    Doesn't all this look like a huge pack of nothing compared to a strong PF? I can sense the smile of someone who's been fed up with chips...

    If Haslem and Foster are not available, I'd think the following two guys are fallback options:

    I like Gadzuric better than Evans, very athletic and can finish with dunks around the basket - similar to a Keon Clark... He can play back-up C for a quicker line-up... The Bucks might want to trade him to convince Yi that there are a lot of free minutes for him

    Generally the rule is foreign players are listed barefoot and American players in shoes.

    I haven't seen much of Gadzuric,can he rebound consistently if he gets minutes?.Can he defend anyone in the paint or out on the perimeter?.Does he have good shot blocking ability? Can he keep out of foul trouble? What is his fitness level like? I have heard that he is injured currently. Will he able to fit in the team with Scola getting a lot of minutes?

    Is he a fan of Harry Potter, does he like Twisslers or Red Vines, what is his current dating status?

    Cool it on the questions. He is a good defender and an adequate rebounder if he wants to be. He is not much of shot blocker but if put at center he could be. He does not foul much. He is fairly athletic but not a freak by any stretch. I do not know about his injury status. It concerns me that he plays a more center stlye game and does not really play up to the competition when he plays the Power Forward. I would highly doubt him as an option since the Bucks just re-uped Mo-Will for big money. And probably will not be looking for a 5mil per year back up.

    Well, We all come from different background and have different personality. As for me, I am a sole believer of if someone slap me on the face, I would just slap back, if someone insult me, I would just insult back. It just as simple as that.

    I am also a fair person, if you insult me once, I would just insult back once: "So STFU *******, stop that 8 year old crap".. Hopefully you could just leave those personal attacks out of a basketball discussion.

    And for your 2nd part, you could just go back to read those posts..

    Hahah ha ha ha!! I remember that incident or two. Evans does squeeze nuts. Hopefully, he doesn't do it to his teammates in practice.

    Absolutely. Haslem is a legitimate starting power forward. Hayes is a good energy guy to bring off the bench. Hayes is really an offensive liability. IF he is a better defender than Haslem (and I don't think he is) he is not so much better to make up for his terrible offense. Haslem for Alston and others we are going to have to move anyway would be a steal. We only have 15 spots, we have to move multiple players.

    Another knock on Hayes is his foul a minute play.

    I agree with a lot of what you say. But I think Hayes foul troubles stem from JVG giving Hayes the green light to play completely reckless hard nosed defense. Its something I am certain he could control. But with Howard looking to play 25mpg Hayes was free to go all out.

    no matter what we needed another body there to play the PF beside scola, and hayes. I don't think landry would be able to contribute this year, and more than likely he will be on the bench.

    Like Pg where it will split between SF and James with little PT for AB. PF will be split half between scola and hayes, and that's trouble for us. we need a veteran at the 4.

    Especially, he was facing Duncan with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. And even Duncan got only 10points, 6 rebounds and 0 blocks in 20 min.

    Good point. If we could Haslem or other true pf and still sign Hayes, he could still be useful for a few minutes of brutal defense or hach a whoever. Why or why didn't we play hack a boozer, with Jake, Deke, howard, and hayes?

    Because Boozer is a good free throw shooter. Same reason you dont hack a Yao. He would kill you from the line.
