    Seems like Hibbert would severely get in the way of our young guys playing and us playing an up tempo game. Plus we'd lose the cap space that could be an even more valuable trade chip at the deadline. If you think Hibbert could return to form here then a deal for him makes sense. I don't believe he would so I'd pass.

    I don't see it. They both rebound but Ed has much better touch around the basket and Dale was a far superior defender. Very different players. I'd love if Ed became as impactful as Dale though.

    Yep. This is what I have been saying as well. Also, stretch, banger, inside offense, defender. Whatever the game calls for

    Don't forget Aminu

    His standing reach at the combine was 9'0.5"

    Yep for small ball. Great point.

    As someone said, we do need some guys who can create now. Also shooting is a sudden need.

    If Aminu put on 30 pounds he could be Serge Ibaka

    We have three shooters yeah? Leonard, Lillard, CJ. We have two "true creators" (CJ, Lillard). We have five garbagemen. To be good, we need one more creator, and two more dribblers.

    We saw that a tiny bit in the Memphis series; he was definitely being focused on once they realized he was hitting threes like Curry on steroids.

    He's a really good passer, like pinpoint perfect cross court one-handed good. If he's drawing big guys out there, Lillard and CJ will have a slashing field day (optimally). If they switch a little guy on him to stop the guards cutting, he need to learn how to take them.

    I love this pickup. Great deal on a player who is improving a lot and has the toughness we need and rim protection we lacked.

    We are certainly taking a step back without LMA, but there will be some damn fun players to follow, and I think Olshey is putting together a decent squad considering we aren't getting any big names and likely losing a ton of talent.



    My favorite quote on this subject from a laker board:
    "Ed Davis was not impressed by the Lakers presentation"

    I wouldn't complain about a S& T with the Suns bringing us Devin Booker as part of it.

    to be fair, though, Davis played with K*be for about half the season, so there were plenty of bricks to go around.

    Love this pick up.

    He played less than he should have because they also had Boozer.
