    I bet you if Chicago goes full rebuild now they would think about moving Jimmy Butler for that #2 pick. Maybe he goes to the Celtics since they have more to offer though. I just was thinking about how that team really isn't good. They may as well blow it up now. Noah and Gasol will walk. Rose is gone. It's just Butler and a few nice young players.

    Who should be there for the 32nd pick? Any Center or PF who can atleast contribute?
    Are these guys available?
    1. Tarczewski, Kaleb, Arizona.
    2. Przemek Karnowski, Gonzaga?
    3. Nikola Jovanovic of USC?

    Lakers have two solid PF's. I don't see any need for that position. C they need for sure though. Probably a guy to take Sacre's spot.

    I only mentioned one PF who is 6-11 and have played spot minutes at center in Jovanovic. You are right, They really need a center esp Im so done with Sacre who can't even do a simple legal pick.
    Tarczewsky signed non guaranteed to play the SPL with Washington.
    Karnowski is actually a huge 7-2 behemoth from Gonzaga who destroyed UCLA 2 NCAA tournaments ago, he's got skills but might be too slow to cover and switch for PnR situations.
    Mitch doesn't get enough credit finding guys like Clarkson but I can't remember him finding good serviceable big guys like Miami.

    I also like Josh Scott of Colorado, he was named PaC 12 both first team and first defensive team, he is 6-10 and 245 lbs but he also signed with Denver.
    Lakers badly need a center both as a starter and a backup and the one they just drafted is very raw. I'm not sure why they are not very active in signing atleast 4 centers with non guaranteed contracts and go from there.

    It has been in the rumors lately that they are going to go after Whiteside as their top target in free agency this week too.

    I heard that too but there were also like 4 teams ready to offer the max with this guy who had concerns about his attitude.
    My question is, what is the downside of signing the 3 best available centers to play in the SPL and found out atleast if 1 or 2 are good enough to play for you. By doing nothing, you get ZERO chance of knowing.
