 I have high hopes for Yabu but let's be real. And if you can't think of a perfect fit from this year.

 Go back and give me some ideal fits from yesteryear.

I'd love to see Karl Anthony Towns.  He's a great rebounder, a lethal interior scorer, and can stretch the floor from the 4 / 5 spot. Obviously this will not happen, but if I could cherry pick one guy off another team's roster and put him in our front court - that'd be the guy.

 I hear you bro. Plus it's the Dominican connection with Horford and Town's.

Anthony Davis works,
Paul George at the 4 works,
else I'd simply stick with KO.

Well to be perfect for Brad he needs to be at least adequate as a passer and he must be able to stretch the floor.

To fit perfect next to Al, he needs to be a terrific rebounder and must be able to defend decently well on the perimeter(Al cant do this).

So, who out there is a good passer, who can stretch the floor, defend the perimeter and (bonus) provide a physical presence inside whether thats strength and tougness or shot blocking.

Blake Griffin actually has the near perfect skillset. Kristapz checks a lot of those boxes. If Millsap rebounded the tiniest bit better, hed be perfect.

If you are talking recent draft picks, Id say: Sabonis, Chriss(mediocre rebounder) and maybe Gordon(neither a rebounder nor floor spacer) and Randle(cant defend perimeter and cant spread floor).

Really no prospects in recent memory(outisde Kristaps) are both decent NBA players and check all those boxes.

Johnathan Isaac is really close. He has the size and athleticism to defend the perimeter and also could rebound well. Hes also got a nice stroke from the outside. Problem with him is that he isnt a good passer(not a dealbreaker) and he strikes me as more of a finesse guy, he has a skinnier frame and might not as much toughness and rebounding as I think is ideal.

Blake - Cant pass nor shoot the 3
And Isaac - asthma condition

If we were talking about realistic targets, I 'd say Millsap.

Generally speaking, a healthy Anthony Davis would be nice as well. :P

My dream fit would be KG or Timmy. Most likely Timmy gets the nod but it's a close call. Of course KG and Timmy are the perfect fit for any team.

I really miss KG. :(

Im starting to think Millsap may not be a bad idea.
