Developing Flagg is the most important thing going forward. We probably keep the three real bigs since all 3 have an injury history and could suffer replapse so you need the talent level deep in case we are cursed by the injury bug again. TDL is likely when any trade is made after they were able to re-establish their value and being more established in the eyes of potential suitors. I know I would want to see what they do as they get back to playing and who knows who has need for such bigs when they have not even begun to test what they could have in the way of bigs to pick in the coming draft. There are a lot of bigs only teams with little chance will hit the draft for a starter since all the main contenders have centers except LA and GSW who should look to add more size in the draft. I say we should move to add some as well since it will only lower options for LA and GSW etc while giving us someone to groom as a replacement for some big we trade. Other option is to dump others we have for more picks in the draft and add a PG and or SG/PG to serve as a cheaper way to add talent and protect our ability to make moves as we manage our cap space. Coopers old PG at Duke is 6'5 and shoots 40% from 3, there are a lot of 7 foot bigs that will go later in the 2nd round and some may even slip out of the draft plus Moses Brown and Kai Jones did good as fill ins. Kessler Edwards also deserves looking at as a SF backup. OMax is about done if he does not start to improve his shooting and I mean fast. A trade for a PG would be more appropriate than drafting Dukes PG but it may be an option that factors into salary situations and given his size and ability to hit 3's so he could play at the 2 I would not rule it completely out.
