    Agree with Yao on getting big. Dunno whywe like hyping up some PG or SF when the west is stacked up at 6-10 and up on the PF positions. We need to look for bangers as a priority. We need players that can punish opponents like Boozer, Nowitzki, and Stoudemire. The less Yao has to bang, the more energy he can spare on clutch situations and the less wear on his body.

    Im not worried about our frontcourt. With Yao healthy we are golden. Of course if you lose your all star center there are gonna be issues.

    My concern is our backup pointguards and shooting guards. We need another long athletic player for our 2 and another guard that can reliably run the offense for the 1.

    Even without that, the Rox are fine. Injuries are the real major problem.

    WTH? Dude...he's 6'8" rofl...and thats still pretty great for a guard, in the NBA they actually list you higher than you really are so he might be shorter than that

    That was my impression, since everyone saw the Jazz get unlimited offensive rebounds over our 'bigs'... keying their first quarter runs. A back-up Center that RA can play during the season would be great, instead of going small when Yao sits. Scola and Landry are serviceable, but Hayes needs to be replaced or needs some high heels.
