Ideally you'd want a guy who can defend the rim, at least a league average rate, and space the floor with an effective three point shot, at least at a league average rate.
If you can't have that, at least have a player who do at least ONE OF THOSE THINGS at a league average rate.
The problem is a guy like Kanter can't do either of those things. And he's a massive cap hit. Noah cannot do either of those things. And he's an injury risk. And he's a problem in the locker room.
What the team needs is a guy who can do at least ONE OF THOSE THINGS at a somewhat cost controlled contract situation.
The problem is a massive AAV/Cap Hit for fading guys who can't do any of it. It's like marrying a chick who doesn't work, won't blow you, won't clean, but will only cook gourmet meals for herself.
No one is asking for a combination of Selena Gomez and Martha Stewart here. Just someone who can pick up a freaking vacuum cleaner once in a while. Or get on their knees and swallow some nut once a week. No one is asking for a miracle, just not having to play Twister with basically a homeless person.
