I think it's on the fact that good centers don't grow on trees, man. Who do you want starting over Chuck? Every player worth mentioning is either unattainable, demands a ridiculous amount of money or comes at the price of gutting the team. Just focus on what you can control: The coaches have to develop Thabeet and Hill. You have all the tools you want in a center in those two guys. That's what McHale's for. The only onus on Morey is to keep looking for prospect bigs for development via the draft/overseas, and of course, be active/available in the event we have a potential play via trade market. I, for one, am glad he's not overpaying for the Dalembert's of the league or putting all his eggs in one basket right now... we're just too far away from contention for that.
Dalembert actually is a pretty good center, not great but better than what we have now seeing how Chuck is a good but undersized 4 and all. If you're waiting on Thabeet & Hill you'll be waiting a while my friend. I've grown kind of weary of some posters blindly defending Morey no matter what. I like Daryl, he's done some good things but how much rope does he have? Rox unable to acquire a star player. Well it's not Morey's fault, there's not a lot of them available. Rox unable to acquire a center over 6'6. Well it's not Morey's fault, there's not a lot of them available. Rox unable to execute a trade to move up in the draft. Well it's not Morey's fault, there's not a lot of them available. We all know an NBA GM's job isn't easy but where does it stop? All I'm saying if this organization has the stones to get rid of established coaches like Van Gundy & Adelman then when does begin to hold (1st time GM) Morey's feet to the fire to get what the team has been lacking for years?
I'm a huge fan of Bogut. I think his injury is behind him. That being said, pretty sure Bucks wouldn't trade Bogut for anything we'd give them. Would you????
Well plenty of Bucks fans have been talking on their forums about getting rid of Bogut with a salary dump of a bad contract in exchange for youngsters and picks. So it may seem viable.
