    I mean this is clearly a win now deal. By itself it’s not good enough, but there is some flexibility it gives us mid season to move Powell, RoCo or Nurk.

    You mean like Saddiq Bey, who was available at the pick we traded on draft day for RoCo? Or Isaiah Stewart, who was TAKEN with that pick, and led all rookies in WIN scores?

    So Cleveland thought giving Markkanen 70m was better than two firsts? I like Markkanen but man that’s a risk.

    One other thing about Nance-- he has also been bitten by the injury bug. All three of our bigs are serious injury risks.

    Want me to list all the players who were taken after Zach? Caleb? Ant? Nas? who are contributing in the NBA in their first few seasons while we were told to wait on potential?

    There variety ways they can use Nance. He can score inside or out. You can put him in pick and roll. Defensely it will definitely help that 2nd unit this plus for this team and just might change my win totally for this team. He also had some pretty big games last year. Biggest thing for him is to stay healthy.

    I hear you... but what bigs in the NBA aren't injury risks anymore? I think many teams can say this, not just us

    Hey it's a good move, and a need. I want to wish DJJ the very best. And a fantastic future. He's going to an up & coming Eastern Conference team .

    I like the move, but there is still more to be done to balance out this roster and actually put us in contender status.
