    That paint would really be protected down there for us. Opposing offenses beware.

    Im not trying to troll anyone. They didnt make it to the conference finals. Biedrins doest influence the game enough for 9 mil.

    McGee was a mistake. Martin is an expiring contract. Ginbobli is a really good player who plays alot more than asik would

    Considering both Memphis and Indy got into conference finals just by having two top flight bigs and being able to wear down smaller teams I think you're right.

    Jalen said that James would have been moved a while before he actually did and he ended up in Houston so I take what he says seriously. He knows what is up with all the inner workings of the NBA.

    Does Jalen have true insider info? Was he the person who called the Harden trade before the season?

    Jalen is a retired player with friends around the NBA...if you think he is not in the LOOP...you are fooling yourself! I take what he says for truth more than any beat writer. Players talk to players before the media...

    Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph agree that we should not trade Asik if we get Howard.

    So Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

    And some guys named Akeem and Ralph.

    While I do believe starting two 7 foot big men centers can work as you pointed out. I just dont think Asik and Howard in particular would work out offensively.

    Neither have shown they can shoot from beyond five feet from the rim. Asik needs to be able to adapt to shooting from mid range in order for Asik n Howard tandem to work.

    Otherwise, opposing defenses would clog the paint

    Now your just being silly..Ginobli averaged 23 minutes per game...and if you don't think asik will get at least that your crazy.

    Asik will still get 25-30 min per game. Back up Center and then playing with Howard as well.

    They will probably start and finish games with Howard at the 4 and asik at the 5.

    Asik would be our 3rd-5th best player regardless of what his title/role is.

    He is more then worth the money for that.

    Id rather pay him 8 million then Paul Milsap 11 million for less production just because his a PF.

    It's true that Jalen Rose knew Harden was going to get traded two weeks before it was announced in the media. But he never said he was going to the rockets.

    Right now, he's saying theres a 55% chance hes going to houston. He says he thinks he's going to houston. It's just his opinion. He doesnt know for a fact where Dwight is going.

    We know that. That's why the title of this thread says, "Jalen Rose thinks..."

    Yes, I know, but alot of posters here are taking Jalen Rose's opinion as fact.
