Foye's Last Ten Games

[Zeitgeister]

Whether Al is a c or PF the defensive anchor myth would still be there.

BTW, who was the defensive anchor on Jordan's teams?

Jordan's teams had:

1. Horace Grant/Dennis Rodman
2. Probably the best perimeter defense in history (highly unlikely that we ever have a perimeter defense that stellar)
3. Had a player that can go off for 50 points anytime he wanted to

Jordan's teams are the ultimate anomaly in comparison to other championship teams.

Ha..arbitrary question? My point is that we cannot just be blaming the defensive problems on the fact that Al Jefferson is not 7ft tall. That our defensive problems are from the 1-3 spot. Jordan's teams defensively were built on the "doberman" defense of pippen, jordan and harper. Al and Love need to improve, but so does Randy, Corey and whoever our other starter will be.

You honestly don't think there are any defensive problems at the 4 or 5? Al Jefferson does not put in the effort defensively at all, he often times looks like he couldn't care less. Even IF he did care, a Love/Jefferson front court wouldn't be anything more then above average, IMO. They just don't have the instincts, or physical tools to be dominant.

Look at a team like Boston, look where they were defensively the year before the had Garnett to the year he joined the team. They had the same coach, (even the same Al Jefferson we have now) I doubt there was a defensive system implemented, it had to do with Kevin Garnett more then anything. As a leader, as a man to man defender, help defender he had the tools to help make that defense dominant. Of course, there were other players that stepped it up that normally weren't known for their defense and really helped, but Garnett anchored that defense, there is no question.

hey, i've been dreaming about trading for Gerald Wallace to help our perimeter defense for some time now. but the possibility of these dreams coming to fruition are slim to none.

my idea would be:

pg Jrue
sg Foye
sf Wallace
pf Al
c Aldrich-- if he pans out

of course, love would be the first off the bench. at times we would have jrue, brew, and wallace on the court at the same time.... obviously if Harden were available with the first pick it would be hard to pass him up.

I think an offseason that left us with Holiday/Foye/Williams/Love/Jefferson at the beginning of next season would be a success. We are at about the 6th spot right now, and i think at the end of the season we end up with the 4-8 range pick. I doubt Harden is around then.

Holiday/Bassy
Foye/Turner
Williams/Brew/Gomes
Love/Craigers
Jefferson/---

Barring any major deals, thats a pretty solid team. Id like to get a vet C and somehow move any combination of Craigers/Gomes/Bassy/UTH 1st/BOS 1st for a higher pick, parts and cap savings.

i have the solution to the problem with miami's pick draft Patrick Mills he is a natural point and will still be available when we have miamis pick

i just dont agree that Mills is a natural pg ,he looks to score of nearly every play and only avg around 3.5 apg and barley shoots 40%
imo hes more of a impact type ofthe bench than a starting pg ,he could make it and i would love him of the bench if we actually had a good pg
