    Dude, can you post something with a human language? If you can not, just stop reading my post. You just look like a dude who is smoking lots.

    Exactly. But the problem is that, with Dwight out, someone is forced to pretend to be a center. This isn't a knock on D-Mo. But it is a problem that our team is facing with Dwight out.

    Marc J. Spears: Ten teams, mostly playoff contenders, have already expressed interest in free agent to be center JaVale McGee, a source told Yahoo Sports. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo

    Really want to see Rockets give Capela another shot. I hold my breath everytime he gets the ball in a pick and roll or they try to post him up. I am usually Mr. Optimist but I feel all the positive energy drain from me when Dorsey handles the ball at anytime.

    Well, he seems to be not bad at all, so many teams express interest in him. Any big man with some skills is not easy to be forgotten.

    does that mean dallas is on his list or no?

    again, would take over dorsey 10/10...

    gives us length to match up against deandre, enes, bogut, gasol, aldridge...

    we can't make the guarantee that dwight is coming back 100% healthy or even if he does comeback..what if he faces a setback?

    this would be a safe, low risk move...and I think McHale can get him headed in the right direction

    McGee is one player I'm really on the fence about. Is our coaches disciplined enough to keep him from doing his crazy shenanigans during games? I was one of the minorities that thought Josh Smith was going to be a bad fit, boy was I wrong. I mean, every now and then, he would do something that'll make me cringe but for the most part, he's a fantastic signing. So if McGee can tone it down, I'd think he get decent playing time here and his length can give some Bigs some trouble. Trusting Morey on this.

    I don't want him, but I don't want any conference rivals to get him either, in case it works out for them. Keep him in the east. Cavs, Bulls, Heat can have him.

    Screw the Mavs. The Mavs are just a broke Clippers. As long as JaVale doesn't go to Dallas, I won't be upset. Yes, I'm still a little hurt that Amare chose Dallas over the Clippers even though the Clippers have a better core......

    All I can say is that I really hope we play the Mavs in the playoffs this year.

    Javale isnt represented by Fegan, so its nowhere near as likely

    Ric Bucher: Ten teams have contacted his reps. Plan is to have those 10 teams make their pitch in LA either by phone or in person. Most are playoff squads. If that's their pitch, they won't get far. The interest is in finding a home where he can be developed personally and professionally.

    Toronto
    Miami(the stable atmosphere he is looking for but also have Whiteside so there may be duplication)
    Clippers
    Warriors
    Rockets

    among the 10 teams.

    The warning to those teams: Don't talk about him being the missing piece, that he'll lead to a championship. Talk about what you'll do for him over the 2nd half of his career.
