Nets have Kristic. But, I need they need something more on the defensive end. I mean Kristic puts up pretty nice numbers on the offensive end. It's just that the defensive game is more important. Especially for a big man with a couple decent shooters in your lineup.

I also think the addition of Darius Songaila will help their offense and Antwan Jamison can fill in at power forward if needed.</div>Brendan Haywood is a terrible offensive player. He doesnt have any post moves at all. Most of his points come from tip in dunks or offensive rebound put backs. As for Jamison, he doesnt even play like a big man, so I can understand why the Wizards are on this list.Yeah, the Sonics was another good one.

I would go with the Kings also. Brad Miller is more of a power forward. They need a shot blocking big man.

(contract year) Swift is an OK shotblocker, Collison more of a rebounding power forward, and Petro is developing, I just think that they need someone who can score in the paint consistantly.

They are very weak under the basket and they cant hold the center spot for the Sonics. Saer Sene is a defensive minded player but he is VERY raw. He doesnt really know how to play the game at all...

Phoenix does need one. We need another rebounding/defensive big man because the health of Kurt and Amare is questionable and we can't play small all the time. We need more than 1 or 2 guys that are at 6'10.

They have two below average starting centers IMO. Average at best. Neither can score and they are only good for defense. and they arent even great at that...Diop is alright i supposse but Dallas could use a good center.
Mostly I think that it's unreasonable for those teams to pick up anything better than they have. There probably isn't anything that Dallas would be interested even if there was something available. Maybe the Suns could do better, I don't know. I realize there can be injury, but I guess they didn't want much of anything, because they didn't pursue much of anything. I mean, if you guys are arguing that they need centers so badly, then what centers were they pursuing?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rok @ Aug 14 2006, 09:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Nets have decent big men, especially Nenad Krstic. Collins, Robinson, Moore, Ilic and Boone when he comes back is not a bad set of big men. I would say the Sonics who don't really have a experienced big men, and are relying on green centers. And maybe Grizz because other then Gasol, their weak, Swift is still a question mark if he's going to be with the team or not.You should put Nachbar in the swing rotation, he's not a power forward. Also, Collins should start again alongside Krstic and you forgot to add Ilic, their newest big man.</div>AMEN the sonics have NOTHING
