    What else are we going to do with our cap space, build a boat? His defense may be a project, but his offense is already here. Not a bad gamble on a 23 year old center.

    You don't have to use the cap space this year. But you can take back contracts in trade for pretty much nothing with the cap space. The list of FAs isn't all to be considered.

    Kanter is a worthwhile gamble. Only 23 years old. Big men take longer than others to develop so he's still going to get better. There's no reason he can't develop into a decent defender. He's got size, he's got quick feet. It might just be a matter of want-to with him.

    I wonder if Ben Mclemore is available?

    Looking through the rosters for the future 3 and D guys, there just seem so few of em. An I want us to find the next guy, not one who is already there.

    I'd only go for Kanter if Boozer was the other option

    Boozer will never ever be an option.

    I mocked Denny for suggesting we trade for Joe Johnson.

    If we sign Kanter for the max I will apologize.

    I'm an Elliot Williams fan. Guy has stayed healthy for a stint in the D league and with the Jazz. He's a talented wing.

    So, to be honest, I don't know much about Plumlee and Davis. Do they provide enough low post scoring threat to give CJ and Lillard space to make plays or shoot? If not, then hopefully we target another big. It seems like we need another wing too. This team is going to be so different than last year, it's crazy. It's like going from the dry chardonnay to the cab with a lot of body.

    Wish I had more belief in Noah Vonleh. Have read a lot of stuff and watched video.... and I just don't see it.

    Davis does nothing BUT work the low post. He's no Zach Randolph, but he's more than just a garbage man.

    I would only want him for 1 season but why not? You could do a lot worse than Andre Miller as your backup PG.

    With young guys it's difficult to judge how good they'll become..remember Meyers Leonard hate for 2 plus years here?
