By Naming Lue I meant moreso that of any team that needs something desperately at their position it would have to be Atlanta. I took into account how much Speedy Claxton has dropped off.
Kendrick Perkins is a lot like Brendan Haywood. When motivated, they can get you a double-double any game. They are both defensively, underrated centers. Their presence in the paint affects a lot of shots. However, there are some games where they can just lay a goose egg.
Every Portland game I saw(which was probably around 8 or 9) Udoka had very nice games. I wouldnt put him down, his name just isnt known yet.

People sing Mikki Moore's praises, the guy who plays center most of the time, but he makes much less of an impact on the game.</div>He has a big impact in a short amount of time, but over the course of a full set of minutes, it's he won't have a seven point per game impact on the game. He does nothing on the offensive end, is not a strong rebounder, and gets alot of fouls in a short amount of time. In more minutes he would more than likely foul out, and leave his team without him, than be there. With him being so foul prone, it makes him alot less dependable for his team. So his impact might look good in 21 minutes, but it would not be the same if he played a complete 30 minutes per game or so.
Mark Blount.The guy is a straight up goon. Can't rebound, can't post up, and all he brings to the table is an 18 footer. Not to mention he looks like a f*cking giraffe.

Sasha Pavlovic and Tony Battie come to mind for me.. but Pavlovic isn't that bad and Battie is in there for defensive purposes.

I absolutely LOVE Tony Battie. He's a pretty good defender, and a great energy guy who plays his role extremely well.
