Tucker in the middle.The veteran presence of Dewayne Dedmon the past two seasons.The emergence this season of two-way player Orlando Robinson.And, then, the addition of veteran big man Cody Zeller last month at the buyout deadline.But as Yurtseven worked his way back from November ankle surgery, the landscape already was changing.Tucker already had been lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency last summer.Dedmon was struggling with his play and a foot injury to the degree tha...
