PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | 98-96 win

[ItsGoTime]

Two totally different examples here. 

Looney destroyed our bigs AND held up in space REALLY well. Much better than Gobert, for example. Snagging a player like him is the dream. Most of them can't maintain that level of movement very long, only a few years, but if you get one, you're in GREAT shape. 

Zubac...maybe he destroyed our bigs. Not sure I can co-sign that or not, but it's irrelevant because Dallas/Luka KILLS him while he's on the floor. 

Zubac is a specialist, like McGee. Good at some stuff, terrible at other stuff. What you want is at the 5, as I see things, is a 6'11" version of DFS with about 35 more pounds on his frame. But, the key (at least to me) is: CAN HE MOVE HIS FEET?

I don't think they are, both teams got who they want for that role and developed them and play them appropriately. Looney was not all that great in the playoffs til he got to play us and that is because other teams have the big bodies to keep him from doing what he did to us. That's what the point is, none of them are paid an amount that requires them to be on the court. When they go big, we go big. If not, we don't have to. You have to employ those guys esp for the regular season and for the most part, the first and/or second round. After that, those guys disappear.

On your side of the argument, who was/is available that is a 6'11" DFS with 35 more lbs on his frame and can move his feet? I want the name of that guy we missed on. If he wasn't there, I think McGee fits in quite nicely until that guy is identified and acquired. Bringing in more wings isn't gonna help with the bigger guys.
