Last move - Adonal Foyle 

Post#1 » by armageddon » Mon Mar 2, 2009 5:57 am

We still haven't really found a backup center. Yes Davis and Moore can provide minutes there but if we lose Perk (shoulder or fouls) we need a true sized center.

I'm reading that Memphis may buy out Foyle. This would be a very good backup to Perk. Waive Pruitt and bring on Foyle.

He'd just be the 15th player. With the addition of Marbury, Pruitt has no value to the team anymore. I'd rather see a true center on the bench. At least he can provide a big practice body.

Considering that Mikey Moore just arrived, and I was never a fan of his play, I"m not sad that Danny picked him up. He has the motor and intensity but just not the body. I think he could feed off of playing along side Garnett. He hasn't played that poorly at all. In two weeks this team will look a lot different. Hopefully with Garnet in the SL.

I wouldn't mind Foyle. He would be useful when we need both length and bulk. Moore only provides one of those. I think Moore would get pushed around in the post. But we still haven't solved the backup SF problem. Pierce is getting run into the ground.

Why in blue hell would you won't Foyle? He's a career 4 pt scorer whose averages are down.

Stats don't matter in this situation. PJ Brown averaged only 2 pts with us. Foyle would only be a situational player when the C's need strength and length.

Yeah, but at least PJ was once really good and played a vital role on playoff teams in the past. Every team that gets Foyle doesn't want him 2 seconds after they sign him.

Well Perk averages only 8 pts in 28 minutes and he's the starter.

We just need a extra physical body to clog the middle and play defense. Again, the 15th man.

What are our present options if we lose Perk.

Foyle doesn't really have anything left in the tank. However he is a great guy and it definitely wouldn't hurt a team to have a guy like Adonal on their bench. I've heard that Orlando is going to try to bring him back though.
