We have an actual center. Zeller. But we aren't going to decrease the minutes of Olynyk or Sully to give him minutes. If we were to get the mythical 'real' center everyone says we need, they will also probably sit on the bench, like Joel Anthony and Faverani last season. We aren't going to waste future resources for a short-term older competent starting caliber center.
Zeller is not the answer he isn't a physical presence he fouls too much and gets bullied
"7ft PG. Rondo leaves and GUESS WHAT? We got a BIGGER point guard!"-Tommy on Olynyk

That's part of my point. People complaining about needing a Center will likely continue to complain when we acquire one who isn't good enough. I am just not a fan of the 'we need an unnamed center' posts.

I wager if you measure up NBA titles only the Jordan teams and maybe the Heat and 2-4 others did not have good centers.  Most of the ones I think of, had great centers.

Laimbeer, Cowens, Parrish,Russell, Jabbar, Ojuwalon, Mikan, Duncan, Shaq and Malone and the list goes on and on.

You might have like 10 teams that did not have a good C.  Chandler was great for Dallas when they won.
