Sounds as if there are internal team issues, but you'd have to envision Hayes in a Bosh, Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, McHale, Aldridge role. All could play spot minutes at the 5 but were predominately 4s and played alongside traditional centers just fine. You do this because we have a glaring hole at the 4 and a lack of on-court difference makers. You let Billy or Val take the dunker spot and anchor the D and have Hayes cover perimeter on pick and roll where we've seen him excel.

I'm open to the idea, at the same time, Jax has looked almost like rookie Jax with the number of errors and lapses he's been committing.

And since he isn't Mobley, I don't really know how well a two big lineup would fair. It works in Cle and LAL because those 4's bring a lot to the table offensively, Hayes doesnt. I mean who helps give Val space a the 4? Hayes, or BI? If you are talking about Billy, you kind of get a free pass to double or triple others.

I'd be willing to try it though, just for the data.

But in my mind the alternatives make more sense than Jax at the 4.

It might make sense for Jax, but not for the team.
