We need a backup Center

[NAOS]

If we wanted Vonleh we could have him straight up for Mudiay I think.

He might be helpful as a backup 5 against the clips against Montrez and switching out on Lou... Lakers he might be able to help with AD (no one can help all that much). He might be a better fit with Niang in the second unit... I just think we need one more defensive minded big wing... would be ideal if they could shoot, but that is like the hardest thing to find in the NBA.

I think in the playoffs one or both of Niang Bradley may need to be switched out of the rotation... we have Royce and Ingles to help with wing defense, but it'd be great to have one more wing defender.

He’s short, but this is why I was making noise about Kris Dunn. For all the defense we play, we don’t have anyone who is elite at ball denial. I think Kris would help a lot; switchable 1-3.

I don't think he's on the table... I think they realized how disruptive he is... will be a FA this summer though.

Faried. Noah. These guys are available.

I think Tony Bradley might be okay as a backup center, if he doesn't have Georges Niang playing next to him. Bradley's main responsibility is to rebound and roll to the rim on offense, and he does those things pretty well. The issue I have is that Niang is soft defensively and is a mediocre rebounder. If we had a beast at the 4 playing defense and rebounding, I don't think people would have a problem with Bradley so much.

Obviously, Bradley isn't the rim protector that Gobert is. Nobody is. It's going to be difficult to upgrade the backup 5 spot, however. We're on a tight budget, and other than, say, Jakob Poeltl, I'm not sure who really does it for us.

I'm down for a short term upgrade to push for this championship. But I'd rather not give Bradley up to make it happen. He's shown a great deal of potential.

I’m putting my money on Bogut

With the way the Jazz are dealing with Ed ... it’s like they are keeping him for insurance till something gets done

He comes in mid to late Feb , after allstar break

 

[JazzForLifee]

Faried. He can also play 4.

Of course. We’re not talking about finding a starter. We’re talking about upgrading the status quo. And even if “OMG [stats],” it’s also about what we need out of that spot and how to prioritize that.

They probably worse than Bradley though.

They probably worse than Bradley though.

if we are to get a "back up center". it's probably gonna be more of us getting a Ed Davis replacement at min once we get rid of his contract, than an "upgrade" over TB. in all likelihood, TB's gonna be our primary backup going forward

How about Isaac Haas 7'2"290 playing for the Stars?

Yeah ive been wondering about Haas.
Not sure he has the quickness in todays league to guard anyone. 20 years ago he would have been a first round pick, now big tall slow guys are playing over seas cuz theres no place for them in small ball nba
