    Yeah, the fact that Portis is inconsistent and always has been is the reason why despite his great finals performance, I think he'll be available for the TP MLE. I like him better than Olynyk and Ibaka but I could see wanting them too.

    Olynyk is a great defender, I would love for us to get him. But my plan a is still Otto Porter jr.

    I don't understand this. Spend $6M on a guy to play 12 minutes a game? Because you're probably not getting a guy big enough to really play next to Dame. But if so, you cut Ants minutes? Or do you play Powell a lot at the 3? Either way you're buying back into one of the reasons you traded C.J. in the first place.

    All we need Simons to do is bring the ball up and initiate offense and rely on ball and player movement to get our buckets with the bench unit. If you have Siakam, you just have him and Dame stagger minutes and you let Siakam bring the ball up with the bench unit.

    Even if we trade CJ, I don't see PG being the position we go after with the Tax MLE.
