Maybe Nurkic comes off the bench for you behind Klingin, something like that. You know, uh, But then you have the Aiton issue as well. But I want to see them go with two bigs sometimes. I'd like to see them try that out more often. I don't know. I think Billups is resistant to doing that. But at least Nurkic is a guy, he's a vet. Maybe he plays a little bit off the bench for you.

I don't think there's many teams out there that would want a five making his money with how inconsistent he is.
