I think it's far more imperative that they add ANOTHER guy who can play some combo of 1-4.
It's not that I necessarily LIKE the big situation, but Powell/Kleber/Wood with McGee for emergencies is certainly ENOUGH bigs, and they're at least the right type, imho.
I do not like this team's chances in the playoffs if they feel like they have no choice but to play one of Pinson, Hardy, Wright or Ntilikina in most games.
But, then again, it's possible that 9th man (in this case, literally a 9th man) can be addressed via the buyout market.
I think you and I both don't like the Powell/Wood combo, so my question is, who is our PF when Maxi is not on the court?
We basically played a 6 man (7 if you count Powell) rotation and got to the western conference finals last year. I would like to have a 9th for injury insurance, but playoff rotations generally don't go past 8.
What reasonable trade do you see where we add a 9th rotational piece without sending 27 or Hardy?
EDIT: I missed your buyout suggestion.
