Which backup center do you make the trade for?

I saw no love for FA Kyrylo Fesenko or the Clips' DeAndre Jordan. They would be cheap to acquire, and they are young, athletic, tall and strong.

 

DeAndre Jordan is actually not a bad suggestion. One unfortunate thing about signing a backup center on this team is that you need to also be comfortable with him starting, because Yao's health is such a mystery.

 

Acquiring Jordan would be pretty sweet. He's all those characteristics you mentioned. He's also a pretty darn good free throw shooter.

According to Alexis Ajinca's agent Charlotte is trying to trade the seven footer.

I wouldn't mind a look at this guy if the price is reasonable.

 

I think Tyson could be a good fit, but the trade seem died in the last few days.

 

I would love to add Gortat or Chandler but it would depend on how much they want for them. I wouldn't give up any major assets to get them Hill or Patterson and maybe one of our picks (not the knicks)

Emeka Okafor would be perfect, but he just makes too much money for his production.

Pryzbilla's injury seems to be a major one, so I don't think he's an option

 

Clips think highly of DeAndre Jordan. Kid has worlds of potential. There is no way they would let him go easy.

 

I was wondering if we had Shaq and Yao play at the same time.
Run a 2-3 with shaq and yao at the post similar to Sampson and Hakeem

 

Tyson Chandler or Brad Miller, would be best case scenarios, both could instantly be impactful starters in case Yao is not ready to go.

Biedrins is a good fit, but he might be expensive, so is Okafor.

Not sure about Fasenko and Jordan, but if they could be acquired for very little, they'd be good investments, not too risky.

Shaq would actually be a good fit for the Rockets, if Yao Ming was injured or temporarily down. He might be liability on defense, but offensively (though not to Adelman's strategy, he fits with other players very well. Kevin Martin, Ariza, and Brooks would see their effectiveness exponentially increase, as Scola or Hill would be ideal clean up men next to Shaq. Scola's outside shooting and diverse offense or Hill's athleticism and energy would make a formidable matchup. I even think Hayes would do well (even more so around) Shaq, than possibly Yao. If the 93-05 version of Shaq were playing for the Rockets last year, or this upcoming season (let's if Yao was injured or something). The Rockets would be d#mn near unstoppable, right now.

The Orlando or early LA version of Shaq teaming up with deadly shooters Kevin Martin and Aaron Brooks (who is also speedster).

 

I change my vote to Andris Biedrins. :grin:
