I'm thinking now that we have Hayward , We're about set. I like this team , Only tweak i'd make right now is a backup pg. (perhaps we should pick up Barbosa again) , and get a big body.

I know , I know he's not a prize like he used to be but he is a big body and I think even at this point he's still better than Zeller was, But we can get Roy Hibbert for a washing machine & a pack of gum. What direction do you guys think we should go? What tweaks would you make?

Hibbert's decline has been one of the most fascinating things ever. How he has been unable to carve out minutes as a backup defensive minded center is beyond me. He was seeing 1.6 minutes on the nuggets. He appears to be a free agent now...

  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
I keep mentioning this name. . .

Andrew Bogut.

Durability aside, he's the kind of guy you'd want Ante Zizic to learn from. What he can bring as far as mentorship would be as much, if not more valuable than what he can bring on the court.

This is a guy who the current DPOY credits for learning a lot from. This is the perfect big brother / mentor for our young Center to pick his brains and develop defensive techniques/mentality from.

I'd ask Hayward his thoughts on Jeff Withey.

This is not an encouraging thing to hear.

Big man in the middle. Opponents improved their offensive rating 6.3 points with him on the floor, though.

Hopefully that just shows how good Gobert is. But I agree, that stat doesn't look good.
