Still got a spot to add on another player that gets cut at the TDL or end of training camp if it looks like a solid move.
Can always S/W Powell when you have 3 decent centers in Capella, Holmes, and Lively and how much would that save us in tax?
Vando would be beyond my expectations, I cannot see LA being so generous to a team that would be a potential contender that they might match up with in the PO's. They can just sign Wood outright why S&T for him.
Capella is a luxury as well. The bottom line is we could make adjustments to cover SF with GWill and still have Kleber and OMax to cover PF and we also have Holmes and Lively and if needed.
Kleber can pitch in some at the 5. If somehow we end up being stuck with THJ and McGee that extra offense from THJ is usable and McGee to me is a better option than using Powell. I think we could make use of McGee in certain matchups that might be much more problematic with undersized guys in there.
Lively is our only real center and so I would not want to go into the season without another big body to play against certain teams who have major talent at the 5 to throw at us. DEN, UTA, MINN, NOP, LA, LAC, SAC, OKC, SAN, PHO are better more prepared to dominate us inside and that is just in our conference.
Jokic/Huff, Kessler/OLynyk/Markkanen/Collins, KAT/Gobert/NAZ, Valanciunas, Davis/Hayes/Bron, Zubica/Plumlee, Sabonis/Len/Queta, Holmgren/Poku/Sarr, Wemby/Collins, Ayton/Durant
With Kleber next to Lively we are somewhat strong enough to play against these fronts but having another 7 big that can absorb some contact so we keep our smaller 5's from getting killed is a smart move IMHO.
Azabuike may be off the map since he is on Boston's SL team. Yurtseven is a young big that produced for Miami in some limited runs not seeing him getting picked up yet. Even Boban is a FA. Having McGee is a nice backstop now but if we add Capella and SW or trade him then a lack of size is a potential problem when Lively gets into foul trouble or injured for a long stretch. Powell Holmes and Capella are all undersized 5's.
I would love to take away that hole on defense by making a final move to add a big that has bulk and real center size just for purposes of making teams respect our interior defense more and to give us some fouls to use when a guy is not a good FT shooter.
