    Unfortunately we need another big body now.

    There are a few available.

    Darius Bazley (23)
    Tony Bradley (25)
    John Butler (21)
    DeMarcus Cousins (33)
    Dewayne Dedmon (34)
    Derrick Favors (32)
    Montrezl Harrell (29)
    Kai Jones (22)
    Christian Koloko (23)
    Meyers Leonard (31)
    Robin Lopez (35)
    Nathan Mensah (25)
    Chimezie Metu (26)
    Nerlens Noel (29)
    Dmytro Skapintsev (25)

    Not really great options at the C position rt now.

    BUT there is a 275 pound PF that can hold his own mixing it up in the paint. I'm not sure if he's healthy or in "game shape", but Kenneth Lofton Jr. Could definitely give us 10-15 high energy minutes a night. Yeah he's 6'7, but he's a load and has moves all day. Not sure why Memphis let him go but...

    I like it. The Big load got some soft hands to go with that big body, and he will be playing with Aqua man again. Make that move.

    Let's see if they finally make a move.

    They're crossed.

    Jazz moved quickly once Alp was hurt.

    Unfortunately Koloko has some sort of respiratory and blood clot issue that's preventing him from playing.
    The idea of Nerlens Noel sounds good, but you wonder why he hasn't been able to hold a roster spot in like 2 years.

    Slim pickings. Feeling like a sicko comparing Tony Bradley and Dewayne Dedmon rebounding and block numbers.

    Could see them signing a G-Leaguer to 10-day contract or two. I have no idea who Kylor Kelley is, but he's averaging 3 blocks a game.

    Yep, cause Stone sat on his hands while other teams scooped up the decent pickings.
