    I watched him on NBA2Night last night---looks like a GREAT PICKUP!

    I can't wait till the young guys grow up and into their roles. The NBA will be a low-post battle ground in the post Shaq era...

    Jermaine O'neal in Indy
    Tyke and Curry in Chicago
    Brand in LA (will he stay?)
    Kwame in Washington
    E.G there in Houston


    I looked at him and tried to figure out which position he'd be best fit for. At 6'10, or 6'11---make him a center and go get one of your dime a dozen PF's (Fizer?) who can rebound and score when he's double teamed. Lock him in the weight room and stuff him full of Zo tapes that show him that height needn't be an disadvantage.

    It would be a crime to bounce him between two spots.

    In my mind, and I don't often go out on a limb like this, Tyson is a can't miss superstar. I won't say can't miss about Eddy, but I believe he'll be at least the equivalent of Brand. It's only twice a year---but we've got probably 12 years of good matchups coming --- and hopefully some finals matchups between us.

    I look forward to it.

    Tyson is a can't miss superstar and EDDIE, not Eddy, isn't?

    Please.

    Tyson Chandler is a cry baby.

    LMAO

    Tyson Chandler a can't miss superstar?!? You must be joking. He's a 7 footer with no post game, a weak handle, no bulk, terrible rebounding skills and a shoddy jumper but he likes to play on the perimeter. Curry stands a much better chance of being a star, IMO. He has all the physical gifts.

    I would've taken Gasol over Chandler anyday. Why? Post game, desire to rebound the ball, a decent J, reasonable handle and pro-ball experience.

    Chandler has none of that.

    coma, I believe he was talking about Eddy Curry, not Griff.

    I think he meant Eddy Curry, not Eddie Griffin.

    GB,

    We'd be glad to take Curry off your hands if you want us to, since you don't see him as a can't miss superstar. How about Curry/Fizer for Cato, or Curry/Fizer for Willis/KT/Collier, or Curry/Fizer for Moochie/KT/Langhi, or Curry/Fizer for Walt. We'll even throw in the draft picks you guys owe us for the Drew trade. Just take your pick of those trades & let us know which one you want. :D :p :D :p
