Big Man Hunt Prediction

[JES12]

Yao out for the season & playoffs.

Stress fracture.

That helps relieve the loss of Diop a little. At least for one team. There is still the Spurs, Nuggets, Suns and Lakers.

Nuggets and Lakers? Nuggets don't have a low post threat to worry about and I think dirtyfilthynasty said it best that Gasol is one of the softest players in the league, although I would have to see how the new-and-improved Bynum plays against us first to gauge how our centers fare.

^^^
I wasn't refering to one individual person. Bynum/Gasol/Turiaf & Melo/Martin/Camby all play inside games (though Melo has a good jumper as well). All get to the basket with easy (except maybe Camby who plays there anyways). Even if non man to man, we still need that big man patrolling the middle. No so much with the Warriors or Houston w/o Yao. You cna make a case for Boozer, West, Chandler, but I don't see them as a bigger need for big men in the middle.

Not in your conference, but PJ Brown has decided to play this year, and he's chosen Boston:

The Celtics, their needs still unaddressed at backup point guard, made a strong move today to add defense and strength to their frontcourt with the signing of veteran power forward P.J. Brown.

The 36-year-old Brown played for Chicago last season before going into semi-retirement. He was also pursued by the Celtics last summer, but expressed a preference to remain near his home in Louisiana, though he ultimately didn

Where is Justin Williams in all of this? Is cuban refusing to pay for a 10 day contract? Actually I would not blame him

[dirkules_41]

Maybe he wants to wait because Williams probably wouldn't see any playing time against the Spurs.

Cuban said he wanted to stay away from D-leaguers. Williams and Fazekas are not on his radar.
