    That's random that that came up in an interview. I didn't read the link, they must have asked him where else he might fit in. He's a banger, that's for sure.

    Landry would be a great fit and would be perfect off the bench. I don't see how we could afford him though.

    well, I like Carl's confidence, but he's also "undersized" as a 6'8" helper in place of Greg and Camby

    i think he would be a nice change of pace from LMA at the 4, and would even work with LMA at the 5

    lma/ landry
    oden/ camby

    is solid

    I agree that it's solid, but I'm more afraid that the following is the "truth":

    PF: Wallace/Landry
    C: LMA/Chris Johnson

    DNP-(knee): Oden, Camby

    Though you have to admit...on the days when Oden, Camby and Roy are inactive we'll have around 36M worth of players sitting in suits on the bench. That's just about what Sacramento paid their team last year.

    Well, at least we agree there. Except I think Elliot can jump higher.

    I'm all for it. I'd love to get a guy like Landry on the team.

    I would love to get Landry! If anyone has seen him play against us he has had some great games. I also love his toughness which we need since LA decided to crawl back into is soft shell again at the end of last season.

    If the league decides to eliminate NO, Charlotte and Sactown we could get him in the dispersal draft.

    I would like to know why he was talking about Portland. I think he would be a great addition to the front line.

    The minus is that Landry has not shown he can shoot isolations all day. Useless. The plus is that getting him now would prevent message boards from dying all through 2011-12.

    How about Juwon Howard? Do you have any thoughts on that guy or whether it was a smart move to let him go?

    It's great to find followers. You are right. We wouldn't be having this discussion if we had kept Juwan Howard.

    Notice how they kept it a secret about who got rid of him? They're acting guilty, like they know they did something wrong.
