    Here are some quotes from Joe Dumars

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">His feeling on big guys:

    ?One of my philosophies has been I like stockpiling big guys. I like having a lot of big people. You saw it come to fruition in the Lakers series when you can throw big body after big body after big body out there in situations like that. We picked up two 6-10 guys. We?ll see how it pans out, but I think when you have an abundance of big guys, it puts you in an advantageous position.

    ?The initial thing for me to do is get the stockpile together. Once you do that then you can start figuring out what?s the best course to take then. If you don?t have them, then there is nothing to figure out. My thing has always been get the assets, get all the guys together, as many good players as you can then you can figure out what fits, what doesn?t fit and then you go forward from there.?

    His and Larry Brown?s familiarity with Derrick Coleman:

    ?Larry is well aware of D.C. I?ve known D.C. since he was in high school around here. He?s a guy we?re very familiar with around here who?s extremely skilled. We know his game. Like I said, you can?t have enough big guys.?

    Seems he is going to meet with DC in a few days to discuss his plans.
