Feaster has made more effort to improve the centre position in his two years on the job than Sutter in his last eight. He drafted Jankowski, signed cervenka, now this, in addition to the Richards attempt. He has shown what he truly values. Talented centres. As long as he remains committed to stockpiling as many centres as he can get his hands on, he's on the right track. But at a certain point, the guy can only do so much.
And wasting assets to acquire lesser players is not the way to go about business.

Exactly. If this team ever wants to be a true contender again they need elite players at the centre position. At least Feaster recognizes that.
