Anyone else think he could be a good guy for us at backup pf next season (draft best PG available also).

Yeah I was thinking he would be perfect next to Dwight actually.
No way Dallas lets him go now though, they have to realize the potential with this guy.

Please God no, we don't need an undersized guy at PF. Need a legit 6'10" man.

the undersized PF is making a come back my friend...Bass would be a great fit, but good luck, even with the limited salary protection this guy aint going nowheres...

there isn't really any other option this offseason but undersized (6'8'' and 6'7'') powerforwards. ultimately its if you play big around the basket that matters.

i hate when people say that someone is undersized he is not any good. he is young and is ten times better than foyle. and he is what 6 foot 7/8 and he can jump. look at foyle looks like be barely moves. and with basses jumping ability he makes up for 2 inches. omg 2 inches shorter. nope he sucks now. omg if u can jump u make up for it

I didn't say he sucks, but if you're going to sign a PF he needs to be as tall and wider than Rashard/Hedo, otherwise it defeats the purpose.

the unrestricted powerforward market this offseason is extremely limited. Brandon Bass would be nice, but i don't think it is an option. To steal him from the mavs it would require at least the entire MLE, which is a risky move. However we have no clue on the magics plans this offseason. Is hedo moving to the SG position to eliminate our need for a SG? Do they think battie is enough? Will they stick with rashard at PF? Do they even want to spend the entire MLE? Will Vasquez come over? And Who will they draft? the list goes on. All these questions must be determined to have any idea on what we are doing.

I would love to. He's not afraid to bang, he can hit the mid-range jumpshot and is a good rebounder : everything we need.
During the Magic-Mavs game in Februari, he just owned Dwight.

He may want to leave the West afte the beatdown Shaq put on him in that Mavs - Suns game. I dont think its possible that Mavs will let him walk either though.
Besides, isn't this draft stocked full of Centers and PF's?
