As far as rebounding is concerned, David Lee's rebounds are fool's gold. He's a stat padder and does not box out.
The player that would fit in despite the poor D is Z-Bo, but we all know that's not happening.
We would have to find a young player who needs a change of scenery and develop him if we want a replacement for Amare.
nobody's defense is worse than amare. even dave the doorman

No. Try again. The only thing David Lee has over Amare is rebounding. On D, Amare can have a good defensive play or two in a game. Then he'll forget how to play D for most of the game. David Lee? None.

This team has been together for 7 games, and they've won six of them.
What is this fascination with tinkering? Why not give these guys 20 games and see where they are at that point before dealing out guys?
This board assumes that Stat is not going to work out, but you're willing to take a flyer on guys like Lee and Harrington - whose faults we're all familiar with already.
What if we bring them in and they don't work with this team?

So is Kevin Love a great defender? Was Z-Bo a good defender in Portland? Was Melo the best defensive SF in the NBA when he led the position in rebounding?
Rebounding caps a defensive posession, but it doesn't make the rebounder a good defender. It just makes him a good rebounder.

Didn't you know? EVERYONE knows Amare won't play defense or rebound based on his extensive play so far this year
