Alex and Facci round out the December Mailbag with these 7 questions!

1). @spenlodun

does anyone else think Cam Boozer is a viable option at center if we can get a top 3 pick? i've heard no one mention this

2). @N-B-MMA

Besides another legit center what other position do you think we need the most help on?

3). @AIL_A_Guy_Needs

STP love yall. Still need to go try my bagel sandwich. My question I have for yall is if we're resigning Mathurin who is out the door? I am 100% confident herb ain't paying the tax so who's the next man out.

4). @jerronperry309

Hey guys, I feel that time is up for ljax, Nembhard and Walker to be on the block with us getting a high lottery pick, move mathurin to the 2 and keep neismith at the 3. Can we get that center via trade?

5). @jakeriley3738

Do you guys think it's time to give QJax a standard contract? and if Ethan Thompson continues to play well for us Do you also maybe consider a guy like him as well? Love the pod.

6). @N-B-MMA

What 4 guys are you nost excited to see play with tyrese next season?

7). brianroeder

Is Facci secretly rooting for the Wizards to get the 1st pick next season? It's a tight race.
