But if you are drafting a center and trading for one, we have too many centers on the roster. At that point it might make sense to send Maxi out, or maybe it makes sense to send Bullock and Chriss (which would address the roster count issue).
Ideal for me would be a big falls into our draft range that could give us 10-15 minutes a game. I don't agree with drafting based on need, but I'm hoping the stars align. Trading Maxi for another big might upgrade the minutes you could get for them in the case of Holmes, but you still be as paper thin at the position. We are also running out of room for roster spots but I'm sure we could figure a way to get off of Brown, Bruke and Chriss.
I still like the idea of looking for a veteran on a 1 year deal. McGee would check those boxes, though he's getting up there in age. He's at 72 games this year and is getting 15 MPG.
