Premium Member Diesel Posted June 27, 2019 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Bringing Jeremy Lin back? Also... Dedmon, Stein, or go real hard with Vucevic? Would anybody take Al Horford at this point? Here's my thing. We get absolutely no looks. People are talking about us landing Malcolm Brogdon. Only if he can play PG. However, I doubt he comes to BU Trae. He's been a starter. We need a BU PG and a C. Why aren't we in the Vucevic conversation. Why aren't we in the Corey Joseph Conversation? Honestly, I felt that Lin was a perfect fit for us last year... and I think he's still a great fit for us this year. As far as Center. I like Dedmon. But is there somebody that's a better fit? Cauley Stein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted June 27, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Vucevic makes no sense .... he is not the kind of center we need. Im not taking anything away from him as he is an excellent offensive player ... problem is we need a guy who defends more then we need a scorer. Vuc is strictly a scorer. Horofrd is actually a great fit here ... defender, leader, playmaker, mid range game, rebounding can be offset by Collins. He is a little old but he would also bring in that vet experience ... I don’t know if I want to give a 32 year old a big four year deal. i think we go after Dedmon but he signs elsewhere. its all moot as we only have 13 million left to spend. thus no Vuc, no Horford, no Brogdon or any any FA that will cost a lot of Money this year. I’m fine with it as we will develop our young talent and look to cash in next season when we are ready to compete. our need right now is a defensive center and maybe a backup pg (as Turner will play that role). I don’t have an issue with Lin back or Cujo if he will take a short term deal... they would fit nicely. However, I personally want us to focus that extra money on a center even if it is a stopgate center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin24Williams Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I wouldn't mind bringing back Lin. He was very effective off the bench running the PnR with Len. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Lin is likely a no due to Turner Of course I would take Horford but he needs more Dedmon if he is willing to sign a one year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 In reference to C am guessing the most likely way to get rid of Plumlee is to ride it out but am hoping maybe the trade deadline brings someone around. Don't see anyone grabbing the expiring this offseason because folks don't know their standing next season's home stretch but we can always hope. Has that fat contract and hardly ever plays...ehh.

Spud2nique Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Dedmon only for me. Once he gets you down low in the paint you’re a Ded Mon! (A dead man). -Brent Barry 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 No to Vucevic , Horford and Brogdon You sign Vucevic if your goal is to just make the playoffs. But if the goal is to ultimately compete for a championship, then we need to maintain cap flexibility until we can use it to obtain an All-NBA talent.

gurpilo Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I would only consider at C on big names Dedmon at around 8m$ 3 years or (I know you would not agree) Demarcus Cousins, I think he could be a good fit here, his behaviour concerns me though. Then if no big names I would go for a young player with upside as we did with Len last year, Woods is my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
