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

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
