Ok. I hadn’t thought of a stadium name eg Staples Center.

But if a player is pro, his/ her job title could be “Centre/ Center”, ie “Center for NBA team the Boston Celtics”, like a “Ruckman for the Adelaide Crows”. But then if a player plays more than 1 position, is it 2 job titles, or “Centre/ Power Forward”/ “Center/ Power Forward”.

Or are we just over-thinking this a little...

Centre/Center is only a proper noun when it's part of a venue name, ie Perth Entertainment Centre/Staples Center. In that case, the correct spelling is the one actually used by the venue.

It's not a proper noun when used to refer to the basketball position.

Why would the noun type effect the spelling? It’s a common noun anyway, in general use. If we accept that Centre is a job title, it only results in the capitalisation/ capitalization of the word, not an alteration of its spelling. But you could argue a case for it when quoting a US source (even then you should probably use the brackets sic convention). That convention always looks like you’re trying to be a pedantic smartass/ smartarse by correcting someone’s spelling or grammar, at least to me.

Another eg of this:
Paediatric Gastroenterologist (English job title/ proper noun)
Pediatric Gastroenterologist (US job title/ proper noun)

paediatric medicine (English common noun)
pediatric medicine (US common noun)

For the paediatric pedants over there, or the paediatric pedants here.

Auto co-wrecks on Apple devices hate this stuff btw.

So if he and Randle are close why would he go to another team? Also has to wait for buyout from Knicks. And who knows if he likes the physicality of nbl, is there? And and this stage what does he bring, Bogut is better offensively and maybe defensively.And attitude has been shit lately.
Add that up and there's zero chance.
