https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10081536-guessing-every-nba-teams-top-free-agent-target-right-now BR’s guessing FA teams should target and picks Bamba for us, a player I was already watching as a backup 4/5 we should consider. From the articke:
Cleveland’s twin-tower tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen wobbled more than the team would like during its first playoff run.
On a directly related note, the Cavs might be “more open to trading Jarrett Allen than advertised,” per NBA insider Marc Stein.
That twosome shrinks Cleveland’s offensive spacing, and newcomer Damian Jones won’t change that. Mo Bamba could, though. The 7-footer has splashed better than 38 percent of his long-range looks each of the past two seasons.
If nothing else, he’d give this frontcourt a different look, as the Cavs could gain shooting without sacrificing size, like they’d have to do if they want any small-ball 5 minutes from Georges Niang.
Bamba’s skill set is limited, but he’s long, shoots threes and blocks shots. That’s an interesting combination for a 25-year-old, and one Cleveland could want a closer look at.
yeah thats a bummer. I would’ve liked Bamba for this squad
