The ability to do 23/10 every night is not "mentally tough"? wOw~

Ronny Turiaf would ahve been an ideal candidate for us the past summer.

I remember a tonne of people on the board saying how it was crazy for GS to give him such a deal, when we could have Hump instead.

Etan Thomas would be nice, if he can stay healthy and is an expiring deal. Given that Haywood and THomas hate each other, maybe we could trade for one off the Wizs.

I think you were too hard on Bargs and to generous with Bosh... if Bosh really had a MT of 10 wouldn't you think that would have translated to the rest of the team. JO was a 10 not Bosh more like a 6-7.

I think you guys should get Leon Powe in the offseason.

I think the OP put a " - " before the 10 didn't they?

A tough guy that plays a team game, moves well without the ball and is a willing passer would be more valuable to this team that a guy who dominates the ball off the dribble IMO. Passing is a much more efficient way of putting pressure on the defense and it involves everyone in the offense more.

toughness can come from a credible coach that demands respect.

Marion is a step in the right direction. Bargnani is improving. Bosh is what he is. Ditto Calderon. The improvement needs to come at the SG spot if they indeed resign Marion. That and a high energy banger off the bench.

In the past they would always have one wimp coming in replacing a the wimp already out there. Yes indeed there are players out there who will run the floor on offense, crash the offensive boards, slash to the basket and hustle back on defense.

There are also plenty of energy guys who will come in and hammer away and hit the boards on both ends.

One softie out and another in is what they have to cure.
