Dwight's defense, rebounding, and paint presennce would be very useful in a potential playoff series versus Jokic, Embiid, etc....Morris, Harrell nor Kuz can replicate what Dwight does. Then on top of it, you have Gasol playing like trash. Those 1-2 assist Mark gets every game doesn't mean shyt if he can't defend and control the boards. Did we really need more forwards when we already had a log jam at that position?....... I believe even without AD LA would still have a legit shot at winning the championship as long as we had someone like Dwight protecting the basket.

People keep saying our defense is just as good without Dwight, but they're not factoring in the soft early-season schedule.

These are also good points. An argument could be made we should’ve used Wes contract to keep Dwight since we hardly play him and he don’t give us much. But we had to replace dg so I understand that move.

At the end of the day it ain’t happen. Can’t keep lamenting over this shyt.

Oladipo doesn't have the same explosiveness anymore but he certainly would be a upgrade

He's really the only realistic big name you can get, gotta give up THT and salary filler like Schroder or KCP. Not sure if worth it

He was a monster on the offensive boards to and helped jump start a lot of runs with his play on the boards. Trez can replicate some of that though, just thinking the combo of the two together could've been vicious and gave the second unit an identity.
