This post is best viewed on a cell phone or tablet. Before anything else, we need to make one thing clear: the Nets will not sign a starting-quality center unless they trade Brook Lopez this offseason. That's probably not going to happen. And the Nets aren't going to waste time pursuing, say, (spoiler alert!) Hassan Whiteside unless they can give him a starting role and gobs of money. But say the Nets find a team that will take on Lopez for a talented wing or point guard. That makes center an immediate need -- and there's a lot of intriguing names that could fill that void. So let's take a look at ten centers looking for a payday this offseason, under the assumption that the Nets could find themselves looking for talent this offseason. For the big-name guys, you can assume they'd only come along if the spot opened up. For the second-tier guys, the question is if they'd accept a backup role -- at what cost, and with what teammates. -Devin Kharpertian Also check out: Point Guards

Brooklyn Nets Free Agency Primer: Centers

By Elizabeth Swinton

Terrence Jones -- Restricted Free Agent The skinny: An oft-injured enigma, Jones at times looks like the embodiment of a modern power forward. Moments later, he looks like an absolute mess. Jones is promising, and he’s young, but he’s coming off an off-year where nearly all his stats dipped. He’s a little undersized, but he’s quick, can hit the boards, and shows glimpses of a three-pointer. Despite the promise, his most memorable NBA moment was the sullen look displayed as James Harden scored a game-winner against the Warriors to extend a playoff series that looked like a certain sweep. For whatever reason, he’s just yet to put it all together. Jones a fit? I think so. I am sure there are some who see much more promise in Jones than they do in McCullough. He has displayed in flashes all the skills you’d want to see around Lopez. He’s also young, and to a rebuilding team like The Nets, that matters. Worthy pursuit? The Nets do not have a need at this position, but Jones is interesting. And while it’s not “Crying Jordan,” there is some serious meme potential in Jones’ “Why’d you have to hit that?” face. It comes down to price. His stock is down at the moment, and a bargain is a bargain, whether you need it or not. If I’m Marks, I’d kick the tires on Jones if league interest wanes. -Ryan Carbain
