We don't have any backup center (Nnaji is not a center!!!). The strategy to build a bench who can compete in deep play off runs out of low first round picks and second rounders is extremely unlikely to pan out. Look recent Warriors example with lottery picks Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody.
Why not signing Tyson to a two contract and bring up a vet Center with minimum contract? Why spending TMLE (with PO!) in a player who got 0 minutes in Play Off? Use Brown example (x3 salary after playing with Jokic) to bring quality players.
1-2 quality vet players would have given us a boost at low risk. I am not sure this roster is better than last year's
Nnaji can/will be utilized as a small-ball C much the way Green was used (I think, if healthy, he could be better than Uncle Jeff) and we did resign DAJ, so there is that.
As for the youth, Booth did draft older rookies knowing they should be able to produce within Jokic's Championship window better than underclassmen will be able to.
And you gotta give Calvin some benefit of the doubt, especially given his salary cap restraints. Aside from the inevitable loss of Brown (who can blame him for taking that contract, we couldn't offer him ANYTHING close...and at least he didn't leave for the Lakers), the only questionable move IMO is Reggie Jackson (although I can see a possible scenario where CB uses his salary in a trade)
