Now that the Rudy trade is official, what should the Jazz do about the gaping hole at starting center?
A.) Assume one of Udoka Azibuke or Walker Kessler shows enough to be a starting caliber player this year and find a cheap, third big to back them up?
B.) Make a big trade for a guy like Ayton or Turner - likely paying out assets to acquire them. If so, who and at what cost?
C.) Resign Hassan Whiteside to another minimum level deal and see how he does as a stopgap starter?
D.) Sign a different FA center for either a minimum deal or with part of the MLE? If so, who and at what price?
E.) Make a smaller trade using a mid level contract or one of the trade exceptions to get a functional starter for the time being? If so, who would you like to see targeted?
F.) Scour summer league rosters for the next Royce O’Neale and find a guy off the scrap heap that becomes a rotational player? If so, who would you like to see the Jazz target?
Thoughts?
