    Apparently the potential Oberto replacements include:
    Earl Barron
    Eric Boateng
    Dwayne Jones
    ...and Shavlick Randolph.

    I have a feeling this will end up with just waiting for Przybilla to get ready. Because all of these guys were available when we signed Steven Hill... who we waived a day later. But PLEASE:not Shavlick Randolph AGAIN. What pictures does he have of NBA GMs?

    What happened to Michael Ruffin?

    I would be ok with his return.

    S-Bo seems like a KP guy (finesse 4 who likes to shoot but doesn't do much else). If Cho really does value players who play both ends of the court, then it would make sense that he'd lean toward a guy who can at minimum compliment the front court players we currently have. In which case, I would like to see a defender/rebounder added over a bean-pole like Shavlik.

    Dwayne Jones was the player of the year in the D league last year I think. I say give him a shot, good shot blocker and rebounder.

    Works for me ... worst case is that he's barely adequate, which is probably still preferrable to Camby burning himself out playing 36+ minutes per night and LMA logging half of his minutes at the 5. Basically we're talking about a guy who needs to bridge the next couple of weeks until Przybilla can go 10-15 a night and provide a body in practice thereafter.
