Yeah, but not just any 4/5. We need a guy with size who has nba qualities outside of having size. You get a vet min/2-way guy with size, but can you give him more than 15 minutes on the court if he can only rebound and not get bullied? Guys like McD/Prince can switch and defend multiple positions, stretch the floor, cut, maybe create a bit if the shot clock is ticking etc. A vet min big guy playing 25-30 minutes would improve our rebounding, but he would take away switching/shooting etc. and most probably would have worse total impact than our undersized PF's.
We would have to give up real assets for a guy who has higher impact at PF than McD/Prince for 25-35 minutes, and when I say real assets, I don't mean Layman or Nowell and a 2nd rounder like a lot of delusional people on this board, because that doesn't land you such a guy, I mean Bolmaro or McDaniels plus a protected 1st rounder, or Beasley/Prince/Beverley plus a 1st if we're talking higher salary vets. But people here think Wolves can have their cake and eat it too.
Or...it's just a big banger that can come in for certain matchups. So when we are playing teams that have a size advantage, particularly at the 5, we don't get crushed inside. It's funny, you make it sound difficult, but many teams have better size than us, plus defend better. Also, I never attached a minutes played to my post because it would be completely matchup determined. That might even mean games where Kat starts where he should which is at the 4.
