Honestly, the more I'm thinking about it, Brook Lopez at the MLE to be the defacto starting center here makes a lot of sense.
Not only is he a proven vet, he's a good locker room guy and knows how to win. At his age, him starting and playing 20mpg is likely the best role for him. He could teach Lively a lot.
Holmes is still that PnR big that fills a need, but given Lopez's size he can easily be played with Holmes. Lively's mobility also can make it possible for a Lopez/Lively lineup against the likes of Minnesota, Boston, and NYK.
