I am listening to the Zach Lowe Post draft podcast with Bobby Marks. They just discussed how teams who signed centers for 10 millionish last year (MLE range) are all trying to dump these centers. Plumlee, Favors, Thompson, Harrell, etc. The thinking is paying that much money for guys who play around 20 minutes a night really hurts your roster building. They talked about Plumlee and Marks likes the move for Charlotte. Thinks if they would have gone with Noel it would take 3 for 24ish. Plumlee is 2 for 16 and only 4 million guaranteed the last year. Marks was interesting if this is going to be lesson learned about paying 10 plus million to not elite centers. Interesting conversation.
Ok, weird one. It appears Kevin Love will be bought out eventually. Clev hoped to trade him but with the recent events, I don't believe they will find a suitor. I know he was awful for the Olympic team and can't stay on the floor. But if he was released, could he be our Blake Griffin experiment for the BAE? Nico says he wants rebounding and shooting. Would Love pair ok with Maxi (if kept) and DFS as PF options?
