PJ is not the only untraditional 5 in the NBA. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2020-02-08/houston-rockets-no-center-small-ball Dragan Bender with his guard skills may be the next untraditional center. And he is still available.

I don't get the Morey hate around here - Not a GM in the league who can match his accomplishments. The only thing he hasn't done is won a championship. He's rebuilt on the fly multiple times , never had a losing season in his 13 years here along with two trips to the conference finals. Has had his hands tied by two owners. Wasn't allowed to tank , cant exceed the tax .... but was the only guy to really try to beat that GSW dynasty and came within a CP3 rubberband from doing just that. Morey's one of the best in the business - Just wait until he's gone , we'll be wishing he hadn't left.
I believe a lot of organization would feel thrilled to invite him run their business, once he got fired here, say end of this season.

we can sign power forward those who are able to grab rebounds as center, if there are no good center in the buyout market.
Did not D Antoni go through this in Phoenix and was only good during the regular season beginning to sound like a broken record
we underestimating bruno at the 5. i think that why we aint biting on bender. what does he do that bruno cant do...but a better athlete
i wouldnt...i would make him earn it like mda. n rt he has too many 0's in his box score this year as a starter. that to me is unacceptable. i like pj. but i wouldnt be mad if we let him walk
Not underestimating Bruno at all, just hedging our bets. Injuries happen. Plus 5 unplayable roster spots just chaps my arse.
Yes!! Our team needs more, and better, 3-D disruptors!! Add players who actually fit our system and jettison the players who clearly do not. More energy, length, athleticism and YOUTH would be nice as well.
chandler n Isaiah aren't unplayable. the serve a purpose. they are break in case of emergency if we need a traditional big n small ball is getting killed. so u need them to be there if u have to use them. they situational. really only clemens is unplayable, those other dleague guys aren't gonna be on the playoff rosters. that's obvious
