Best case though; he kills it and makes Clint expendable by the deadline
If we are seriously trying to make the playoffs, we need quality depth.....what would be the point on moving Capela at the deadline? Gwu would have to be Trae like special as a rookie, but again playoffs - depth.

That's totally fair. And as some guys have already said, he should be able to back up either big spot which is nice. I just wonder if it's depth at the right spot? I was a lot more worried about our guard rotation than our bigs. But then again, if big O was the best payer available then you you've gotta go with him

Alex Len, Damian Jones, Bruno, Collins, Jabari Parker and Vince Carter - those were our bigs to start the season last year. Let that sink in for a second ...then ask again . We now have Capela, Dedmon, Gwu, Bruno, Collins
Hopefully in FAcy we fill the needs at guard and wing.

Point well taken I'll definitely be glad to never have to see Len play again lol.

I don't understand this argument. We need more than 2 quality players at center and power forward. We need depth. Now we have 3 guys who can rotate at both positions. We can go with Capela/Collins or Collins/OO or go with Capela/OO. We still need more depth than that, but now we at least have a foundation of a frontcourt. There's going to be injuries, foul trouble and fatigue throughout the season. We 100% needed another quality big man. I thought it was our greatest need for the whole team. Back up PG is much easier to find, no need to blow a high lotto pick on that.
