    More Nassir minutes would be nice.

    We have GOT to swap DJJ for somebody who can guard the 4. A taller RoCo would be the dream.
    If Chicago waives Aminu - sign him up! If not, trade DJJ for him.
    Also: has NO cut ties with Wenyen? He couldn't hurt either.
    ALSO: sign Isaac Bonga!
    ALSO: And Chris Chiozza.

    What's happening with Kanter? I love the guy, just not on our team. Houston could in theory sign him just to mentor Alperen Şengün, except that I'm sure Şengün would avoid him like the plague, because his own family would suffer back home otherwise.

    Just trade Dame for Simmons and suddenly everything looks balanced!


    (I'm actually serious.)

    If he could grow three inches, that would be even nicer.

    Very much this. Still room for a couple more players....and it needs to be bigger wings and a center.

    Have we heard anything about Milsap? When they played us first round, I'm sure he got the impression he'd be needed here...

    Cheer up - your team could be the Spurs (although they are suddenly the youngest team in the league).

    it really sounds like we're gonna run it back with largely the same team.

    we're gonna act like this same team didn't get smoked by a Denver team missing multiple starters?

    I think Dame might gently remind us. Especially if he's in a pissy mood after missing out on a medal.

    I don't know about you but getting Zeller doesn't stop me dreaming that in the slightest. WITH Zeller we still only have two players bigger than 6'8". And Nance is better than Zeller, certainly defensively.

    our GM decided to use Enes Kanter as his only big man for more than half the season last year. He doesn't believe in getting tall dudes. Melo played center minutes.

    If Zeller truly is for the minimum, I imagine it has to come with some guarantee of playing time. And Nance plays mostly center. I don't expect Olshey to then trade for another big when he thinks he already has the position filled.

    With that said, I was patient zero on the Nance thing, so I'd be happy with that. I just don't think it's happening.
