Green is going to get a portion of his minutes at C and under the Damer-owell plan, you still have Powell, Maxi and maybe McGee. So, your center could be a TP MLE guy or a trade, but it doesn't have to be a star.
IMO we can't get past this offseason without a real center to grab boards and play D. We'll fall again into the good defense but 2nd chances killing us if we stick with Green/Kleber as C.
D. Jordan
D. Powell
W. Cauley-Stein
B. Marjanovic
M. Brown
M. Chris
J. McGee
This is the list of centers Luka had since he joined the league. This list is pathetic and if we're getting a TP MLE center, he probably fits with the rest of this list (I just looked at the FA list for centers and it's very, very BAD).
PS: I consider Porzingis/Wood as PF's, since they are more effective with a big next to them (look at KP + Gafford). Kleber is barely a C, since he can't grab boards to save his life.
We absolutely have to trade for a center. Capela, Turner, Claxton, Ayton are my #1 options.
We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
