JA does not help the spacing issues this team faces . He simply can just cover up for some of the defensive deficiencies .


There’s like 5 centers who can fix both our spacing and rim protection issues and none of them are getting traded because surprise surprise, they are all valuable as frick and already play for teams competing for championships/are franchise cornerstones. So odds are very good that we will not be able to acquire that players at the deadline or in the offseason.

The Pels will have to focus on getting a center that fits better offensively or defensively, not both. It is what it is.

I’m aware . That’s not to say trading for JA is a bad idea or bad trade .

However ,

Shuffling tertiary pieces does not do much to raise the ceiling or floor of this team .

The band aid needs to be ripped off while you can get value for a particular player . Give your self a chance at a player or players that have the potential to raise the ceiling/floor or a player that may help the team as a whole be better than the sum of its parts .
