    I love not having an undersized player who regularly needs help on D. Having good sized athletic guys at every spot should have a cumulative effect on winning the boards and loose balls. Having multiple long shotblockers helps shut down post play and encourages deep jumpers which often turn into fastbreaks going the other way.

    Lots of good stuff is going to be happening next year.

    Reminds me of 2 Bulls teams. The 2nd threepeat team had 4 guys around 6'7" (Rodman, Jordan, Pippen, Harper).

    Then there was the 80-81 team: Theus, Wilkerson (6'7" each), Gilmore (7'2"), Greenwood (6'9"), Kenon (6'9"). Won 45 games.

    People are so uninformed when they say LMA is a softie

    I agree, but last season it wasn't a stretch to call him that.

    I can understand Frye being called a softie, but LMA would try to stand up for himself even if he was smaller than some guys. It's not his fault Joel was always there to back him up cause Joel probably just wanted to fight lol
