2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jommybone]

I assume you mean "another big who will contribute." While I understand this thinking, I don't see how 5 centers is a good plan. It's terribly unbalanced roster management - you need to have enough players to amply cover the other 4 positions on the court.

It also isn't very realistic to have 3 guys who are good enough to play 20-30 mpg, all splitting the minutes at one position. That's not how the league works (it's very player-driven). Not how the money fits into practical cap management, either.

Ha! What else would I mean? We need a taller Pinson?

I think Chriss is a fabulous long-term project. I doubt he helps any this year. But maybe he’s the 3rd big in next year’s rotation? Maybe. I like Bertans more than most. (Not as much as Kam does, but close.) I just don’t think he’s a big. I have given up on Boban getting off the bench. So he doesn’t count at all, in my mind. 

More importantly, I think we’re loaded at the other positions already.

Guards: Brunson, Dinwidde, Green, Hardaway
Forwards: Doncic, Finney-Smith, Bullock, Bertans

I don’t see a realist opportunity to improve significantly at guard or forward. Not unless LeBron wants to play a supporting role on team Luka. And having the flexibility to go big with Maxi and DFS at the forward spots seems really valuable.
