Can’t copy over all the graphics and tables, but the TLDR ranking is:
25. Taj
24. Daniel Theis
23. Cody Zeller
22. Biyombo
21. Tristan Thompson
20. Capela
19. Larry Nance
18. Brook Lopez
17. Robert Williams III
16. Draymond Green
15. WCJ
14. Duop Reath
13. Dwight Powell
12. Dario Saric
11. **Precious Achiuwa**
10. Nick Richards
9. Xavier Tillman
8. Mo Wagner (redacted now that he re-sighed in Orlando)
7. Kevon Looney
6. Jock Landale
5. Charles Bassey
4. Jarrett Allen
3. Walker Kessler
2. Day’Ron Sharpe
1. Goga Bitadze
This is presumably factoring in hypothetical trade packages it would take (e.g. Draymond is obviously better than Charles Bassey, but trading Randle makes it worse than trading like Kevin McCullar) – including for Goga (who already resigned, but might be on the market by trade deadline)
HairyHouse3
How does Goga make any sense, nobody trades a player like that. Dumb article.

Man a 1/3 of these guys are now signed
cesarjulius
i have so much confidence that the entire core front office is exploring every one of these options and way more. it feels great to be in competent hands.

Thomas Bryant opted out, is UFA

when in doubt, experiment with Center randle 2nd unit line ups with hart and play jericho in spot minutes.

Funny enough I was just thinking maybe they will try to add day’ron sharpe in part of the mikal trade somehow/
Mongshiki
We have randle and hart both can do 5
KerryKl01
The answer is Precious and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
Emiya_Sengo
Just stick with Precious for now but make sure to experiment with lineups and keep an open eye on the trade market

I know we’re not allowed to say this on this sub but I’d be shopping Randle for Mobley or Sengun to see if we get a bite.

Precious should come back, but Nick Richard’s could be a good shout in a Nerlens Noel style role. Doesn’t have to be that good just grab some boards and block some shots
SittingJackFlash
Love Precious but Jarrett Allen is my #1 choice
TomGNYC
Bassey seems interesting. 3rd stringer. Should be available.

Precious is this years ihart

Great write up!

Centers are world class Garbage men in Thibs’ system. Knicks are smart to wait the market out and then swoop in on a guy at their intended value. Mitch is a DPOY caliber dude so not a slouch
viking_machina
Could get Udoka Azubuike for the min. He was solid at Kansas. He was picked by Utah with the clippers pick from the Marcus morris trade

Saric is pretty solid if he is to be had for something very cheap. He can shoot and pass
