2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jason Terry]

I agree with the idea that a more traditional big that can't get played off the floor because of matchup hunting is what we want, but of all fan bases....shouldn't we be the ones recognizing that Zubac is not that guy?  He got played off the floor in two straight series against us as well as the Jazz series.  The limitations of a player like that is also why I'm way out on Gobert.  I know that he's more talented than other bigs and could probably make up for some of his limitations when getting switched out to the perimeter (which we were all witnesses to a week ago), but the skillset he brings isn't worth the contract he brings because then you're kind of stuck again in terms of roster rearrangement the same way we were with KP.

The list of established guys that don’t get played off the court in the playoffs is small. Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, Bam…..and maybe Ayton now too. It’s not easy to get one of these guys who can do it all in the playoffs 

We need the “Zubac” big mainly for the regular season, but also possibly for the playoffs. Being versatile and having lineup options will make us a better team…..the main lineup though should continue to be small ball going forward with one mobile big or even none if we feel like it. I view DFS as the Draymond Green of this defense who can guard 1-5

Gobert makes no sense. Strategically it makes sense to go cheap on bigs and save the big money for the other positions. Like how smartly run NFL franchises go cheap at RB

Collins and Grant make the most sense if you want a big name player who fits what we want to do. Holmes would be great for a mid level option, though he could sit during the playoffs if we need him too. Cheap (vet min) options are everywhere. Thomas Bryant?
