I'd go with Elson and I am with the other posters in saying lets take a look at Bogans.

Didn't Gray sign for the minimum with Toronto? We should have tried that.
Your emotions fuel the narratives that you create. You see what you want to see. You believe what you want to believe. You ascribe meaning when it is not there. You create significance when it is not present.

Gray did, yeah...

Fesenko and Elson aren't "garbage"... they're role-playing centers who actually would be factors. Fesenko would be better at C than anybody on the team IMO, unless Pittman really imposes himself.

So we are going to roll with these guys until an oppurtunity for a legit starting center presents itself. So take a chill pill please.

I'd take Fesenko for sure. He's a true seven footer and can run, defend, and rebound. Plus he's still really young. Turns 25 this month.

Who on our roster can hold their ground in the post against Bynum and then stuff his shot? Plus he catches and finishes strong. Don't have anyone who can do that either.

Just laying out all of our options. Worst case scenario, we still have a roster spot open so it couldn't hurt to take a flyer on one of these guys.

Armstrong has the weirdest turtle neck, I don't want him on my team.

I still beleive in Pittman, the kid has already improved a lot. He just needs to stay confident in his abilities and play with a rage. He will aslo need to continue to improve his fitness relentlessly. Spo will not play him until he gets fit enough to run fullcourt up and down, cover the PNR, and block the weakside.
