what would jack bauer do? wrote:It would be wise to keep sacre as a 3rd string center. The injury bug hits every team every year. With dwight's back still in question and Gasol getting older we need a big body like him. Especially for the price we're gonna get him at. Don't see any difference between him and the other huge 7 foot scrubs like fesenko and aaron gray, except this guy looks like he has a motor.

Man I agree with you guys completely on Johnson-Odom over Morris and Goudelock. Morris and G-lock will never be able to contribute on the defensive end the way the johnson-odom can. Dude played the right way in the summer league. He's not a flat out stud, but he makes up for it in sheer effort. While G-lock and morris were trying to score 20 a game and were playing absolutely zero defense, odom was showing he's willing to bust his ass on both ends. He didn't perform well, but i'd love a guy with that tenacity in every practice. Kinda like the fire that crittenton lit under farmar's ass a few years back.


I didn't see any of the summer league games but i've only heard good things about DJO, I like him he just needs to be able to shoot consistently which i don't think he did (again I don't really know how good he was because I didn't see the summer league games) he was a good scorer in college right? I live in England so I have very limited access to anything involving basketball....

Wade's in the twilight of his career with that knee surgery... don't see how he can maintain what he's been the last 9 years at such a heavy weight and with an unreliable jumper. We kinda saw him fall apart this last year. I hate to see another player go down before the end of their prime because of a knee, maybe wade'll figure it out. But I'm thinking he could be another superstar that's done by 30 like Tmac and penny... and to a lesser extent roy, francis etc.

Hey, come on Deep. We need pessimists to keep us level headed. His points are valid to an extent, we don't have the athleticism at the wings that other contender do, it's best we accept it and find work-arounds.
