    "Bynum was clearly annoyed by J.J. Hickson, who was defending him most of the night. Hickson was giving up about three inches and 40 pounds to Bynum, who swatted Hickson for a flagrant foul in the third quarter. “The guy guarding me was an infant,” Bynum said."

    He doesn't seem to be out of position as much as Hickson did when he was here

    No. T-Rob hasn't quite figured it out ... but he's less of a finished product and a lot younger so he gets a pass (for now).

    if he is twice as good, it doesnt matter that he is twice as bad offensively (if he is)

    i was of the opinion that jj would have been great as a backup to lma, but that was just for some offense, which jj isnt really good at either

    adieu sweet jj, twas too soon that we parted, but not soon enough

    Cleveland won 60+ games with him starting many of the games at center. And then Mike Brown went with Shaq in playoffs instead and they lost in second round. Please learn the game before posting.

    Denver is a not a bad team. Hickson has been a contributing rotational player there. He was a great pickup for us off waivers. No he wasn’t a starting center but I’d love to have him on most teams for 15mins a game as a backup.

    I thought Robinson played great last night. Well, great for Robinson. Anyway, I like what I see from him - I think he'll look quite good by the end of the season.

    pretty much this, him with a defensive rim protector type center for 15-20mpg would be fine

    why does he keep getting slotted into the center position? because he cant guard pfs? he cant guard centers either!

    Yeah I agree most people here don't value your opinion very highly.

    If you explained your arguments with more than childish statements perhaps people would?

    I tried that in the past, but it never seemed to work.

    Well there just isn’t enough centers in the league but there is an abundance of power forwards. There will always be guys playing out of position, especially players who are fringe starters or good backups.

    Having a center is so valuable, it makes me very curious what kind of contract Lopez and Freeland will be able to get in two seasons. Guys like Erika Dampier got massive deals. Remember the Mavs decided to let Steve Nash walk as a free agent to sign him.

    That too bad, I feel sorry for you that you don’t know how to articulate your thoughts into a written medium.
