When healthy there would be very little minutes for another developmental center. I would argue a cheap vet like Powell makes more sense. Maxi is a different conversation, but I have a hard time blaming the FO for not having the depth to withstand over half the team being out.Fully agree.
Also Kleber is hard to replace. Due to his health his value was already negative so either you find an acceptable deal, what they seemingly are exploring but where you do need to give away assets or you bet that he gets back on his feet and will turn his value around. And in the meantime let someone else like OMax or even Edwards use the freed up playing time to increase their value.
So I only expect a departure of Maxi when there is a very reasonable deal...but I do not expect this scenario to happen.
