Because that's just completely not his game. IMHO a large part of the Lakers problems has been playing folks out of position and/or against their strengths. Then folks wanna get mad when they don't perform well. LOL! Sacre is a serviceable backup, let's just get an actual Center to be our Center.
It's not like he has to check Shaq or anything. The bigman positions are usually interchangeable. He will be matched up against centers sometimes, as probably will Randle occasionally.
Seriously out of all the ideas I've seen on this site historically and recently, I think I LOL'd the hardest at this one. To put it simply 'NO'.
Kelly is a PF or perhaps actually could almost work better at SF. He is by no means a C. Kelly does not have the bulk/size, back to the basket game or defence to attempt to play the C position. Please just stop.
Ha! I actually meant to write it the way you had it.

ha ha I thought that might have been the case....just helping you out _________________ "We might have had the worst season ever or could have the worst season ever for a Lakers team, but now let's have the greatest comeback that the league has ever seen." - Kobe Bryant
So what if Kelly gets posterized, all he has to do is go back down the court on offence and drain the 3. All he's gotta do is outscore the other centre right?
I would let Kelly play just about anywhere. I just want him to develop to be an asset either with us or with another team. If he appears useful at center, I am ok with that.

To elaborate on this, there are not a whole lot of Centers in the league that actually have any post moves. Outside of the Gasol brothers and maybe D Howard who is going to kill him in the post? Robin Lopez? Deandre Jordan? Perkins? Noah? Most of those guys barely touch the ball on offense. His biggest weakness would be on the boards, but if you put him out there with Randle or Hill they can do most of the board work.
The huge upside comes on offense where he spaces the floor for penetration from Lin, Kobe, Swaggy, etc. Especially when he plays with Randle who likes to drive from the wings. Our spacing would be epic with Kelly at C. _________________ “This goes far beyond paychecks”
So with Ed Davis, we have a glut of PFs with Randle/Hill/Davis (though Hill/Davis can play some center). Is kelly not coming back? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
