The “how doooo yooooou doooo!” bit has been used for ages by Rick Jeanneret of the Sabres.. it’s a good one.

The question is - do we want to use Zeller's $13m to address the center position now or in the offseason?

I can't stand him anymore.. JB sat him in the 1st half for the rest of the game because he was atrocious.. LA kept switching him onto LeBron and he was bbq chicken 🐔 💀..

I think we gotta make something happen..

I think the team will look at the buyout market.

guys that are bought out will be jumping to title contenders.. not 5-10 seed teams (which we are)..

I know this season has been exciting for a lot of us - but don't get it twisted - we are not an attractive FA destination.. not to mention the FA big men this offseason won't move the needles for us.. the expiring $15m (Zeller) in salary dollars is worth more to small-market teams on the Trade Market than the FA Market..

we just have to make smart trades that don't disrupt the long-term success of the organization.. either you use the $15m now OR reinvest to lockup Monk/Graham.. if we use it to lockup Monk, we still have a huge hole in the middle of the defense

I say we flip Zeller now for someone like Myles Turner, let Graham walk and do our best to keep Monk.. if he cashes in with someone else - so be it..

Ball - Terry - Hayward - PJ - Turner = top 4 seed in East next year

we cant lose both monk & graham...and I say graham is more valuable than monk

with that said, we have to get better in the middle

You seem to know the potential buyout market more than me.  I agree that most bought out want a  contender.  However, you don't think there is a big that wants minutes and potentially rehabilitate image?  Show your potential on a team with cap space and definite need at C.

Huge win against a solid Spurs playoff team. The schedule does get a bit easier down the stretch I believe and we definitely do have enough talent to still be a top 6 seed and get some playoff experience -- if some of our inconsistent guys (PJ especially) can step it up and try to fill the void of Melo. It really sucks Melo is out and I'd love to get another high lottery pick that we could hit on to pair with Melo going forward, but if we can pull it off and get a top 6 seed I'd also love to see this team back in the playoffs. Even without Melo, guys like PJ, Bridges, Graham, Monk could use some really valuable playoff experience

      Youth pastor. Lol. But yep. There is something about Canales that I can’t my finger on, but it is probably that he is a bit like a televangelist and I am not entirely sure the facade is real. But I am a cynic basically, anyway.  His football resume is good enough for me. We’ll see how the season goes.  I do agree with the Morgan/Canales team. There is a lot of synergy, and I think they can Stay on the same page too. I mean, right now they are aligned, but will that last? I think so. Obviously there would need to be some success involved for that to happen but these two are the best things have been since we were taken over by that carpetbagger.

      Draft Day 2: Look Ahead/Targets

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Who do y'all got? Some rumblings... If we stay put at 39, I can see us going the DB Tampa/Sainistril or LB Colson/Cooper/Wilson routes.  Maybe Marshawn Kneeland at EDGE.  A double dip at WR could be fun - McConkey or Franklin would be interesting guys to compliment Legette.  Don't be surprised if we invest higher than you'd like at RB today (Benson, Wright, Brooks) A presser takeaway - If we're looking for guys to fill roles as Canales described, I think both Wash products in Polk & McMillan would be strong options remaining in this draft that would compliment the WR room we're building.  Can play X, Z, slide inside, do a bit of everything.  Brenden Rice & Javon Baker are two notables with X potential at 65 or later And if we're looking for life after Thielen/not sure about Mingo, I would NOT discount Roman Wilson, Malik Wash, or Corley. Gut leans DB or LB, but won't be surprised if it's a double dip.

      Why do I still have this feeling that Washington got the best qb last night?  I will have to monitor that situation up there. I can't explain it it, it's just a gut feeling.  It could also be gas.
