Washington jumps out as pretty bad. They have a rapidly aging gortat and what else? Also nets besides Lopez is pretty brutal. We are bad up front though for sure

Yes we need to trade for Nerlens, I can't stand our soft, t-rex armed bigs any longer.  I think something like Rozier and Memphis 1st for Noel is fair.

Horford is an elite PF/C.

Crowder at PF gives us a huge offensive advantage while not really limiting our defense (he actually he helps it with his ability to switch anywhere).

Kelly is an average starter, and one of the better bigs in the league off the bench.

Amir is a serviceable starter and above average big off the bench.

Zeller is an okay big off the bench who can start if needed, but he's one of the best 3rd stringer/injury replacement in league.

Mickey is developing, and though he hasn't shown much on the court, he has shown potential, and not only as an able defender, but also as a serviceable player on the other side of the court.

Jerebko is debatable....and arguably inconsistent in terms of being a major part of our rotation....but when he's playing well, he's a huge asset in our offense, defense, and versatility.  I think with some more aggression he could probably be a strong player for us, and with some luck/confidence he could be a championship-caliber piece of the puzzle.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Take a team's best big man out of the equation and a lot of teams have very poor big men.

Warriors have a thin front court. Their over-the-top shooting is the only reason they are dominating.

Not sure if this means literally the weakest physically which we probably are.  Horford and a bunch of wimps.

Pachulia and Green are two of the toughest guys in the league.  And Durant is one of the best talentwise.

They are perimeter bigs. They get abused by legit big men. Green got exposed in the finals when Bogut went down. Zaza is as tough as a healthier and younger Amir.

as long as nerlens remains clearly available, he'll remain the guy I want us to grab.  Our defense would be next level with him.  Hopefully the price is reasonable.  I figure they will showcase him a few games first to prove he's healthy.

I like Capela for the Rockets. He'd be a great starting center next to Horford here.

I don't think so. We probably have the weakest rebounding bigs though.

No way they are trading him
