Yeah.. with other Bigs like PJ, Biz + 2 rookies.. we might need to either sign a FA center (Ian Mahinmi?)
OR we could play a heavy amount of small-ball...

PG: Graham - Ball
SG: Rozier - Monk
SF: Hayward - Martin
PF: Bridges - McD
C: PJ - Biz

I mean that is probably a stronger scoring lineup.. 5 shooters.. gotta help PJ down low - but it's impossible to be worse than Zeller..
but we will probably do the "veteran move" and play it safe...

PG: Graham - Ball
SG: Rozier - Monk
SF: Hayward - Bridges - Martin
PF: PJ - Bridges - McD
C: Biz - PJ

I hate playing small ball and having our young guys that have no business playing inside getting bullied by legit NBA big men. We get killed on the boards and defensively. Small ball is stupid but looks like that's what we are going to rely on until we decide to get some bodies that can bang around down low. Borrego's idea of positionless basketball doesn't work.  We have a surplus of back court players. We need to use that to find a center or its going to be one ugly season. No way we should have been that bad against the shitty cavs.

      The right answer is neither and drafting Maye with the #1 Pick of the 2024 Draft lmfao we traded away the #1 in a QB LOADED DRAFT

      REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

      I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.

      They weren't well thought out. We needed one, not both. 2 top center/guard candidates were going to be available in the 2nd. We would have been fine with JPJ or Frazier. Drafting either over XL or Brooks would have made perfect sense. Hell, drafting both would have made sense even if we had signed Lewis or Hunt. Instead we drafted a 1 year wonder project WR and a luxury RB that we didn't need since we had Hubbard. Draft IOL, pay tackles. Plenty of 2nd round guards and centers start immediately and play very well. Those 2 picks were not good then, now, no matter how much explaining anyone tries to do. Several of called it then.
