I yhink A.Biedrins would be a good fit!
He has a poor offensive game, but who cares with Timmy next to him...
He D is realy good and it would remind me the Nesterovic Timmy combo that was really efficient!
What's your opinion?

I think he's a bit like Camby. Block's shots but he's undersized for a C and his man-to-man D isnt that special.Quote:

You guys do remember that just 2 years ago when Andris Biedrins was healthy he was playing at a near all-star caliber level averaging 16.8pts, a league high 14.9 boards, and 1.5 blocks a contest.
Oh wait, that might actually hurt your arguments. Never mind.
When did that even happen anyway? Are you spewing nonsense?Quote:

That's a home run opinion. :tuQuote:

Shane Battier, F, Rockets
Battier is the heart and soul of Morey's Rockets. Remember, Houston traded lottery pick Rudy Gay for him in 2005, shortly after Morey's arrival, and has never looked back. While Gay has been the more electric prospect, Battier has done what Battier does: all the little things that translate into chemistry and wins. I don't think any team in the league values him the way Morey does.
That said, there have been rumblings that Battier is available for the right price. The Rockets are after a big man, and, well, isn't just about anyone available for the right price? I don't see a team making an offer that knocks Morey's socks off, but you never know
Well, you have a good point, I would certainly entertain thoughts of Biedrins if the Spurs would offer Finley and half eaten bag of Doritos. But, then again, I'd hate to give up that half eaten bag of Doritos.Quote:

No On biedrins..... We Need A big man with Some length. Im tired of our center Being between 6'7 and 6'9.... I would love Someone 6'11 or taller, get some length and make guys shoot over the top of them.
Yeah, I'll bite. But the spurs would still need a back up point guard. If they could steal away Devin Harris from new jersey. I always liked Jackson, but Pop is stubborn in his ways and didn't want to bring him back.Quote:

It was a fairly decent system. How hard would it be to teach Theo Ratliff or Ian Mahinmi to do that? I doubt it would be terribly hard to do.
Nelson would have thrown in Acie Law or CJ Watson for sure. He tossed in Acie Law with Jackson in the Bell/Radmanovich trade, why wouldn't he have done the same in a Parker trade?Quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andris_Biedri%C5%86%C5%A1
His breakthrough game came in November 2006, when the Warriors beat the title favorites San Antonio Spurs 119-111. In this game, Biedriņš asserted himself against Spurs superstar Tim Duncan, only being narrowly outscored 18-22 and outrebounded 15-16,[9] but did block six shots, including three straight shot attempts by Duncan in the third quarter.
Ironic, eh?
Yes, but not what I would call a traditional shot blocker, because he didn't rely on leaping ability. He was tall and got good position, and he used a combination of good timing with the defensive system. One would think that Mahinmi could be groomed to be like Rasho with slightly better rebounding skill in the same type of defensive system.Quote:

Hill is only in his second full season, and for a team that still has championship aspirations, that's a lot of pressure.Quote:

At this point he's the third best at running the offense on the team, and that's probably only because Ime Udoka isn't here anymore. It's a big question mark going forward, even if the team were playing well right now. The only thing that could be worse is if they call up Curtis Jerrels or something and think he's going to be able to run an offense.Quote:

I'll agree with you that Hill would have been thrown into a pressure cooker but the kid has shown he is tough as nails and afraid of nothing and I think he would have elevated his game to a new level. I'm not sure how Jackson and Jefferson would have meshed offensively. Like many things it looks good on paper (to me) but might have been bad in reality. Defensively however I'm 99.9% sure this lineup would have owned.Quote:
