Assuming we need 3 centers max, who's the odd one out?

Well, you keep Ayton and Clingan.

You might as well keep Williams until you can get value.
And because Duop won't bring anything back in a trade you keep him too. Cheap contract and he can play some stretch 4.
 
until Williams proves he can play more than 6 games, we can't depend on him for anything.
 
If Timelord were healthy...but then again, no.
But could he fetch value, if he were to go?
It's likely two seconds is the best we can do
Still this is my choice over the other two.

And you can tell everybody, Rob should be gone
It may seem quite simple, once it is done.
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How I want to trade Robert Williams the third.
 
Duop is suited to playing backup 4 and Timelord can slot in at the 4 for stretches as well. Keep the bigs...it's a long season

Ayton is the best center we've had since Oden and he's still young. No better guy to practice against for the rookie at this point. Clingan hasn't shown he can play big minutes in the league yet. Ayton is in my view the best player on the roster right now. I know some folks want to lose but I'm not interested in tanking.

Ayton is amazing in theory, but just seems to lack "it". He's too passive. Which is why we're probably stuck with him, as I just can't see anyone wanting him (except maybe the Pelicans for Brandon Ingram, but I'd rather keep Ayton in that instance).

He's not a better defender than Williams. Or three point shooter than Reath. He's certainly PAID more than the others.

Maybe....

But Ayton is the best All-Around C we have.

Ayton is not a perfect player. But he is better than most are giving him credit for. He's a starting quality player. He's a top 20 C in the league
 
We need a 5th center so we can play them all at once.

Tall Ball!

He's healthier than Williams, a better offensive threat than Williams, a better defender than Reath, a better rebounder than Reath, has a higher PER than both, and more importantly 30 teams out of 30 teams would take him as their starter over Reath or Williams.

No, they 100% would not, because of his salary.
 
I love it….. he’s “hearing” this.

This is what is known as damning with faint praise.

One guy can't stay healthy on the court, and the other guy gets winded after 15 minutes, didn't make it into the league until he was 27, and is a gimmicky player (like Boban is)....vs the other guy who is apparently paid too much.

Ok...

Offense is important too. How many scoring centers have we had that have been better? Maybe 4 or 5 in a half century?

Thank God. Whoever voted DA here needs a serious brain exam. I’ll assume trolls who just hate him. It’s not realistic unless he has a complete mental breakdown waiting for us to become playoff ready. Him and DC compliment each other too strongly to not see it out. /rant
 
Timelord needs to be traded if he starts looking healthy enough to help the team. Can't count on him long term, but a team who needs him short term may be willing to part with future draft capital to get that help.
