Bagley would be a great and cheap trade deadline acquisition. Averaging around 10/6 in about 18 minutes a game, and I think he'd be motivated on a playoff team like the C's. As a backup, he'd be great. And he doesn't make much so you could just do it for Tillman or Boucher (salary) + multiple second round picks probably. Keep Simons as that microwave scorer off the bench even after JT returns.
Yeah Bagley as a backup would be fine, and he has the Duke connection with Tatum. However, there is something not quite right about him. I question his BBIQ (based on eye test only) and not sure he has ever played for a really good team. How would you compare him to DayRon Sharpe who would also be a backup center at low dollars?

I'd love him too. For me, any of Jalen Smith, Day'Ron Sharpe or Marvin Bagley III would be great. I can't really say I can differentiate all three between each other specifically, they are mostly just backup bigs but really good in that role for their teams. And to me, the nice thing is they can grab boards in limited minutes. That's an area I think we need a little more of in our frontcourt even after Tatum comes back. Sometimes we get burned by that and in the playoffs that matters a bit too in crucial spots or stretches

Could be over cautious-But I believe Sam late in the game when trying to break the C's three-point record should have stayed in the flow of the offense. Forcing and firing jump shots at random is a good way to shoot yourself into a slump.

I'm thinking that maybe Joe told him to go for the record.

Maybe we shouldn't think of Okongwu as a starter but rather as a replacement for Horford in that 6th man role. Similar to his role in Atlanta. Okongwu is great in that role.

G: D White, Pritchard
G: J Walsh, Hugo
F: Jaylen, Hauser
F: Tatum, Minott
C: Queta, Okongwu

That would be my projected role for him, replaces AL as an off the bench 5/4. Would give the team roster versatility. Bobby Portis is another guy I could see in that role if the bucks move him maybe the Cs become the 3rd team in a deal?

Here?s half-a-thought: With Queta the only protected center, that still leaves the team shallow at that position. I think you have to give at least some thought to protecting Amari Williams. I say ?half-a-thought? because I do not know who you leave unprotected in that case. Are folks assuming that a trade for a center is going to happen?

Is it typical for a star of Tatum's caliber to be so present for all games? It seems like he is at every single game both at home and away, and I don't feel that you usually see players recovering from such a major injury that present at games, especially superstar-level players.

Great teammate..
does a lot for team unity
All true, but I wonder if it means he may come back sooner, as in February, and wants to feel integrated with the current roster to make a serious run in the playoffs. Certainly Tatum himself is not thinking this is a gap year.
