With Jeramine and Wilcox both having big question marks Danny's hand may be forced. Does he make a big move or bring someone up from the D league as has been suggested. Given the trouble Wilcox and JjJ have had picking things up will be a tough transition regardless.

I don't see a big in the D-League that can effectively help this season. I like Malcolm Thomas as a prospect.

Fesenko is the best option amongst free-agents.

I don't know, this really depends on what Ainge wants to do with regards to competing this season vs accumulating assets to ease the rebuilding.

Williams is under contract with Dallas. The other two aren't NBA players (and neither is Williams at this point). There are better D-Leaguers than them.

I think the best D-League centers, now that Greg Smith and Jeff Foote are off the market, are veterans Dan Gadzuric (a recent addition to the D-League) and Mikki Moore and former Atlanta second-round pick Keith Benson.  Dan "the anti-Krstic" Gaduric, who is good at what Krstic was bad at, may have some sort of arrangement with the Mavericks where they sign him after he proves to have recovered from his toe injury, since there was maneuvering going on to add him to the Dallas D-League affiliate.  We know Moore and Benson seems to be regarded as a guy who needs more time down there.
