You mean Krummy Brown, a headcase who can't shoot, rebound, block shots or make free throws? Surely there's better in draft or FA if Daly is gone.
Well, we won't know about Dalembert until after the draft, but looking at the free agency list, it's not pretty. Our best and most realistic option for the starter beside Cousins really probably would be Jason Thompson, and we'd have to hope that Whiteside could give us something.
Nene might opt out, and he would be a good guy to grab if he does. Beyond that, it gets really iffy. Tyson Chandler will stay in Dallas. Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan are RFAs who are probably too important to their teams to not have an offer sheet matched. Greg Oden (RFA) would be a huge risk, and likely expensive. I don't think David West (option) is the kind of interior player we're looking for.
Then I start to look towards guys like Josh McRoberts, Kris Humphries, Aaron Gray, Jason Smith, Nazr Mohammed, Kyrylo Fesenko, Jeff Foster. And I don't really love what I see. I think it would be crucial to bring back Darnell Jackson under those circumstances, but I don't really want him as my #3 big guy behind Thompson at #2. That's not going to get it done. Dally is really important this offseason.
