That is exactly what we need, but how and where to get it without killing future flexibility is an issue. Mbenga was on the inactive list last night, that means they plan to keep him around which means they don't plan to take back more than $4 million in salary in any potential deals, and unless they plan to use him as a trade chip, it also suggests they may have no plans to go after a backup big.

I don't want to get stuck in mediocrity by taking on bad contracts but I don't want to think this is the roster we'll be trying to "win now" with.
