Lopez may be the most talented of the targets but his cap figure is going to make it hard to add a $15+ million FA and have enough solid depth. It won't be quite as bad as the year they made the playoffs only after adding DC/QPon/Peak Norris Cole, but it will be a similarly top heavy roster to start the season.
Okafor may not be a great fit, but he is cheap if it doesn't work out and as you've long said, Dell's biggest problem is his optimism bias.
Vucevic seems to be the best mix of talent upgrade while not killing your cap so much that you can't have 8-10 NBA caliber players on your roster to start the season.
I really don't think a center is the answer to that question. What a 4 man unit of Holiday/AD/Hill and either DC/Jones is missing is another wing. Give me a guy that can score/create and play passable defense to add to those 4. The crazy thing is Tyreke checks so many of those boxes, it's a shame he couldn't adapt better.

I don't know how many perfect fits there are in the league and/or are coming into the league, though.

Bingo.
If Asik could do his job, he'd suffice.
Kyle O'Quinn is exactly what AD needs at center. If there's a trade for a center, it should be for him.
There are tons of centers still on rookie deals that would more than suffice. That's all that is needed.
I've been talking about Kevin fricken Seraphin for almost 3 years now. He's cheap as could be, and would serve his purpose of guarding centers and playing minimal minutes. He's nothing special, and won't cause us to win more games by himself, but he's cheap, can guard a center for 15 minutes a game, and allows us to spend money on wings instead of bigs.

Look- you are talking to the guy who wants to go with DMo and Joffrey next year. You don't have to sell me. I'm just trying to do it from their POV. And Okafor makes zero sense to me unless you get him for expirings and maybe a second
