Will get blasted, but I agree with Minnesota here.


I really don't get the obsession by some with throwing money at Pekovic either. Davis is the center of the future so why would you pay a lot of money for what would essentially be the 3rd big? I could maybe see an argument for Al Jefferson as an expensive 3rd big, but that's only because he can create his own offense.

Davis is the center of the future, but we need someone to be the center of right now. Pek for four years gives AD time to grow, by that time he will be 24 yrs old. Pek leaves and AD steps in.

Regardless of if LA signs J.Smith, I still think they will amnesty Gasol triggering the Gasol to Minny, Pek to Nola move. IMO

I think you have to assume Davis is a 4 for it to be worthwhile. The jury is still out on that, in my opinion.

I don't see Davis ever playing center, at least not in the near future. And those 3 guys are only "bigs" based on their height. They are soft and all finesse.

Pekovic is a large, physical guy who plays with an edge. We have nothing even remotely close to him. And his offense is underrated. He scored 30 the other night if Im not mistaken.

He may not be the answer, but we would benefit extremely from a guy like him.
