    They don’t have options. No trade assets

    He was like this last year too. Sad, but he is too old and really should be 3rd string center, not backup to capela.

    well i mean our expirings could be swapped for a longer term contract, but that would be anathema to this season's theme of shedding salary

    They can only fire that bullet once. Should they do it for a backup center?

    depends on who the backup center is of course and also if he could possibly back up tucker as well. but we already have the guard position depth now. we would have looked better at wing if house was retained, but at least beard/ego can somewhat match up with opposing 3's. so imo even with capela healthy, our bigs situation is the most glaring

    So what’s an example of a backup center we could swap expiring for? I like dedmon but apparently there’s a lot of interest in him. Are you giving up a first round pick for him? That will be the only move If you do and then you can’t do anything with knight.

    They are hamstrung. Need to get really creative
