1. Who needs wings when you can roster 5 centers?

2. Yuck. He’s not good and we don’t need more centers.

3. ALL DOG LINEUP: 🐶🙀😈😈😳

   Paul Reed / Petrusev / Trez / Mo Bamba / Tucker

   Just give us the In-Season Tournament trophy already

4. I’d love to hear Daryl’s reasoning behind the Bamba signing, then.

5. He gonna play the 4?

6. Rather have DJ Steward tbh

7. Interesting. I haven’t seen much of him that I liked in the 10 quarters of summer league that I’ve watched.

8. We have guards and centers. The only real 3 we have is House. Tobias is definitely a 4, Kork is more of a 2.

   We’ve literally got like 6 guards, 5 centers, 2 PFs and one SF. Wtf is this roster construction.

9. He’s gotta be trade filler or something

10. I don’t feel too good about Filip after seeing him play in SL

    Maybe Nurse sees something we don’t and has an idea on how to best use him

11. Guys, as a Serbian here, I just wanted to say that Peteušev is a power forward and he has played the whole of last season as one. At the start of the season he played as a backup center and was terrible, but when he moved to the PF position, he became one of our best players, even the best for like a month.

    Gonna miss him at Zvezda, but hope he gets a good chance and some time to develop, cause je has a lot of talent.

    EDIT: You guys should also know that he’s a bit of a hot headed guy, which sometimes makes it look like he’s his own biggest problem. Hopefully growing up, he fixes and matures well

12. Wing depth? Where we’re going* we don’t need… wing depth 😎

    *The play-in tournament

13. Jesus christ

14. We found the one European dude who can’t shoot somehow 💀

15. Unlike a lot of people I’m not worried if we have 5 bigs, that’s been our biggest weakness in the Joel era, now we give nurse something to work with, don’t forget both mamba & trezz are on minimum deals.

    We still need a SF that can put pressure on the rim, and the only decent one available is oubre so who knows maybe we getting none
