    They don't have to impress anyone but the fact that the guy has the ability to block shots and seems to have the timing is a big key compared a ton of other big men in the league. He has the basic tools to succeed.

    Dwight Howard is a beast. Omer Asik isn't.

    Thibodeux is probably high on Asik. If Thibodeux likes him (defensively), definitely need to give him a look.

    Please don't compare this guy to Swift. Swift was clearly had no BB IQ and overpaid. This guy would not be expected to be THE MAN. He is a serviceable guy that can block shots.

    THANK GOD. dealing with the Bulls is a no-win situation. I'm glad we are keeping Lee. He will be more valuable this time next year, but i want to make him a Rocket for the long-term.

    very good news

    I'm so anxious and nervous right now. Hell I'll take Thabeet if thats all we do. That's our glaring weakness right now. We need someone to defend the rim like Deke used to do. Those were fun days.

    Yes, I asked this late last night in another thread. I wouldn't be opposed to it.

    We also need to teach Thabeet to finger wag like Deke used to do after a blocked shot. :)

    That is good news. Some deals are good and some are bad. Right now nothing Chicago is talking about sounds good. It doesnt have Arik it doesnt make sense. Chicagos crummy draft pick is worthless. We do not want Bogans back. They are rediculous.
