Biedrins is overrated because he plays that style. On any other team, he would score 6 points and grab 9 rebounds. He's a horrendous shooter, can't hit free throws, and even if he does volume rebound, his stats are so high because he's usually the only true big on the court EVER for the W's. Lopez can easily match his defensive abilities, and he's way more athletic and easily already a better shot blocker. He needs PT, that's all. We should trade Wallace for a TPE (to Denver maybe, for Klieza S&T + 9mil TPE), we'll throw in 2 future seconds if they want. This would allow Lopez time to develop, and we'd have a very talented starting lineup.
Amar'e/Lopez/Amundson
Clark/Amundson/Dudley
Klieza/Dudley/Tucker
JRich/Barbosa/Tucker
Nash/Dragic/Barbosa
Complete run & gun dominance, basically. Lopez/Amare/Clark/JRich/Nash could also work

Biedrins over the last 4 yr is #1 in FG % in the NBA. Not bad for a "horrendous shooter" GSW has never wanted or needed him to shoot from deep. I saw Ro-Lo in college,often,and he's a decent backup but NOT as athletic as Biedrins or as good at anything.
You can not combine Kleiza and a TPE. Not legal Would make no sense for Denver if they COULD do it.
I guess if Biedrins had teammates competing for RBDs...he would get a few less...but he did board well back when Murphy was around and grabbing 10+.
Clark has talent. None of his various skills are yet polished to the point you can depend on them.
He is not A Randolph....AR has more quickness and an uncanny ability to stretch out even longer.
If Clark gets Randolph's motor...then there's a real similarity.
I too hope the GSW/Suns Amare deal is dead.
I prefer Biedrins at WAY less $ ..to Amare. GSW giving B Wright as mere filler is what makes it a no-win for GSW.
CENSORED... No comment.
