    Just to clarify the above. The blame should be mostly placed on Aldeman, going back to David Andersen. I think there is some evidence that Morey much prefers two-way players while Aldeman puts a premium on guys who are fairly good offensively. Neverthless, Morey is the GM, and if he doesn't put his foot down, then he must share some of the blame.

    I say no thanks. Loved him when he was here but Jordan Hill can give us similar production with size, Chuck Hayes is by far a better defender and Scola>>>> Landry all around at the 4. He is a great teammate and I wish him well. I think he has a place in this league and is a legit starter. Just not for our team.

    WHAT are you smokeing!! :eek: ......Hill is not better than Landry .....period.The guy lead to team in 4th quarter points scored OFF THE BENCH when he was here!!! What are you talking about,he would be a vast upgrade over hill. I dont see them trading hill anyways but playing Hill with Landry if they so choose to get him......IT IS WRITTEN.

    I would love to have Landry back, he does some dirty work, plays real well in the system and takes care of a big issue we don't have...a closer. We could always rely on Landry to get baskets when we were in a shooting slump, and to close out games...send away Jeffries.

    Not saying Hill is better right now but if you look at their numbers...they're remarkably close. Landry being the better scorer is only averaging 5 more ppg in about 10 more min of play. Rebounding is even and again Landry is playing 10 more mpg and defensively Hill is already better even with his defensive lapses. Landry has regressed badly, so you'd be banking on a change of scenery would energize him again but even then Jordan is probably the better longer term solution.

    Morey's job is to get players and we have too many one way players.

    How does Morey prefer two-way players while he was picking up so damn many one way players?

    No solid evidence, just speculation, but I think it is a pretty good assumption that players such as Brad Miller and David Andersen were Aldeman's choices. There was an interview to a radio station posted recently where Morey was said to prefer two-way players.

    You are a misguided soul. But I think you are mostly harmless.
