Center Options?

Collins is the guy I’m hoping the Jazz somehow manage to come up with - just want to see them do it without sacrificing any valuable picks if they can help it.

Don’t think he’s a 5, but I could see him getting some time there in smaller lineups.
 
Really need to pick a direction first. If we do the tank and blow it up we will find another center on accident in a trade. If we are trying to be competitive you may have to give up a draft asset to get Poeltl. He will cost more than a TPE... likely a first. You could probably dump Rudy Gay if you also gave up a first in the deal.
 
We have 2 1st round picks at center + Vanderbilt who played center'ish role in Minny. I know people want to get someone like Ayton... and if he comes cheap.... OK lets do it. But do we really want to give up picks for players like... Poeltl? To me this is a waste.
I agree 100%. Poeltl, Kessler, Vanderbilt and Dok are all non-shooting big men.

Why would we do that? I would rather trade for Daniel Theis and probably get an asset from Boston for doing it.

If they really thought they could compete and keep Don happy I think Poeltl is a great pickup. I think they see it like most of us and will likely prefer to duct tape the position together.
 
Do center by committee
Jazz have Udoka, Cockburn, Kessler, Tacko, etc
Whoever plays best starts and gets most minutes
Whoever is next best plays first backup etc
Don't spend all their money for a questionable starter
 
I personally don’t want to trade away any of the picks that the Jazz have in order to get a center. Some team will be looking to move a guy. Wait and capitalize on that. Get a pick back if you can. Conley or Beverley should be able to fetch a decent player in return.

Jazz should be able to get a veteran guy into TC on a minimum contract with the number of them still available in free agency.
