Where are our moves for the bigs?
Procrastination is very bad......
I know we got 2nd rounder in the next century from Indy for the #38, but we also got cash. Anyone have an idea how much it was, since it was a somewhat early 2nd round pick ?

Richards for Malaki works...ideally I would trade Malaki and a pletora of seconds girl Richards and Fleming...
Blake Wesley is probably more realistic. Suns could use another PG and he looks like he might have a future in this league whereas Malaki probably doesn't.
Blake for Richards straight up works. So you can toss a couple seconds in with him to sweeten the pot.
It's a much smaller splash than other options, but it seems viable and would help the team. This is the team that so desperately needed a Center we ended up starting Bismack Biyombo last year after all.
Free agency doesn't start for four days.
Priority 1 sign Aldama.
Priority 1 is backup center. They literally don't have one on the roster right now.
I like Richards. A red flag to me is how quickly Phoenix moved off him. I know he was mostly trade filler, but they kicked the tires with a need at that position then traded for broken Mark Williams.
Isn’t he restricted? Memphis should want to keep him.
I like Yabusele. He has proven chemistry with Wemby and made 38% from 3 point line.
Richards iirc is a chucklehead. I don't think the Spurs will bother.
I said priority 1 big is Aldama. I didn’t say Aldama is the only big the Spurs should sign. There are a handful of inexpensive “seasoned” big that can pick up the minutes that are needed if Wemby, Aldama, who does play some C for the Grizzlies, or even Sochan at times fill in as center.
Aldama is a great, great compliment to Wemby, playing on the foor with or without Wemby who’s just entering his prime, could play many minutes with Wemby, is smart, a good shooter from three levels who can space the floor, effective rebounder and gets his share off steals. He’s not going to shut down the perimeter but is a effective defender particularly from the weak side and if he got a little stronger would be an even more effective defender. Like I said he’s the one I’d target as long term versatile big PF/C which he’s considered. I’d then get a low priced, experienced, past his prime big to fill in the other as the other big for the remaining limited minutes to give you a few fouls against the ADs, Embids Jokers of the world. There are a few of them to choose from. Maybe eventually you invest in a more permanent BIG in the next year or twos drafts or do what the Spurs did sometimes in Duncan, Parker and Manu’s year of picking up relatively inexpensive, relatively journeymen. But for now target 1 is Aldama, fingers crossed.
I'm not familiar with the player. I just saw his team picked up two other Centers and figured he might be on his way out.
Not sure what a "chucklehead" is precisely, but it doesn't sound good, lol
We will likely be priced out if all we have is the MLE. He likely signs for more than that. And I imagine if he DID agree to that deal then Memphis would just match and keep him anyway.
Would probably have to look into a S&T to get him. Would Memphis want Devin Vassell, Sochan or Keldon?
Probably, Edey being out 1/2 the year doesn’t make it any less likely they won’t try to sign him. If I were Brooklyn I’d put a nice fat contract on his plate.
There was a report that MEM wanted to S&T him.
He’s my favorite possible (known) acquisition target… but I’m not sure if the Spurs will actually rate him.
What's the latest on Kornet? Sounds like Boston wants to retain but needs to shed more salary due to being hardcapped by the second apron. Would they be able to match 13m/yr (which is what Adams received)?
Signing Kornet for the MLE and Yubusele for the BAE seems like the most ideal route. Then the minimum for a third string center.
Richards is a capable backup center who has continuously be thrust into starting roles. He's had to start a ton for Charlotte because Mark Williams kept getting hurt, and he had to start for Phoenix because they inexplicably traded for him with the purpose of starting him.
He is also on a 5 mil expiring deal, which is nice in that its cheap this year, but i imagine he gets a bit more as a free agent and then we have to re-address the question in a year without a developmental center in the pipeline
i think its clear boston wants to retain kornet, i think the precursor there is them moving off the Hauser money
Would be surprising to see if that happens. Given Tatum is out for next year and Hauser being on a very reasonable long term contract, I would value Hauser more than Kornet if I were the Celtics. Would be a hard choice there.
Although the Celtics could get draft assets back by offloading Hauser while they would have to let Kornet go for free.
Apparently, we are allergic to bigs or something. Maybe a tall person stole Wrights lunch money in school. I know we have Victor, but aside from him, we have diarrhea. We need size.
Too bad the off season is over.
is it October already?
Monday at 6:00 PM 6/30 we can start wheelin' and dealin,' Official time being July 6 to finalize.
The absolute high end option I could see, is Bitadze. The Magic don't have much financial flexibility, are out a lot of picks and have depth at C with Carter Jr., Wagner and Isaac (granted, they're all flight risks durability wise and the latter isn't a true C, but they've increasingly played him at it in recent seasons).
Branham or Wesley plus a couple of 2nds could entice them.
