I might be alone on this island but I think Richaun Holmes can be an effective starting center for us.
Yes he had a REALLY bad year last year. And I know that excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. But he went through a personal situation that would have floored most of us AND had to deal with a new system that did not utilize his strength as a PnR player.
The dude is only 29 years old and that's when centers are usually coming into their prime years.
As a side note, giving up his trade kicker was very important to us. $1.8m is a lot of money and he didn't have to do it but it shows his professionalism that he was wanting to help his new team. I hope the Mavs don't trade him - I think he will outplay his contract by a lot.
