    lebron and lance seemed to get along just fine last year

    You'd hope. Or is this where LeGm would finally appear and him ask for Melo instead being as how he has gotten into seemingly good shape? Bron's gotta know bigger is better here if talents are in the same zip code.

    Yikes... we are in center starvation territory if the list we are choosing from include Dwight, Noah, Gortat and Thabeet.

    Considering how desperate we are to get some serviceable centers, I can’t believe Andrew Bynum hasn’t been floated out there yet.

    Selected by Chris Wallace. Other bright moves by Chris include trading us a prime Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and 25k worth of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons.

    And cap space used to sign prime zbo, forming the core of their best team in franchise history.

    But thabeet was a ridiculously bad pick.

    @ the time Marc was an unknown Chris was roundly considered that he'd been taken. Ask Pop if he thought they'd done alright.

    Faried working with Lethal Shooter. I’ve always liked his motor. Give this guy a shot!

    Ask Pop what he'd say today tho.

    but hey, we're talking about Hasheem Thabeet lol

    this is hilarious, and extremely sad. We just pulled off major moves, but we really do have limited options to fill a desperate need due to injury.

    I'll just trust our basketball people to make the right decision, but it seems none of us are too thrilled with our current choices.

    some clips are just hard to get excited by.

    I see a souped down Brian Grant and remember him bouncing off of Shaq's elbows. Not a fun of undersized centers. Useful during the regular season, but exposed in the playoffs.

    marc was like a 21-year old spanish league mvp. fans and media didn't know him, but scouts certainly did. i assume the grizzlies knew he was a better prospect than his draft position, much moreso than espn did.

    i agree that all the choices are pretty bad, but that's what happens at this stage of the offseason. i think faried, noah, and howard are all capable of giving us the 12 minutes or so per game we'd need until another option presents itself via trade or cut later in the season.

    Understood but there aren't any Shaq types in the league at present. Maybe Embiid and Jokic... but neither have the strength of Shaq. I just think there needs to be several bigs... three to be exact for a good rotation because I'm afraid of McGee getting hurt. Plus, Faried can play both the 4 and 5. Just worried about depth. I was worried before Boogie's latest setback!
