When i think about adding a Center, i think about no more Powell. That is a positive within itself.

So while Vuc may not fit the age or defensive profile we want. He's better than Dwight Powell. Lively may start all season, but he will not stay on the court long. Especially come playoff time. He has issues with fouling, even in college. The refs seem to hate this guy.  We're going to need someone productive for those non-Lively minutes.

Not all that excited about replacing our 4 million backup center with a 20 million backup center who if anything is a downgrade defensively, and potentially paying an asset to do it.  Seems like it would make more sense to go after a defensive option.
