As per Kiid, I see no urgency to target a #15 player.
We have minutes to find for Toppin and Reddish. That's more of a priority to me.
The big wing I was interested in taking a flyer on was TJ Warren. Nets just signed him to a one year deal, coming off of crushing Mychal Thompson-Victor Oladipo level injuries. If Cam Reddish, also a big 6'8" wing, can rise to that level of offensive firepower and efficiency, we will be sitting in tall cotton. In 2018-19, and 2019-20, before he went down, I remember Warren lighting us up a couple of times, and was draining 3-pointers at a .428 & .403 clip.
Marquese Chriss? Meh. We have Randle, Toppin and Gibson. WHAT FOR?
Now, on the other hand, Richaun Holmes? Like him a lot, and was phantisizing about him in some sort of Facil-Styled Trade Package where we sent Randle to the Kings. Big, bruising 6'10", efficient around the hoop.
If we hadn't gone all in by commiting to Mitchell, Isaiah and Jericho [let alone Taj, let alone Julius and Obi, let alone Cam], Holmes would be a viable target at the 4 & 5. Not unlike the Lakers taking a second shot at Thomas Bryant, another beefy 6'10" worker bee.
We have ample depth at the 4 & 5. It remains to be seen how things shake out at the 2 & 3, but with Fournier and Grimes, Barrett and Reddish [let alone IQ toggling between playing on the ball and off the ball]...we need to develop what we have, and taken another long look in the summer of 2023, when a new group of Free Agents comes on the market, and we have a minimum of two #1 picks, and possibly four to cast about for trade partners. I don't see much shaking free in the way of free agents. The biggies have already been locked up. Zion. Nikola. Beal. LeBron might be on the open market, and he's only 38. Kyrie? FUCK KYRIE.
