Cos Poeltl just signed for 4 years and $104m and do we really wanna pay that (or much more) for Kessler when we’re not ready to contend?

1) we have to pay someone 2) Do you not want a good player that can hopefully grow with the team as the improvement comes ? Would you rather the defence be even worse than the stinking pile of festering turds it has been the last few years ??
Yeah but Kessler is far from perfect. He cant shoot.
If you look at the NBA Finals this year both Chet and Turner can shoot 3 lights out.
You’re handicapping yourself if you have a guy on the floor who cant shoot.
Chet was abysmal from 3 in the playoffs.

both of them sucked shooting 3s in the finals man So your theory is to only retain perfect players ?

We are 3 years removed from an era where we had elite floor spacing with a big man who couldn't shoot.

it's almost as if a lob threat who can put heavy pressure on the rim bends a defense and creates space as much as an elite outside shooter ....

They should put that in a plague somewhere in the facility.

It's good to be a lob threat. Not so good if you're ONLY a lob threat.
The problem with Kessler is that his defender can camp in the paint. Walker absolutely will not shoot the basketball and everyone knows it. That makes it harder for everyone else.
Wide open 3s off screens for days.
