Millsap is a mismatch for a lot of teams though, he’s strong tweener who can defend both forward spots. Once we put Collins on him, he started to falter.

IIRC, we won that series? Didn't we guard him with a 6'6 guy the last few games and he did pretty much nothing?

yes, Collins made it difficult for Millsap with his length. That's why I said I was worried about what happens if Collins or Whiteside get hurt and the Blazers have nobody else (other than Skal) who is over 6'8

they still have a roster slot open so I hope they address it
 
What big center is left? If you add a big now he sits on the bench. Down the line if Whiteside gets hurt then you pick up someone just as good as who is left now.
It sure feels like they expect Nurk back by xmas.

If you add someone to sit, grab a PG.

So then we sign a minimum salary player, not a big deal.

I don't get the concern over having a 4th string center on July 2nd.... We will be fine people.

Trent or maybe someone who likes Layman for a s&t?

So you're basically looking for a big man making less than $2 million that would be worth giving up a 1st for?

The only person I can think of that fits that is Mitchell Robinson.

The 76ers desperately need shooters. I would absolutely love a Trent for Jonah Bolden trade. That would solidify our front line.

Just keep the pick.

If we are trading a future first round pick it needs to be a long term starter coming in.

Mitchell Robinson or Bolden would be great additions.

With the young guys we have, our need for the pick isn’t that big, especially while we are in win now mode.

Shit, I think if we have a pick still by the next draft and use it, the pick would probably be a Euro stash.

I think we need to keep the pick to unload for a star at the deadline if one becomes available.
 
I feel like he’ll have the same effect as Juwan Howard did when he played here. Solid vet that can knock down shots and won’t make many mistakes.

Mitchell Robinson is a building block in NY. He's probably the best player they have from last season. They won't trade him.

I realize that. I was just listing a big that would be worth trading a 1st for and only made enough salary to work for Gary Trent.

Edit: If he was such a building block why did they sign Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, and Julius Randle?

Because they are the Knicks. They prefered to pay all those guys more than they worth instead of being like Atlanta and take assets for bad contracts.
