With the coaching we're seeing with Kidd, I think an upgrade of Bullock and Powell puts us in that conversation (IF DFS recent offensive stretch is here to stay for a few years).
You mention JJJ as a "change of pace" center, for example, but in many circles he's starting to be talked about as a possible defensive player of the year. He's absolutely, 100% viewed as the main defensive 5 on that team, regardless of how they start games during the regular season.
We could get mired down in all of that, but I think I'm right and so do you, so it's probably best not to interact with each other any more on this subject and just leave it at "I have a much higher opinion of Powell and Kleber than you do."
The discussion we were having was about Powell getting pushed around and you named a couple names and said it wasn't that big a deal. I showed you the players that teams are putting out there to start, do you disagree that most of those names do mostly what they want with Powell?
