They need another body, especially for the first three months of the season. Being forced to overuse Varejao early risks injury, and I don't think there is a more vital cogfor the playoffs than a rested Varejao. All those young guys with fresh llegs don't need the Popovich treatment.
If a trade doesn't materialize now, and I do think one will, just sign an experienced healthy body and plan to make a trade at the deadline. We got Hawes for a freaking second rounder last deadline... we can wait for better quality.
Agreed. I wouldn't mind going after a guy like Steven Adams if he can't find playing time between Perkins, McGary, and Thabeet. The Utah guys would be appealing to a team that doesn't want to pay the luxury tax and they're close to it as they stand now.
