Man, someone get these onions outta here
Okay, okay, okay...enough with my sad sack bullshyt. Let's talk actual stuff.
I'd really like for us to take a chance on Christian Wood. He's a bit of knucklehead like Whiteside but he's also VERY talented. Dude has insane wing span and potential. SOMETHING like a 9-4 standing reach.
And The 76ers have a logjam in their bigs already so they might not even pay him any mind. Dude has been BEASTING in the SL and has shown the ability to hit 3s, poster dudes, block shots, etc.
He looking like the homeless man's version of a homeless man's Anthony Davis and this is the season where risky guys with a high upside are perfect fits.
I also wouldn't mind Javale McGee and Willie Reed on cheap contracts. Javale might not be such a chore if he's on the floor with Richsrdson and Winslow plus he can block shots. His defensive stupidity might not be TOO bad and our defensive scheme wouldn't have to change much to accommodate him when Whiteside sits.
