Why we need another big?
Cause there are exactly two centers in the whole league that have played every game: Powell and Looney. That´s a miracle in itself with Powell coming back from an Achilles at age 30. Then you got DFS, who functions as the PF in this set-up and played 78 games.
So our two starting "bigs" that have virtually no back-ups, played 158 of 160 games this year.
Maxi on the other hand has only played 50 and 59 games the last two years.
We need more at the 4/5 position. I don´t think we need a Holmes, but we need 1-2 players that we can actually rely on. There are more than enough veterans and young players out there that can provide this at the TPE, tax-payer MLE or even the minimum.
What I don´t get is the desire to add a player like Holmes on a large salary, who also has a lot of baggage.
Either you go big like Gobert/Turner...or you go for value/upside/veteran competency like I. Hartenstein, J. Smith, R. Lopez.
If we can convince either Jalen Smith or Hartenstein to join us at the tax-payer MLE that woud be a HUGE win for this franchise.
