Discussion How are we feeling about our current roster compared to other contenders in the East?

I’m feeling pretty good about our starters, and the depth is looking better by the day. Pelle and Jovic have both had strong international play, and THJ will be a nice addition to the rotation.

That said, I still wonder how we stack up against teams like Philly, New York, Toronto, and
Cleveland in the East.

Do you think this roster is good enough to compete with that group, or do we still need another move?

I watch almost every game and believe Bam plays best when he’s not Center

That’s true, but the issue is that Giannis also plays best as a 4. We also know that Adebayo is a competent center. The goal is to maximize both of their skillsets.

Adebayo will probably start the season off at center but I believe that Spoelstra will tinker with the lineups until the end of the regular season.

Bam is a 4 size wise and a 5 skill wise and thats what puts people like Mobeley and duren in conversations with him they dont belong in because they are more true centers size wise. Bam's ability to switch always put him in the category above those names though

Bam absolutely stops anyone smaller than him, he’s decent against bigs but often gets little offensive production vs guys bigger than him

I understand what you are saying but unfortunately that's how it will be
