if we can get a player like either Gasol, Cousins, Monroe, Drummond, we will contend for a championship, easily!!!!!!

We have the defense, though you could not tell from today's game.

Brooke Lopez would totally rock on this team.

Rightfully so

I think the team needs a tall 3 who can score, pass, and defend.  I'm thinking superstar Ben Simmons circa 2018.

I don't get the fixation on centers. Sure, San Antonio has Duncan, though he has always claimed he is a PF. GS, OKC, Clev -- who needs a superstar center?

Gasol, Cousins, Monroe, Drummond, Lopez -- what have they won?

C's have flexibility to make moves with picks and really go after whatever they want at the deadline imo.  I wouldn't overvalue those picks too much.  We are set to make a run and are contenders regardless though imo.  As long as we keep enough flexibility for the future too but we have too many picks as it stands.  Ainge can really dump some of them for someone he likes that can help us this year imo. That player has to be out there though.  Horford would be a decent bet or even Howard really.  Ainge can maybe do better though.

This team is close to ready where even if it's a rental i might give up a pick for someone this year then go into the draft this offseason and keep some picks to do the same thing down the road for something more longterm.

We don't want to screw up chemistry though.

A big man to contend. Plus another consistent scorer to really be Championship material.

The only thing this team needs is "To be left alone"  all you arm chair coaches and tedious tankers need to give it a break!!!

Tis true lol.  I've been saying this for years though but figured i'd try to come up with some discussion.

I'd love to have Noel on this team, I'm just not willing to pay the price for him yet

Please...no centers with major injury concerns... Lopez = LaFrentz comes to mind.

I think we could use a superstar big, CBS does not use the term center, so your on to something.

speaking of Bigs....what if we traded for Ryan Anderson? Sully/Jerebko/2nd pick for Anderson

THEN sign Larry Sanders!  8)
