re: Derek favors good or terrible?

Yeah you probably have to look to the trade market and hope a team like Indiana is willing to move on from Turner finally, barring that, there are not many centers out there that fit the mold without some glaring downsides.

FA wise? maybe Serge Ibaka? Had a resurgence moving to center and is now scoring 16ppg and shooting threes at 40%. But is *coughs* 30*

Meyers Leonard? He could make sense like he does in Miami as a 15-20min player. But I would bring him in only for a really cheap price and suspect he just stays put.

Honestly, wish we had just kept Wood over Okafor so he wouldn’t have wanted out and we would have all the utility tools in the center knife. A rim protecting banger in Favors, an athletic floor stretcher and scorer in Wood, and the freak athlete to be molded in Hayes. Depth and matchup versatility. And from a fit perspective, Wood is probably the only other guy we could go after in free agency that checks most of the boxes, but I suspect that bridge is burned and the Rockets/Celtics have already made it known with deadline offers that they want to pry him away from a Pistons team that also really likes him.
