We almost all agree that we need another big. Drummond would still be my first choice due to fit and price.
My second choice would be Robert Covington. He is similar to the player Maxi was 2 seasons ago. Probably even better defensively. He provides great defense including some rim protection. He is hitting almost 40% from 3 with the 76ers this season.
The 76ers are likely to make a trade this season with the assets they acquired in the Harden trade. Teams likely to unload their good players include the Bulls and Raptors. Covington's contract is expiring and would be likely to be included in such a deal. It would be great if we could be the 3rd team in such a deal. Maybe we trade Holmes for Covington and we include Jaden Hardy as the asset to either Toronto or Chicago?
The added benefit is that Covington contract is expiring. If he doesn't work out here, we'd presumably be able to offer the full MLE to someone in the summer of 2024.
