We have three centers. Why would we target a fourth?
Al is old & not a true center, TimeLord can’t stay healthy & overrated, Bruno is a D-leaguer

Al is old, but is absolutely a center.

And Time Lord underrated not overrated.

We should have taken Plumlee into our TPE (and gotten a future first), and then resigned Fournier.

I'd be into the idea of taking a flyer on Gorgui Dieng or Harry Giles on as little money as possible if there are no other moves made.

With Timelord and Horford, we're talking about a third center but with their respective injury history and age, that third big might be important.

I also think Kornet can improve and fill and important role as a huge body who can actually do some stuff.

Gorgui Dieng is actually a good player. Perhaps flying under the radar. If we could sign him to the minimum then that would be great. He can legitimately stretch the floor.

Grant does well enough against faster 5’s like Bam. Obviously there’s a massive gap between them but Grant does a pretty decent job for someone who doesn’t have starter talent.

Horrible, any way you twist it.  Are you related to him?   JK  He is really situational, can rebound or rim protect either.  Offensively, he can shoot the three and pass some, but his post offense is a block waiting to happen.

You’d rather have Noel than Rob Williams as our center?

I would not but Nerlens is cheap

I would love to get Boucher!

Yeah, I like Dieng. I have no idea what his market is but I've heard that there are a bunch of teams trying to offload centers they overpaid last summer so maybe the general feeling is against paying bigs right now and he could be had for cheap.
