    I pretty sure that Noah was Center and Horford was PF. However, when they played OSU then Horford would guard Oden.

    Oh well then maybe I'm confused. I thought Noah was the one playing oden in the NCAA tourney. I've been wrong many times before, so I wouldn't doubt I'm wrong now.

    At any rate, I like Horford but he isn't a true Center in the NBA. He plays it because he has to. He could get by at Center on our team (since LMA is also big enough to play some Center minutes) but on a team with a normal 6 foot 8 PF then he is out of place.

    I watched Florida a lot that year, and Horford was the center the majority of the time he was in the game, even if it was with Noah. I don't care what they were called by commentators or whatever. They both played both positions, and from what I saw, Horford was more of the center.

    Now I can definitely get behind Aldridge for horford. I would rather have horford than Noah anyway.

    I think with LMA then Noah makes more sense (But not sure how you could ever get both) but without LMA then Horford makes more sense. So agree with your take.

    There is only one big I think is at the equal level as Aldridge and that's horford. My sting of losing Aldridge wouldn't hurt as bad, knowing we got horford back. He's younger too.

    Source says the Warriors are sending Andris Biedrins, Richard Jefferson to the Jazz. Checking on what they're getting back.

    Thats why his PER differential is significantly better at C then PF. He is a +5 or 6 at C, and a -1 or 2 at PF.

    Shrug.

    Hope this doesn't mean Bogut or Lee/Klay to the Blazers for LMA.

    Would NOT be happy.

    I would be very unimpressed if I were a Jazz fan. Adding 20 millions dollar of crap? What am I missing?
