    I wish the Dream would work out with Aldridge. I would love to see Aldridge using the "Dream Shake"

    with the shape Amare's in, he knows he can't lean on his athleticism anymore and needs to learn some post moves.

    Next he should train with Gary Payton, so he can learn how to steal the ball away from Carmelo Anthony.

    I think the Blazers should offer to go 50/50 on paying for this for anybody on the team who is interested.

    50/50?


    Allen should reserve him for the entire summer and have him work exclusively with our bigs. Money extremely well spent

    It's hard to say if he's actually a good teacher though.

    Who cares? What is a couple hundred thousand to Paul Allen? It's a low-risk, high-reward move.

    LMA would be unstoppable if he could pick up a few of The Dream's post moves.

    Lebron sure seemed to benefit from it?

    Did Dwight Howard display any more of a post game after working with Hakeem? I don't recall seeing it.

    Olajuwon's tutoring gig with Dwight Howard(notes) didn't result in any startling difference in Howard's offensive game last season. Dwight did establish a career high in points per game, and he did look more comfortable trying more complicated low-post maneuvers, but you could also chalk that up to a 25-year-old inching closer to his prime. Though Hakeem thinks it may have had to do with Orlando's offense. The Houston Rockets Hall of Famer also has worked with Kobe Bryant(notes), though we haven't seen many Dream Shakes emanating from the future Hall of Famer from Los Angeles. Chalk that up to Kobe knowing every move, ever.
    This isn't to say that Olajuwon isn't making a difference. And LeBron, smartly, wants a piece.

    When it comes to footwork, who would be the better coach: Hakeem or McHale?
