Yeah this is the most logical plan

I forgot about Jaxson Hayes too. Perfectly reasonable backup option.

He gone

Jaxson Hayes signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Jazz, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon

Any Euros in our pipeline?

Yup the market for lower end backup centers is taxpayer MLE. Unreal.

Go get Luka
TheGame @ 7/1/2026 4:34 PM
Bring back Herb Williams and Kurt Thomas and let’s roll!!

Seriously though, we are in a tough spot but I am sure Leon has a plan.

Luca Vildoza?

Hayes was just picked up by the Jazz.

Funny how the centers are being picked up like it’s the end of the world.

Knicksfan @ 7/1/2026 5:01 PM
Didn’t we have a draft pick center overseas that joined a school in the US? Do we still have his rights or going to school negated that?

I mean, we are kinda in a desperate spot.

I hope the FO was expecting all this and have a plan in place.

Anyone know what this means? I have no idea.

The original tweet, I mean.

I would expect 1 of the bigs to be plumlee or biyombo at this point.
TheGame @ 7/1/2026 5:12 PM
We will probably sign someone like Drummond on a vet minimum, find some 2-3 year player from the G league and then trade for a center if needed at the deadline once a few teams are looking to move players. We will not be as strong as last year but we will get by. I trust Leon had a contingency plan.

Looks like James Nnaji is only avging 8 mins per game at Baylor. Not impressing me.

James Nnaji, at Baylor. Meh.
Also have rights to Louis Labeyrie. Not sure his deal but he's 34 yo.
