I feel like Montrezl is a better player than Henson....and still on a rookie contract.


fking 2nd year Richaun Holmes who can't get off the bench is better than Henson

Perhaps you should consider Omer Asik. He got DNP - coach decision last night. He should be pretty cheap if not free. He sucks lately because of injury and coaching problems but once he finds his form back, he is a top defensive center in the league.

We did it baby! Day 99 and we did it!

I mean we took on two more bigs for one, and Hammond still doesn't get RFA, but we did it!

I wonder if Charlotte would be interested in moving Hibbert. His game last night really showed there is a place for a big traditional centre in the modern NBA. Imagine how much he and Monroe will teach Plumlee and Henson!


Wow. I'm pretty smart.

But yeah, we have 5 C's now.

We don't have 5 Centers... We have 2... Monroe and Hibbert... Hawes/Maker are stretch 4's and Henson is a PF with the skill set of a center

Maker you want close to the basket so he's a 5 and Hawes can barely move so he's a 5 as well.

Cool man. I mean they're all guys listed as C's.

Do you want them in front of Giannis on this roster? Nope? They're C's.

If the saying is true, "you are what you can guard" Then you can lower your center total by 2.

In Kidd's scheme you can lower it by 5.

What are the odds the Bucks can land a center that could have a greater impact than just having Giannis defend the center position?

If Giannis defends at center, the Bucks magically have a defensive STUD....rim protecting, rebounding, and causing all sorts of problems for the other team. Meanwhile on offense.....matchup NIGHTMARE for the other team.

I think an argument could definitely be made that the Bucks could build a contender more easily by penciling Giannis in as arguably the best center in the league. It also gives the Bucks a ton of flexibility as to where a major upgrade acquisition should go.
