It also isn't very realistic to have 3 guys who are good enough to play 20-30 mpg, all splitting the minutes at one position. That's not how the league works (it's very player-driven). Not how the money fits into practical cap management, either.
Right now we only have 2 bigs (4/5) that significantly contribute, and both are probably most effective coming off the bench. Boban is a cheerleader and Chriss is a recent 2-way who is not playing well enough right now to even be worth the min.
I would argue we could easily add a starting center to this group. Powell would be the backup 5 and Maxi the backup 4 (and also third center). Those two play really well together. DFS would likely be your starting (and closing) 4, but he can also play the 3 to accommodate more minutes for Maxi or Bertans.
We could also trade one of Maxi/Powell for a true starter at the 5 and be better off as well, but I don't think its necessary. I am certainly not looking at Boban or Chriss at all when making roster decisions regarding my top 8-10 guys who actually play.
