yeah, at least as a backup. i've mentioned pappagiannis before, and there are probably others like that who look ready for a shot (or, in that case, another shot).
Lol saw the thread alive and came here to write exactly that. He's not dead. And can be a spicy expiring by the deadline if we need. Until then, he's exactly the type of guy who can give 10-15min of a stretch 5 JJ seems to like. If he's still good, we have a decent backup for the PO. If he's washed, great trade assets by the deadline
Kleber covers PF and C. He'd be a tremendously helpful player if he was healthy and at the level of a season or two ago. He probably replaces Vando in the playoff roster and allows us to play a switch kind of defence quite well, while still being a decent shooter.
he's just never healthy anymore. and i think it's taken a cumulative toll. if kleber from three years ago showed up, jj would be thanking the good lord, but i don't think he's walking through that door. if he ends up on the roster to start the season, i could totally see him helping out when guys are hurt, though.
To be fair, a broken foot isn’t a breaking down injury, it’s usually a, that was an unfortunate incident injury. So you’re generally optimistic they heal well.
