Winslow, Grant, Nurk
    Same as above but switch GP2 with Sharpe

    I think we definitely see your lineup above at some point.
