He wants a big black guy to play defense and protect the rim. But he also wants a smart big to initiate his offense. In the NBA how many rim protecting bruisers can pass the ball? How many are there in the HISTORY of the game?
CHris Webber.....
Bill Russell....
Hakeem...
hmmmm
Webber was a pretty bad defender. Not Kevin Martin or Scola bad, but he certainly wasn't any good.
Also Adelman's offense really only needs one guy that can initiate the offense from the high post. Of course you'd rather have two, but it's not a necessity.
The problem is that Scola isn't very comfortable/good initating the offense from the high post, which forces your center to initate the offense.
So either you trade Scola for a someone that is comfortable intiating the offense or you trade for a center that can intiating the offense alongside Scola.
Of course there are almost no centers that can defend, rebound, block shots and pass. Cousins is one. Nene is another one, though he's more of a PF and both bring limited shot blocking.
Morey is in a tough spot, he's a seller in a buyer's market and the value of his players will continue to shrink as/if this team keeps on sucking.
