let me know if any other good options. Lots of centers available, at least a few solid options might be around in a week or so for cheap. Might be worth waiting and targeting point guard first.

I left off Tyler Hansbrough, which is always an option to return for a cheapish deal. We never really needed him last year, but I think he's still serviceable.

Damian Jones or AJ Hammons.

Tyler Zeller should be available now and Hill has ties to South Carolina. Assuming that Ian is out of range of course.

I say go for Gasol. Why not.
However I think Cho is targeting this spot via trade.

How about we figure out a trade for Mitch McGary. I've always liked him.

He actually got to play and played well two seasons ago before they got Kanter. I'd love to have him in a Hornets uniform. It couldn't cost that much.
Ian to the Wizards. It is looking more and more like Chobot is going to have to make a trade to fill out the rotation anyway.

Should've drafted one to play 2nd-3rd string. I guess I wouldn't mind trading for McGrary since he's a odd man out in OKC. We'll have a roster full of vanilla centers.

Can Nene defend?
I'd like the different look he would give the team. A bit of a bruiser compared to our Vanilla towers

I read somewhere that he has no gas left in the tank.

Yeah, I was surprised no one has mentioned Nene then looked him up and he turns 34 in Sept.

In the back of my mind I feel like Larry Sanders should get a call. He could be a 1+1 reclamation guy for us and fills a big need. Also our locker room being so cool would be helpful with his issues.

Something tells me Zaza Pachulia will find a home on our roster. Hickson and Bass wouldn't surprise me either and I suppose we're all prepared for the inevitable Humphries contract.
