So good does Baker look that head coach Lenny Wilkens thinks he could be their starting center. "You're going to be impressed when you see him, just in terms of his body, face," Isiah said. The reason for the change could be credited to the surgery Baker had in late June to correct a rapid heartbeat.</div> Full Story
Well, I still think its a bit risky to hand over a starting position to Baker, but this is alot less risky then trading away Kurt Thomas & starting Baker at the 4. At least he will be playing alongside Kurt Thomas, who is pretty consistent & stable. It seems like Zeke has really become impressed with Baker over the offseason. So he is clearly is pulling the strings to put Baker in the starting lineup. I just hope its a move for the better of the team. And not a move to save face for Zeke giving him to much money. And not landing a legit bigman during the offseason.
I would rather see Mohmammed come off the bemch and Sweetney start. When given the minutes he is very effective. More than Kurt, or Mohammed.
