How should we obtain a Center?

  1. draft one (e.g. Gobert)

    9 vote(s)
    27.3%

  2. sign a journeyman on the cheap (e.g. Birdman)

    8 vote(s)
    24.2%

  3. spend half or more of our cap space on one (e.g. Chris Kaman)

    4 vote(s)
    12.1%

  4. Spend the bulk of our space, picks, players on one (e.g. Andrew Bynum)

    I must have missed when he did that.

    Truth is Bynum really IS a dick.

    No, you didn't, a guy on realgm did during the draft coverage last year. You must have pasted that part and now someones incorrectly attributing the quote to you.

    Oden had the world in his hands and became an alcoholic instead of being responsible while a franchise pays him millions of dollars. He is an idiot. Bynum has proven he can play a season as an all star and will always be better than oden

    I think you have him confused with Vin Baker.

    I wonder how he's going to look this time around.

    The last MF comeback he looked/moved like Kendrick Perkins.

    I want a defensive enforcer for a starting center. Bynum can be a defensive presence when healthy, but I can't seem him as an enforcer given how frail he is.

    There aren't many out there. Chandler certainly looked a step slower this season. Sanders is a great weak-side shot locker but I wouldn't call him an enforcer. Drummond fits that description but obviously he's not available.

    Not sure if Chandler looked a step slower because of regression or injuries. I know he had a neck injury.

    Doubt NY trades him anyways

    I'm at the point where I'd give up LMA AND #10 for Drummond and scraps.

    I have zero desire to deal LMA but it he voiced at all the desire to be traded Drummond would be my target as well. If he feels that way I just hope LMA doesnt keep quiet about wanting to be traded until its too late to get something good if it comes to that.

    Call me a homer, over valuer, or whatever you want, but for an Aldridge package, I want Drummmond + Greg Monroe. I'm going to the trade machine right now. ;)

    Yeah, It's not gonna work. Aldridge makes too much. Monroe and Drummond are still both on Rookie deals.

    The ONLY advantage to that would be the cap space for next summer on what is supposed to be a good free agent market but thats a pretty big gamble
