I guess, but I still don't get the urge to do it at all.
If we're worried about the emergency 3rd center, I'd say Powell can do just as well as Holmes in that role, and doesn't cause you to commit to money past this coming year.
If we're thinking about not playing Kleber at the 5 anymore (meaning more backup 5 minutes are needed behind Wood) then I'd suggest we stop thinking about that and start thinking about better things. I thought this was Kleber's best season, post KP trade. I think he's in the exact role he should be - first big off the bench, playing mostly center. Heck, if Wood gets anywhere near 30 minutes per game when it matters, which is possible, Kleber is probably going to play plenty of 4 this season already, whether they upgrade Powell or not.
Just seems like Holmes isn't needed here very much after this trade to me. Now they need a forward, imo. Grant, Isaac, or someone of that ilk. Tobias Harris would be fine if he didn't make so much money.
