I would not help them in any way but I will say this, if Lopez wasn't a health risk, he would help us a lot. We didn't lose to the Cavs because of defense, we lost because we couldn't score/rebound. I want us to get a defensive C for sure but if we had to put Lopez and most of this group back out there, it wouldn't be that bad.
Now, my preference is for us to get a great defensive C and an SF along the lines of a Butler or Leonard to give us defense and offense. Heck, I hope we get to see how Jae grows as a player next season after a summer of work. He can work on being more than a 3&D guy.
