I am pro Vucevic. It’s harder to find a skilled big man who has good low post game as well as being able to stretch the floor and rebound. He’s an average/passable defender. It’s easier to find defense only type guys and it’s a waste of money to spend that much on someone like Adams (albeit a nice player but not for the money).

Vucevic would also be a great fit for what Stevens runs on offense. Good at scoring, rebounding, and also a nice passer for a big.

TP ....he is the overall best option , i suspect he'll max , he is in his,prime.   Plays hard , doesn' complain that i ve heard of.  Willing to mix it up and play inside ....unlike KO and his brother Zeller ...Whimps.

On ESPN, Woj said Cs and Lakers would be interested in Vucevic if he does not really-sign in ORL.

Vucevic seems like a Stevens type of guy. Not a great defender but decent passer and very good offensive player that can stretch the floor. Not sure exactly how much he would cost though.

Lakers can't sign him and Kyrie or Cp3 ...these are all max or near max players .....they would be lucky to,afford one and then sign 8 G league players

I went with Capela. Young, on a bargain contract, great shot blocker and rollman. I think he has upside as a passer in the short roll. You usually don't see players like him with the agility to do euro step finishes.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Call me loony for even mentioning this player but read an interesting article about the guy we wanted a few years back. Larry Sanders...it seems that year the Cavs got him to make sure he did not okay for anyone else and then dumped him a game before playoff rosters. Essentially leaving him out in the cold and frustrated. Why not give him an invite and see if he could help? He has been staying basketball busy and might be worth a peek.
