FEAR NOT! The solution to the backup center problem has been found!

hmm, so let me get this straight.

You want us to acquire a SF/PF(barely) who bears quite the resemblance to a lightpole to bang down low with the big boys?

Id rather use Chuck Hayes or even god forbid Brian Cook for a backup center before we bring in that over-rated bust.

 

I think "God Forbid" has officially become a part of Mr. Cook's name.

"A 6'9'' Center from Illinois, Number 43, God Forbid Brian Cook"

 

Pops?

 

Nice!

 

We really cannot have enough Asian big men.

 

If no one in this league gave him a chance yet then he isn't worth it. This game is changing from tall centers to smaller more athletic centers. That is the kind of guy we need backing up Yao. Someone with some size but can run and block\contest shots in the paint.

 

I know that's what we keep hearing, but look at this year's NBA finalists.

 

Why don't we just get two midgets from the circus to balance one another on their shoulders and thrown a uniform on them. We can sign the two of them to one contract!

 

lol...

 

How about this guy????




He will be a free agent at the end of the year.

He is tall, high energy, athletic, young, efficient, block shoots and rebound. Solid backup

 

I like him either.
But he is going to expensive. Let us see if we can get him and how much we need to pay. Big men with either good stats or potential could worth more than 10M/y.
Some fans think even Yao worth more than 9M/year.

 

lol me 2

 

that's a good one lol~

 

I'd use a late 2nd rounder on him...

 

Getting the Birdman is possible but unlikely:

"Here's where it hurts the Nuggets -- despite all last year's cutting, they're likely going to be several million dollars over the luxury-tax threshold unless they trim even more. Because their player contracts have built-in raises but the salary cap is expected to go down next season, they're caught in the whipsaw.

Denver will be nearly at the tax line with the contracts of just six players -- Billups, Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith, Kenyon Martin, Steven Hunter, and Nene (who broke his arm in the fourth quarter of Game 6, by the way). Add in the $3 million on the books as part of Antonio McDyess' buyout and the smaller contracts of Sonny Weems and Renaldo Balkman, and they're already at $69 million -- with the luxury-tax threshold expected to fall between $69 and $71 million next year. And things get even worse a year later, when the tax level may drop again while the salaries of the Nuggets' core players once again rise.

All of that is before they attempt to re-sign Chris Andersen, Linas Kleiza, Dahntay Jones, or Anthony Carter, or add any additional players, or draft anybody.

"We want everybody back, we want our same team," Anthony said. But it's going to be extremely difficult for the Nuggets to have that.

Denver's biggest priority is bringing back Andersen, the high-flying shot-blocker who returned to the Nuggets as a fan favorite and energized the second unit. The Nuggets are hoping to sell their lone draft pick, at No. 34, and use the money to keep Andersen. Denver also will probably trade the future first-round pick it owns (via Charlotte) to any team willing to take Hunter off its hands, opening up some more wiggle room."

Unless the owner busts out his checkbook.
