*just listing guys...some may be way out of reach. Some would start, some might not get a minute if we're healthy
Steven Adams still one of the elite offensive rebounders and best pick setters EVER...great dude too. HOU would be foolish to let him get away
Clint Capela
Marvin Bagley (maybe not a real C, but perhaps a guy that could also burn minutes at PF, on a very low deal)
Andre Drummond one of the great rebounders of all time
Mason Plumlee had some really good seasons, very solid passer
DeAndre Jordan huge and (formerly?) athletic...anything left in the tank?
Luke Kornet almost 30, probably very happy in BOS, doing his thing, collecting rings
Santi Aldama very interesting, overlooked in MEM?, shoots 3's but can he do big man stuff defensively?
Jaxson Hayes catches lobs high above the rim...I think that's all he does well
Mo Bamba no, I'm serious, obviously a deep dive, vet min...but he can shoot 3's and, when active, he's an elite shot deterrent around the rim, weak
Guys that might be available via trade that MAY be of interest...
Mitchell Robinson really good, really big defender & rebounder...just too much of a chronic injury risk for me
Porzingis also a constant injury watch, but man is he good. BOS loves him, but could be a cap casualty for a less expensive, lesser player
Robert Williams I love Time Lord, and he's been playing this year, but another full-time injury risk guy...would be a great backup somewhere else
DeAndre Ayton superstar agility in a huge body. Good offensive skills inside, not a 3pt guy, expiring $35.6m, minimal defense. Clingan on-deck in POR
Jusuf Nurkic huge vet, not a mobile defender but good offensive skillset, expiring $19.4m, will CHA draft Maluach, will Mark Willliams stay healthy?
VUUUUUUC expiring $21.5m, dude can shoot and has been an elite defensive rebounder, weak defender, but big and smart, used to be McHale-like
Jakob Poeltl MY CHOICE for a trade target...I could see TOR taking WCJ+, drafting Maluach, saving some $$$, knowing WCJ can switch to PF when need
Zach Collins expiring $18m, skilled but yet another chronically injured big
RoLo retired, why not? get him and his brother on team-friendly one year deals, to play together, Disney together. Brook is still awesome.
Daniel Gafford expiring $14.4, could be available with Lively and AD onboard in DAL, but won't be very cheap, good vertical player on both ends
Kelly Olynyk expiring $13.4, Gonzaga smart, shoots 3's and passes exceptionally well...like a bigger Ingles, not a defender, should be here already
Yves Missi good rookie season, pure raw athleticism and motor, shouldn't be available unless NOLA drafts a bigger version in Maluach
Bobby Portis $13.4 PO, if Giannis asks out, what's there for him...not really a C, but could cover 4/5 really well, does it all and is tough
Walker Kessler $4.9 expiring then RFA...BIG, elite rebounder at both ends, shot blocker, constant concern for those driving to the paint. Love it.
Dwight

retired, worn out, would jump to come back and finish in ORL, could he give 10 violent mpg? It's hard to imagine he couldn't impact
That's all for me...I'm exhausted...who'd I miss? who do you like? who am I wrong about that actually sucks?
