He has a good mid range, and they are missing that from their big men. Gomes has an okay midrange, but Aldridge would be the ideal high post for them.</div> Why have a 6'11" bigman shooting jumpers? Eh.

    you can't have every big man play underneath the basket. A high post player would work well with Al and Perk.

Fazekas? Def not worth a first round pick, but did the C's end up with a 2nd rounder or no?

    um.. it's actually a complicated thing. If GSW ends up beating us in the lottery, we would switch places in the second rd. , ii'm not sure about all the details, but we most likely won't end up with a 2nd rounder.Ryan Gomes could very well end up being that midrange guy tho.

    What would you think about using part of the MLE on Fransico Elson? I think his price tag would be moderate based on his poor showing in the playoffs. He would add that midrange big man.

Rondo is a great team leader and has loads of potential. I don't see why you guys are interested in Roy when you have Pierce and Green.

    Roy is a two. Pierce and Green both play the 3. I agree Rondo is much better than Greene, but I believe that drafting a back up point seems a bit silly. It appears the C's will stick with West running the show, so why take Rondo?

    Ofcourse they can, but they both play the 3. Wally and TA is the two guard rotation, thats what I was saying.

    Wally can play the 2 or 3 so you guys are stacked on the wings so their is no need to draft Roy.

    I'm not in favor of taking Roy or another wing player, it's just your logic did not make sense. That's what I was getting at.

    What? I said you guys have SG filled up which you do so you don't need to draft Roy.

    yes i am. i mean, i would personally rather take Splitter and have him immediately, but Elson's not a bad option.

    Ya after his not so hott performance in the playoffs the price tag might be not to bad. He is restricted though. Not sure how big on resigning him the Nuggets are, they may be inclined to let him go to and use the money to throw at Nene.
