If Nico can find a way to make Gafford happy being a 12 min backup and convince him to sign at a discount when Gaff is at his prime age of 28, I will be all in and will worship Nico for the rest of my life.

Yeah, I don't think that will have to even be a discussion, because I think those limits are a fantasy. There will be 2 spots that are closer to 1a and 1b, rather than only space for one center plus a few leftover scraps. That's how it works in today's NBA.

There are about 4000 minutes for center in an NBA season, and I think DL is probably a 2000/yr guy or so, like Tyson Chandler was. That leaves a significant chunk for another center. For reference, last season (most of which DL was the ONLY center), he played less than 1300, and only Doncic (2624) played more than the 2000 area.
