Bogut when healthy is a top 5 center because he plays both ends, and he has a mean streak. (Also because there are hardly any good centers.) (But he's very rarely healthy.)
Especially when the other team starts an undersized PF to guard you. Regardless how good Faried is, (and he is good) the size difference was substantial.
The lesson to learn from the Bogut trade is that in can pay off to take a risk on an injured guy who can fill a need once healthy WHICH IS WHY we should make an offer for Bynum. He'll come back eventually and he'll dominate and we'll say we wish we had him but it will be too late. He's won two titles and he was starting to dominate last season, had a 30 rebound game against the Spurs. Let's take the gamble. Sign Bynum.
I have never liked Bynum. (Head case IMO) However If he would sign for 11 mil a year I would take the gamble. And it would be a huge gamble.
They only made the switch from Koufos to Faried because Bogut and the W's were bitch slapping their front court from the outset. Bogut dominated tonight, but hes been just as dominant controlling the paint (minus the dunks that he got tonight) for all the other games. Somthing tells I can find a post of yours trashing the Warriors when they made the trade. Easy to say I told you so now. But that was a pretty polarizing trade and it seemed like most people took a stance at the time. I was pro-Bogut and anti-Monta.
