Weren't we looking at another big? (Center)

[mike3]

I thought we were going to go after another center, or is that wrong? i seem to remember hearing something like that.

Or is Cook classified as a Center? i didn't think so.

I think we, the fans, want another big guy. But I don't know if the FO mentioned anything about it. Although it's just stupid as hell to go into the season with only 2 legit centers.

Guys like Rhino and I guess Cook can play very limited minutes depending on the matchup, but you sure as hell don't want to rely on them constantly.

I was thinking the same thing, we need another big man. I really think we need a 4/5 big guy, some one like Josh Boone. At this point we only have the undersized Craig Smith to bacup Griff. If Kamen were to go down for a few games, and DJ started, who'll back him up? I really don't want to call a guy who's a weak rebounder and shoots 3's a PF (Brian Cook), but since he's on the team, I hope he finds a niche. I see Boone as a "Noah-lite" type of player, and he's still a young guy who'll not mind if he doesn't get minutes. There are some other big guys out there as well.

We definitely need a third center, especially since Kaman is injury-prone, and DJ is still fairly inexperienced. I would actually go after Dampier to get another solid veteran on the team.

We were supposed to be looking for another big. Training camp is about a week away, so there's a chance that a few are invited to camp. I don't really think that we're an option for Dampier. Sure, we could offer him more money than many teams, but he has contenders and playoff teams that want him. I really don't think that we're going to bring in somebody that's going to steal many minutes from DJ, but I'm OK with that. I just want a legit big as insurance.

Yeh thats true, if Kaman goes down with a serious injury, or even for a few games. DJ will get a load of minutes, and we won't have anyone cept for Cook to back him up..... no thanks lol

Last I heard we were supposed to be looking for a big man at some big man camp in Vegas or something, but that was well over a month ago. Going after Dampier would be wise IMO if we are serious about making a playoff push. We need more insurance up front than just Deandre.

My guess is now we are just gonna invite free agents to training camp

[mkwest]

Not too many guys left. The Cavs were looking at Chris Hunter, Earl Barron & Kyrylo Fesenko the other day. Hunter and Barron were in for a workout with them. I'd love to hear that we had a couple guys in for a workout.

Where's Paul Davis? did he resign with the Bullets?

Where's Paul Davis? did he resign with the Bullets?

Please no Paul Davis.

Why haven't we shown any interest in Dampier? He's a perfect fit.
