the type of 5 that fits into the 4 man lineup ATL posted isnt going to be cheap.

since they appear to be eager to get a name brand 5, they can move for a better contract but a worse fit...a la Okafor/Vucevic. or pay handsomely for a better fit at that spot.

they put themselves into this corner and refuse (for myriad reasons) to patiently work themselves out of it

I don't know how many perfect fits there are in the league and/or are coming into the league, though. The best you might hope for is a "good enough" fit. Which is why I can see the interest in Lopez

I mean, he is basically a super rich mans version of Ajinca and they just beat Memphis with that kind of center. Imagine if Ajinca was a good passer, didn't foul as much, and did everything he already does on offense 400% better. The fact that Lopez has to be respected out to 25 feet would open up all kinds of room for everyone

I get acquiring him for all those reasons. I get Vucevic for the rebounding element and an offensive game that is 200% of Ajinca and that has to be respected out to 18 feet. I can not and will not understand how Okafor helps though, unless they are moving Jones in a subsequent trade and he is essentially filling that role
