Could Mo Bamba start alongside Jakob? "Twin Towers 2.0"

[cd98]

I don't think Twin Towers work in this era. I mean, maybe if you have Tim and David in their primes because they were mobile bigs that could switch and having two guys that can guard the paint would be interesting to see repeated. But in this day and age, most 4s are really just 3s that can shoot 3s and play defense. And the big guy is more of a token player unless he is a generational star like Jokic or Embid.

I don’t subscribe to OP’s view but Bamba probably has more upside on offense than most ppl think. Nice touch from outside, easy rim rolling target and capable clean up guy. All he has to do is set screens and get fed for 15 a game from DJ.

in place of Poeltl, sure, but not both of them at the same time imo

Agreed. Some reasons why Bamba makes sense if we move Jak.

[RC_Drunkford]

we need a 4 to play the PF spot not another 5

Agreed. When I see mocks saying we will draft Duren at 9 I think that's all well and good but we still need an NBA starting level power forward.

[Thomas82]

I would rather trade Poetl and draft his replacement.

[Texas_Ranger]

yes he could, if we were in the 90's... Oh, and they would still suck back then as well.

[mookie2001]

Don't look at his stats just that game where he hit 6-7 threes against us and had 26 and 11.

[Proxy]

we should sign Mo and Bam, and do a triple tower SL imo

I wouldn't pay crazy money for Bamba but if we could get him for something reasonable then I'd happily toss Poeltl in the bushes for him.

We need a big who isn't scared to death of the ball on offense and spends most of the season making over 40% of their free throws. Bamba fits that description. Poeltl does not.

Also after this season its going to be time to either lose Poeltl for nothing or pay stupid money for a guy who is going to go his entire nba career never making a shot outside the free throw line

He just made a half court buzzer beater this season.
