PG: Brandon Jennings, Deron Williams, Randy Foye, Raymond Felton

C: David Lee, Jared Sullinger, Festus Ezeli, Greg Monroe (trade), Vucevic (trade)

 

So how do we replace/upgrade the losses of Lin, Lee and Al??

You figure Frank will get better after his rookie year but need to find a way to get quality replacements and not just bodies.. flipping Hawes/Lamb for cap space is always an option but we need to make another key move because the Knicks, Celtics have both gotten better.. and a few others got some nice additions

We have to trade for a center, I can't fathom this team going into the season starting Zeller out there with Hawes backing him up, I mean, lol.   Especially with the rest of the league getting better at center.  

Hawes did play really well in the playoffs to be fair.

We need a shot blocking center and a back up PG..

Eziel, or trade Zeller..

Ezeli is so ass, got horrifically exposed in the playoffs. I can live with Jennings, and a low-key defensive big signing/trade.

Monroe is essentially a younger Jefferson, but he's got more modern aged Center tools to actually be competitive.

Big men rumored to be available in trades:

Greg Monroe - 2yrs $17 mil

Nikola Vucevic - 3yrs $11.8mil

Marcin Gortat - 3yrs $12mil

Last 2 of those deals look amazing in comparison to the past 2 days.. I would be happy with either

Vucevic is not happening. Monroe is a possibility and so is Gortat but would take moving a 1st round pick.

Monroe is also like  Jefferson on defense.. We need rim protection, and  rebounding, EziEl is  better at that than Monroe by a long shot..

I agree we need defense but out offense works much better with a scoring option in the post, ideally cliff wants us to be a 1 in 4 out offense and you can't do that without someone who can score down low. And who knows maybe cliff and Ewing could get Monroe to be a better more complete player.

Also speaking of centers, whatever happened to the dude in Minnesota who was built like a tank, is he still playing?

Pekovic. Injuries hit him and he hasn't done a thing since 2014

      I need to actually do a full analysis but I think the issue was more that we'd rarely have top-to-bottom awesome drafts but we'd frequently have drafts where only 2-3 players panned out, but the 1st is a Pro Bowler and the other two solid starters or backups. We rarely had drafts where only 1 player was good, and we never had absolute useless drafts. At the very least we always had one really, really good guy. The worst was probably 2005 where we got Thomas Davis (Hall of Honor-quality player) and Geoff Hangartener. Evan Mathis was good, but only after he left.

      Hurney wasn’t good with contracts but I think he was probably above average at drafting.  Not saying he was great.  Just that most draft classes are worthless.

      Ehh, teams earlier this season double and tripled teamed him with decent success. The reason he beasted out so much with Miami was for some reason they did not much at all. Bad call on their part. But that is his purpose. If he is eating up people that is huge, and theoretically should give others the ability to make a play. But his surrounding cast to do that isn’t great. Brown is something OCs have to put a lot of time to plan for.
