John Henson - With Monroe on the team now , looks like he and Giannis will play the majority of the mins in the front court. They have ZAZA to backup Monroe . Henson averaged 2 blks in only 18mpg last year

Package = AB and Hunter . Mil could use some help off their bench , AB would provide this.

Giourgi Dieng - Minny just drafted their starting center in Towns, they also have Pekovic who will likely be difficult to move because of his big contract . Dieng put up some very nice numbers last year avg 9/8/ 2 bpg  as a 2nd year player

Package = Sully and a pick . Minny gets gritty player to put next to towns, also can stretch the floor a bit from time to time

Larry Sanders - I know it's a long shot , but the kid has talent if he ever wants to come back

Enes Kanter - If Danny wants a big center that can score and rebound , he would be the man.  Would have to be in a s+t or a trade at the deadline .
 package = AB and Sully

Have any interest in any of these guys? After looking at the list of centers these look like the Centers who will be most available for a reasonable price


I would go with Dieng (since Sanders isn't likely to come back anytime soon ), then Kanter

Henson and Dieng work for me. They both make sense as those teams have surpluses in the frontcourt.

Teams tend to like surpluses of talent and are reluctant to part with them unless they have a pressing need they want to address or salary cap concerns.

If the Bucks are playoff bound, they probably prefer to keep Henson unless they get an offer that they think improves their chances of going deep in the playoffs.

With Henson, there may be a concern that he gets a huge contract in restricted free agency, so the Bucks may be tempted to move him closer to the trade deadline.  Dieng still has a couple of seasons before he gets there, so they should be in no rush to move him.

I'd be fine with Zaza Pachulia.

Has size, tough, solid all around. With Monroe maxing out, he could be attainable for a decent price. Also, instead of Kanter, I'd go for Steven Adams. We got the inside scoring and rebounding taken care of with Lee, we need a dude who is big, will play big and can protect the rim, enter the Kiwi.

Pachulia/Adams - Lee - Amir. That's not a bad three man rotation for the bigs.

I'd also go after Dieng since he is behind Towns and Pek. Would basically be like we drafted WCS.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I am happy enough with Amir and Ty Zeller.

I would only bring in another center if he was - or could become - a top 20 center in the league.

Guys Dieng is there to stay. Pek is going to move, KAT looked best with WCS so putting him at the 4 with Dieng at the 5 allows for some serious rim protection. Minny is going young.
