First 48: who is left on wish list


bLACKpANTHER

Recommended Posts

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
