I hope you're right about it being a bluff, but I don't think there's a role here for Dragic anymore, personally. If they get into the buyout market, I hope they look for a 5.
Even if the plan is to play small and switchable (I like that plan, if so, btw), Powell is kind of the only 5 on the roster I feel good about. Seems like they're trying to make Chriss into a full-time small ball 5, and I'm fine with that (thrilled, even) but I don't think he's ready for playoff minutes at any position yet. Kleber can play 5, and well at times, but I just don't think you're going to make it through the season and playoffs with those three being your only playable options at center.
It feels like you need a more physical option, even if it's not someone in the regular rotation. I'm fine with MBrown not being here anymore, and I suppose you could argue that Boban is that 4th center option, but I'm not thrilled about that, either. I think they need a Favors type from the buyout market, if anything.
