I'm seeing:

Darrell Arthur
Jack Cooley ( that guy who kills us every year in summer league)
Omar Asik
Dakari Johnson
Amida Brimah
Marcin Gortat (BIG)
Marshall Plumlee
Quincy Acy
Thomas Robinson
Joffrey Lauvergne ( I remember him killing us in a few games...)
Alexis Ajinca
Tyler Zeller
Marreese Speights
Greg Monroe
Kendrick Perkins ( Yikes)
Cole Aldrich
Ike Anigbogu

Wow, this is a list of bad players....

This list made me sad.... :'(

Gortat maybe? I dunno. Jeesh.

I do like TRob. Bringing Zeller back would be funny.

This late in the season with limited time to integrate them? I don't know if there would be any.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

It's a sad list. Gortat would be a good irritation for Embiid.

Zeller is tall.

We might just need someone tall at some point during the playoffs... TIMELORD is tall.

Would Gortat get away with all those illegal screens if he played in green?

I still like Gortat.  He's big and mean.  We could use a little intimidation inside.

Gortat is big, but he can't shoot 3s....

He is! :)

why Brad couldn't have force fed him enough minutes so he could at least get 5-10 min a game in the playoffs.  At this point, I doubt timelord will get any minutes once the regular season is over.  I am not happy about that either.

Me either. He's like a change of pace type that can be really useful in spot minutes.

There's no time. You're better off playing the guys already on the roster - though Zeller at least knows the system.  But Zeller also gives you next to nothing. He stayed in the league with his hustle and work ethic but that goes out the window in the playoffs when no one takes the night off.

Why is Gortat even available? Is something wrong with him?

If not Gortat, I guess I go with Monroe. I know, I know, defense and all, but he did very recently play for the Celtics and I at least see him being able to hold his ground better than someone like Zeller.

But, in the end, it sounds like it will be Thomas Robinson. I don't know much about him except that he was supposed to be good and has bounced around to a few teams. Apparently the Red Claws claimed him 3 days ago.

https://celticswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/17/red-claws-officially-claim-former-fifth-overall-pick-thomas-robinson/

Personally, I liked this quote from the article - I am not sure what the author was thinking with this one:
Quote
Boston may not have much use for a big man with their frontcourt stacked with bodies but Robinson’s efforts are commendable no matter the outcome.
