Anderson would be really nice.
Kyle Anderson would be an exceptional pickup. But I doubt we could swing it with the trade assets we have.

What's the difference between Thybulle and Okogie?

I'm not very interested in Bol Bol. Seems like kind of a chucker, low bball IQ player who doesn't fit into a scheme or system.
You hate fun.
And probably selfish too. Am I right, FF? :P Okogie is a better offensive player than Thybulle. (Don't go pulling out stats. Just going from the eyeball test. Better driver and better shooter.).

I don't think watching Bol Bol is very much fun if he's playing for a team that I want to win. For every one highlight clip he'll do five dumb things that hurt his team.

You might need to get your eyes checked, Thybulle is a better defender than Okogie. Edit: You said offensive player. I need to check my eyes, I guess.

Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension as I was talking about offense. :P And I don't know that Thybulle is better than Okogie defensively. Both are very good.

Bol Bol should be a garbage time big you're trying to develop. His upside is obviously higher than a guy like Ish. Neither if the deserve more than a minimum deal though.

Get Bol Bol in the weight room on a high protein, high calorie diet.

Some flyer names...

Neemias Queta (though I think Sac put him on contract)
Mfiondu Kabengele
Kavion Pippen
Oliver Starr (though I think Oklahoma has him on contract)
Jordy Tshimanga

Scrapping the barrel for one more big...I kind of liked Queta, but think he's off the market.

I'm half-convinced Vlad just typed random letters on his keyboard for some of those names. :P

Nah, Jer, those are real...I have to add...watched Bol's minutes vs. Denver after the trade and it is hard to think he shouldn't be given a look...take a look what he did vs. Joker...

The last 5 minutes or so digs into the Suns strategy during this FA season.

Ah yes, the tortured Boston Celtics who've won the most NBA titles have to play by a different set of rules. :roll:

Maybe Brad Stevens is a bit out of his depth in the front office?

Dunno if it's been said already (I'm way behind on lurking), but I'm happy for Cam Johnson for the deal he got. More $ than Kuzma, more than Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura put together. I'm rooting for him to stay healthy and earn that check.

No. They still held his rights as a free agent.

Still a fan of Olivier Sarr. I would love to have him as a third center.

Right now, he isn't better than Kuzma or Reaves.
