Well, we're almost a third of the way into the season, and JO has only missed a handful of games. That means he probably has like 10-15 games left in him at most for the rest of the regular season.
Seriously, though, I wouldn't be shocked if we employ more than one D-league center on a 10-day contract at various points this season. Our center depth really is quite a joke.
Eh not really.
Even after JO, we have KG, Wilcox and Stiemsma. Not too many teams have 4 guys who can give decent minutes at the 5.
I don't think JO makes a huge difference right now as far as wins and losses (but he is effective), so it's not that big of a deal. Even if he was needed for a trade, his health wouldn't matter. He would only be getting moved for his contract, not to help any other team.
