I'm ready to move hickson stat

You should also try to work with what you have available. If you think LA is the premier rim protector on the team, then you treat him as such.

 

I like Meyers Leonard. However, he's still the "Foul Machine." He needs to get that under control.

 

I'm fine with that too

 

I don't think that in the slightest, and no one should

 

It's obvious you dislike Hickson's defense. Surely then you think LA is better, right?

 

Better than Hickson doesn't not make him good. Hell, Batum is probably our best shot blocker.

 

I agree with that. So, we'll take our lumps with him as the starting 5 and may not make the playoffs this season.

 

Shot blocking is one aspect of defense. I was viewing it as the overall package.

 

I really don't consider Aldridge to be a good defender. Not as good as he should be anyway.

 

I was trying to get MM to tell me that.

 

Aldridge is a decent defender, but not a rim protector, much less a premier one

 

So, in your opinion, who is our premier rim protector?

 

We don't have one

 

That's what I was going to say.

 

With that in mind, then we have to look at our most valuable assets if we want to trade for a rim protector and/or bench this season.

 

But that begs the question, who is even available?

 

Why does it need to be done this season?

 

I never said it had to be this season. I used the qualifier, "if we want to."

 

Yep, and what are we willing to trade. More than likely it would have to be at least one of our starters.
