    Anyone else see a problem here? The grizz already have size and we need it yet they make a good move and grab powe while we grab freaking unemployed Collins. Unreal. This is where you wonder about cho, I mean our big man situation is so bad we have to start la at center and bring camby off bench. That's pretty dire. I think we are one of the few teams in the NBA with no pg of the future or legit backup big man. Unreal. Seems like every team kills our bigs as of late. Maybe it's cause we have none.

    I thought Camby was our starting center.

    Collins can play backup center. Powe cannot.

    Powe is 6-7 dude. You want a 6-7 center?

    I don't care if Powe is small, he's gotta be a hell of a lot better than Collins. Collins is fucking terrible and has no business being in the NBA. Neither did Sean Marks. You have to wonder why they only pick up the worst available big men. It's stupid.

    Collins is a big who can set a pick and fouls hard. Thats pretty much all we need in a big and Powe is to small to do that. I'll take collins > Powe x100000000000000 for the center position.

    Collins sets terrible picks and fouls when he has no reason to.

    Powe can't play center. I'm happy with picking up Collins given the lack of current options. It would've been nice to get both, but whatever.

    I like Powe overall as a player better. Powe is not a C. He'd be a backup PF for us, with LMA moving over to C. But then, we'd have Leon powe eating into minutes of Gerald Wallace. That's just stupid.

    Collins picked up 1 stupid foul and that shouldn't have been a foul. As for his picks they were better then what the rest of our team save for LMA can put up.

    Who says Leon Powe is a better player than Jarron Collins? They're both not the greatest Centers in the world but both have had solid seasons in the past. If we start this Collins tenure by explaining why he sucks, he probably will suck. Lets at least give him the benefit of the doubt that he's probably better than Sean Marks and at least not that much worse than Leon Powe...

    What has Powe done lately aside from being on the injured list? You guys have the Powe from about 3 years ago stuck in your head. The guy hasn't done squat in awhile and has a lengthy injury history.

    Seems to me like your bitching just to bitch.
