Drummond - looks and plays like Eddy Curry after 3 hours at Golden Corral

Nick Richards - 6’11 averaged 6 and 5 on 14 minutes per game last season with bulls. Probably our best option.

Kevin Looney - averaged 2 and 5 last season w/New Orleans. 6’9. Meh

Kevin Love

Dwight Powell

Bismarck Biyombo

Mason Plumlee

Olivier Sarr

Just not a lot of great options. One dark horse is Bol Bol but he had a partial tear of his Achilles in May and won’t be available until probably January. I would give him a 10-day contract.

Intentionally or not You and BolBol are comic relief.

I’d target a proven vet- either Looney or Richards, and then try to add a young player like Moussa Cisse. I think not grabbing a first round rookie center was the downfall. Knicks could have adding Looney or Richards and tried to bring Tarris Reed along this year. But it is what it is. Need to get creative and figure this out.

Heck, we had drafted one in the 2nd round that kinda fit the Mitch profile but we gave him to Detroit for just $
And he would have been cheaper this year than what we are gonna need to pay a vet.

Yeah but he probably wasn’t going to be on the team. He wasn’t even a starter in college. I think it unrealistic to expect a second round rookie to fit any sort of role. We got lucky with Sims and Hukporti being at least usable in a pinch, but that’s even rare. It’s unlikely a late second round pick will ever be a player.

Huff is a Pacer. It’s hard to see a rival helping us fix a major weakness

That's a good call out. Fills a need at least offensively inside the paint. Rebounding and touch around the basket.
