    What if morey uses his MIT degree to make a time machine and brings backs 3 clones of MJ and 2 clones of the Dream. Acquirable.

    The team needs to find a starting center and then show David Andersen the weight room.

    Hayes or Andersen, depending on the match-up. A back-up for Yao is not as high of a priority any more.

    nothing is wrong, but it would be better to have a good offensive and defensive tall player

    Yes we really need a center, even when Yao returns. We have to limit Yao's playing time. I suggest B.Haywood @ PF. Then he can move over to C when Yao's comes out.

    Joakim Noah would be great on this team. He plays a lot like Chuck Hayes except he's 6 inches taller and he runs the floor well.

    I think Andersen can eventually improve enough to play 10 - 25 minutes a game...he'll be a good backup to Yao, and can also come in as PF sometimes to stretch the floor. When Morey brought in Andersen, I took it as a sign one of Scola or Landry will be gone by the end of this season...

    Man was looking at centers in the NBA. Man are they bad. Only ones worth anything are:

    Brook Lopez , NJN
    Chris Kaman , LAC
    Dwight Howard , ORL
    David Lee , NYK
    Al Jefferson , MIN
    Andrew Bynum , LAL
    Andrea Bargnani , TOR
    Andrew Bogut , MIL
    Marc Gasol , MEM

    What about Gasol or Kaman? Would love Al J.

    We need a shotblocking presence without Yao...a Deke-like player that can hold the fort on defense. It doesn't have to be a superstar but someone like Joel Pryz or Dalembert would be nice.

    WE badly need a tall and muscle man to defend our inner area.though hayes is good enough,he is still too short .I do know it is difficulty to find a suitbale piece to our team.just develop David andersen as quick as possible,he could be a backup in offensive end.let David and chuck share the backup would be a more realistic and acceptible way.
