A 12-time NBA All-Star, six-time All-NBA selection and a 2001 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, he still owns the league record for most career offensive rebounds (6,731).Earlier in the day, they also added Jim Lynam.</div>http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/423...coaching_staff/
Man this is great. He's been mentoring the players for a while now. And now he'll be here full time to help out our high potential young bigmen.

Bottom line, players are going to do what they want to do for the most part. Moses Malone won't make Dalembert better. What high potential bigmen? Shavlick Randolph, Steven Hunter and Dalembert? Yeah...okay...
Although I see why we signed him, he's not going to have a huge impact on Dalembert... maybe a minimal one at best. Atleast now Dalembert has somebody who will consistently be on his ass...
