re: Why is BI scared to raise up over Dort? And why does Willie hate Jonas?

Yes I agree but for teams like Minnesota and others that have true big men you need traditional centers. I’m not saying give Jonas $15 mil a year again but I would gladly give him 2 years $22 million to finish his career as a Pel and then draft or find a Larry replacement that can run for matchups like OKC. We need both options. That’s just me though. People forget all those 20 and 15 games Jonas gave us that allowed Z to play better because JV did all the dirty work.
