I agree. None of them are the answer. No one has come up with the answer. So pick someone up cheap for now. I am not seeing any other choice.
Since you didn't answer before I will ask one more time Not that there is anything wrong with shooting for the stars. With as bad as most Centers in the league are though you could make a case for Gortat being easily top 10. Who you have in mind if Gortat is so bad?
I don't mind DMC at all. Would take much more to get though. And he doesn't exactly blow Gortat away in stats. You have to think he could get even better of course.
We sure are asking a lot if 15/10/1.5 per game is not the answer. We are talking about a guy who can play D as well. This isn't a Hickson empty stats situation.
No I don't have a suggestion. I have talked myself out of all my ideas. (i.e Monte Eliis etc) More than likely any option that gets us our "missing pieces" will come by luck. Look at Memphis their missing piece at center was all luck. A throw in to a bad trade. Maybe we get lucky in the lottery......two years in a row. Maybe he is playing in Europe or South America. I just don't think any of the free agents are going to get us to championship level.
The Dude has thought for a while that wingspan and reach are more important than height in a center. Any player really. Does anyone have those numbers for the players you guys are comparing?
Dwight Howard is a physical freak. Not many people his height can do what he did/does. Jefferson is not Dwight Howard.
I agree with what was already said above though. Standing reach and wingspan are what is important. Height is inconsequential.
Yeah, I don't want to give up Batum for him. Maybe if they wanted to dump him. But then someone would probably offer more than we can part with.
