    Part of the problem with Biedrins is that he played Nellie ball. A system notorious for not utilizing its centers. He's only 25, has size and was once an elite rebounder. I'd take a flier on him.

    Define "good", then. Are you saying the back-up PF has to be a "good" starter for another team?

    Seems to me that a back-up PF should get the MLE, at best. With Camby/Oden/LMA/Wallace, you're looking at 15-20 mpg at best, hopefully. Unless your idea is to pay starter money for a "good" back-up PF?

    Joel Przbyilla signed with Portland when he was 25 and rapidly developed under McMillan's style. When in Atlanta he looked like he was destined to play in Europe.

    Joel was a defensive stalwart that packed the paint and brought toughness. I dont think it had much to do with Nate's style. More to do with opportunity.

    Actually, according to Joel, it was more about conditioning and having the flame of competition relit within him.

    And last I checked - being serious here, I haven't seen Bedrins play in a long time - isn't he sort of a defensive big man? Blocks shots? Rebounds? That sorta stuff?

    Hayes would be awesome. Top 5 post defender in the league and he's only 6'6".

    The young Charles Oakley! They've got young prospects at the 4/5 that's about three deep.

    Scola/Patterson/Hill/Thabeet/Motiejunas/Morris

    Being a legit 7'2" and going up against 6'8" posts in college can make a player look pretty righteous.

    This thread is all about finding a center/power forward. Getting rid of Juwan Howard was probably the biggest error in the last 5 years of Blazer history.
