It's been rough watching the Jazz play without a NBA center who isnt near completely physically washed. If the Jazz want to establish some defensive principles, it would be much easier to do so if your rim protection isnt hugely negative.

Should the Jazz waive someone (I would assume it would be Anderson or Love) and sign a free agent center (Mo Bamba would probably make the most sense)?

Give Oscar some burn. Play 5 out since everyone thinks that is Hardy's preferred style.

This is how you tank with decent players. A big roster hole. This is the price we must pay.

This.
Jazz can always just go bigger, with no real center and play 5 out on offense and some zone and lots of switching and helping and chaos on defense.

Flip and Lauri are both 7 foot. Hendricks is large. Ace is really long.

We can use Oscar.

Hardy doesn't have to go with nurk and love exclusively. He also doesn't have to start svi and play him all the minutes. Hardy gonna hardy though
 
I think we have a great opportunity to have a revolving door of GLeague centers. Plenty of playing time, and if someone sticks you can get them on a great contract.

But if you really believe in the vets=development stuff, hard to beat Nurk+Love. They are perfect system fits. 5 out, passing, offensive rebounding, no defense. Good for the tank too.

This. They don't hurt the other guys and do help them in many ways offensively. Will still be a net negative. I think Hardy also needs to see what a 5 out offense is most likely going to look like unless you get a unicorn. Maybe he will appreciate having a traditional big that protects the paint?

I just don’t need 48 minutes of it….seems like a waste to punt on an opportunity to get a Hinkie special. IMO, open roster spot is as good or better than 2nd round pick.

If it were up to me, you can play 24 minutes of Nurk/Love, 12 minutes of GLeague revolving door (can be any type of C), and then 12 minutes of Flip/Hendricks at the 5.

I think the biggest wish list item for Hardy in a C is the dribble handoff/offensive hub stuff. But we should be open to other types of centers/players.

Maybe churn some two way guys. I don't think they will waive Love, Anderson, or Niang right now for various reasons. The only other small salary would be Svi...

Oh wait... I have decided we need to open up a roster spot if it means no more Svi.

I had this same thought, but then I remembered that the Gleague is a waste land for centers. I think in general it's very difficult to find diamonds in the rough at the center position. Maybe Euroleague?
