If we are retaining Burks, why sign Fournier?

Great to have both Burks & Noel back, but please go find a PG upgrade or these moves are worthless.

pretty much, and it still doesn't make sense to have two Centers that can't shoot, and leave no floor spacing

Zach Collins is out there. I'd like to him a shot, cap space permitting.

There are only a few legit 3pt shooting Centers. You don't have teams that play with 5 guys who are auto floor spacers. Look to ALT or PHO, you can win with C's like that.

Fill out the injury reserve roster?

Get him up to speed and hope it pays dividends down the road. Kind of like the Knicks did with Kurt Thomas. Of course the price needs to be right.

Good for him. I'll root for him as long as he's not playing the Knicks.

What do you guys think of Justise Winslow now? Never took that step to be the next Jimmy Butler, but the kind of player that should have been playing for Thibs. Too late for him? He is 25 and had some rough injuries the past year. I’d be looking to get him on the cheap.

We need to throw this race before the numbers get out of hand.

Wouldn't mind it after the main roster gets filled out.

Perry needs to use the same bag he used with Marcus Morris and get Cam over here.
