Including Hakeem, what free agent centers remain that we could get our hands on? These's Hakeem....umm....well...umm... Sabonis...umm I dont mean fake centers either.. someone with height and bulk who can be a presence in the middle... ------------------ "Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." - George W.
There is Marc Jackson and Narz Mohammed is going to resign with the Hawks. I think we should stay with the bums as center.And wait next yearuntil the real ballers come out. ------------------
Pig Miller's cheaper...and less injury prone. ------------------ President of the CC.net Realist Club, everyone needs a dose of reality once in a while...
Calvin Booth An active player on defense that can disrupt an offense by blocking shots and tipping passes. Could be a good zone center. Foul prone...but with Olajuwon, Cato, and Collier this won't be a problem. Third world offense. Rebounding is good for a shotblocker, or average, maybe slightly below average, for a non shotblocker. Man to man defense could use some work, but I haven't seen him since he was a bench warming wizard. Anyone see him in the Dallas-Spurs series? ------------------
I wouldn't mind Calvin Booth, he is an explosive shotblocker, and would be a nice addition if gotten cheap! ------------------ "Instruments are like women: After a while, you want to make love to another." - Nicolas Godin of the musical duo Air
If we don't end up with any FA center the worst posibility is that we could sign Axel Dench which isn't bad. He is a real center not a PF playing center, has a consistent outside shot(3pt Range Included,RT loves that), can set screens(some mean ones too), and has a big body(7ft,looks at least 270lb). Just my opinion, of course I would love to sign Marc Jackson and definitely get back Dream. ------------------
LA#1 - You beat me to it. If Dream goes, I would not be surprised to see Dench with a one year deal and a team option for year 2. Anybody know what became of Pig Miller? ------------------ Raef to Rocks in '01-'02!
Corliss Williamson has been renounced by the Pistons.....hmmmmmmm.....he'd be a good backup. ------------------ My doctor says I am bipolar. I am going to get a second opinion. I have never had intimate desires for polar bears.
I really don't think Axel is a very good option. He struggled to guard centers in Australia at times - he looks slow laterally and he's pretty foul prone as a result. Offensively he's everything we need, but I'm not sure what sort of defensive option he is..... (probably only about 240lbs too) ------------------
His parents were cousins ------------------ [This message has been edited by DrNuegebauer (edited July 19, 2001).]
HOOP-T, if your want the Rockets to sign Corliss as a backup center you can forget it he's only 6'7. Altough I wouldn't mind having him back up Mo at the 4. But KT's salary will be far less than what it would take to sign Williamson. ------------------
i thought corliss was a sf ------------------ What is the difference between Kelvin Cato and Macey Gray?? Macey has bigger hair
Big Nasty is a SF who can score in the paint and rebound. Really he would have been a great addition, before we added 2 more small forwards in Griffin and T-Mo. Now we've got bigger areas of need. ------------------ I'm so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip that I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.
