  • Maybe we don't need a 4/to resign Biyombo: No Seriously Hear Me Out Edition

    I have been known to float the occasional idea for shits and giggles...BUT

    Listen okay...

    Here it goes.

    Seriously....don't hit me

    At the beginning of next season we start Bruno at the 4, and Nogeuria at the BACKUP 5

    Both will have had another off-season of work put in and being in year 3 of a 4 year rookie deal, we need to see if they can handle it

    And as the offensive load switches on to JV a little bit more, and Patterson plays starter minutes anyway, all we are talking about is Bruno playing 16 - 18 minutes and Lucas playing 12 - 15.

    I understand most of you are going to furl your brow, but both can shoot the 3, Bebe was defensive player of the year in the ACB and can really pass the ball. It opens up a lot of options should they embrace the role

      i was wondering before if the team wasn't trying to get bebe to be the 4, because of the passing and with him always trying to take the 3.

        Bebe needs to figuratively go back in the oven for a bit. He not done yet.

            Wasn't there a guy named Roberts on 905 who was tearing it up until he got injured? Invite him to camp and sign him for a mil if he can play.

              I have no issue with playing Bebe more minutes at the 5. Bruno at the 4 doesn't make sense to me. He does not have the strength or lateral quicks yet to play bigger 4s or smaller 4s.

                He played well in summer league but with Bennett, Scola PP,JJ and even DC labeled at time with the four just not enough roster room

                  Watching him in the Heat series the kid looked completely lost out there on the defensive side.

                    True ... but you have to give him a slight benefit of the doubt cuz he hasnt played too too much this season and was thrown into the Heat of it all like that. Definitely deserves the chance to prove himself.

                      Well Bennet and Scola are gone. JJ too? The Brazilians need another year, so definitely a possibility this year.

                        Ya I'm not saying trade him, but I don't know how ready he is to be the first big off the bench.

                          See, this is pretty much the "we didn't manage to anything we wanted to do" backup plan. If Biyombo gets like a 20M deal somewhere and we can't keep him, and we can't find a taker in a trade of Ross for a PF. I still think we end up with a PF from the draft who is more likely to get minutes right away than Bruno, though either way I think we start Patterson.

                            And it's a big gamble to roll the dice on that. I'd much rather see a scenario where they have a better option and then Bebe's play forces Casey to give him minutes, sending the other guy to the bench. That's how Powell got minutes. He took them.

                            I also wouldn't put it past Ujiri & Casey to find another diamond in the rough this summer.
