Should We Keep Zeller Or Make A Trade For Something Like Monroe or Henson
Or Draft A Center Under Top 10
If Someone Offered a 1st pick or 2nd round pick + a descent player would you do it?

For now he is the starting Center. But really is a backup center

Yeah, I'm fine with him as a backup, but if he's a long-term option as a starter, we're probably in trouble.

I agree, but I bet the Cavs would be thrilled to have him back right now.

Yeah, he would play the Brandon Bass (or dare I say, Perkins) role of the Cs a couple of years ago on a very good team. It's possible he could start, but he has to be surrounded with much better players. This goes for a number of players in the NBA, but he is skilled enough and unselfish enough to not pose too much of a hindrance.

He is who he is because of Rondo.  Let's not forget that.  How he's able to play without Rondo in games will determine.  I'm not ready to make that leap yet.

this i agree
with rondo traded to dallas or sacramento
i don't know how good zeller will play now that rondo might be gone
with 3bigs of fav sully kelly
i'd rather move him for a picks and draft a center next season

Would you be willing to sign Zeller to a maximum-length MLE-sized contract right now if it was permitted by the CBA?  If you even have to think about it in the slightest, he's not a guy who should be seen as the long-term solution at center.

He actually had plenty of really good games with the Cavs two years ago so I disagree.
