If they trade Joel for Shane, who is gonna play center for them for the 25 minutes they need because greg oden can't stop fouling?
I must have misunderstood you. Jeff Foster may be expendable for the Pacers looking at the way Roy Hibbert is play this season. Though I will disagree with Morey in stating that Yao is the first option. His second foot injury is worse than the first. There comes a time when such injuries force players to retire like when Aikman was told he could not take another concusion. However, Yao's injuries are not life threatening. If the Rockets continue to lose games my patience may run out with the Yao Ming first option. my two cents.
I am trying to figure out why Joel Przybilla would want any of us to "do Battier" for him and why, unless any of us is already inclined to "do Battier," we would agree to "do Battier" for Przybilla?
is that lamarcus' brother? Can't be Lamarcus himself since he'll be busy playing PF, since portland also doesnt have depth there.
Yes, we need a center. Even when Yao comes back we need a backup center in the worst way to keep the minutes off of Yao.
Andersen? We need to hold off on all the trade talks until the off season begins. T-Mac and Cook will come off the books, and I have a feeling Scola will sign elsewhere for big money. This clears about $30 mil off the books. We can use $20 of that to sign Bosh. This gives us a mean frontcourt that can block shots and rebound. Brooks/Lowry Ariza/Budinger Battier/??? Bosh/Landry Yao/Andersen/Hayes
If you watch the games you would realize joel is a good defender except against yao. Playing a team like the lakers or any team with size really exposes us.
