Who is the Mystery Big Man

[tmac13]

Remember what JJ said a couple of weeks ago..He said the Hawks were getting a "pick and pop" big guy..Mihm is the only guy on your list that fits that description..

oops... that's supposed to say "maybe we're bringing Lo back.

[Sothron]

If it wasn't for much money I'd love to have "Lo Down" back in Atlanta. He was one of mine and Jaywalker's favorite players. The guy gave the effort every night. Winning games actually matters to him. We could do much worse than to bring him back.

Did Bernie say a C or a Big?

He said a big.

But he also mentioned backing up Zaza.

[DrReality]

Did anyone mention Gooden? Don't see him being the guy we want but he fits the criteria. He's probably gonna cost too much.

[er9dverk]

everyone's heard of olowakandi

[BusBoyIsBack]

Mystery big man? Ok can someone please fill me in on what I missed?

Edit: Oh I see nevermind. Great stuff.

I hope it's Magloire too! Although isn't he old?

Somebody we will recognize....could be Luke S. from GA Tech.

Dude he did say GOOD!

Although he is definitely NOT SHAQ.

[Blunt91]

What about Dekembe?? I know he is 39years old but he keeps himself in good shape. He is somebody that we all would recognize even though he isn't the same Deke he was here, it hasn't been that long ago when he was name Defensive player of the year back in 2001. Deke didn't really do to well this past year but his first year in Houston he proved to be a valuable backup for Yao. Again he never was Shaq but he was still well known, and is now only a solid backup.

[tmac13]

Im betting Deke is closer to 45 than he is to 39..Its has always been rumored he was alot older than listed..

[DrReality]

From the Seatle board a rumor on what they are offering Wilcox. If this is the case, he could be an option.

Take this for what it's worth. Informed sources tell me 3 years, $19 million is what they'll do. MAJOR questions about work ethic and attitude.

[unknownjdb]

I hate to say it, but what if it's Zach Randolph?

[KB21]

It's not.

Two things make that so. First, the contract. Second, his character.

Anyone with a big contract is someone you can rule out immediately, and if they have the double whammy of having a bad contract and bad character, then they were never even a blip on the radar.

[unknownjdb]

Drew Gooden? - Cleveland can't seem to tie him down, are we able to package something for him?

Kenyon Martin? - I don't think so, but it would be interesting.

Eddie Griffin? - Not a star, but definitely a young defensive threat. Probably would come the cheapest as Minn would actually be looking to dump salary to help their cap.

Give me a break on Griffin. He was caught drinking and masturbating in his car. Sounds like Belkin's kind of player, but until he takes over lets set the moral standard a little higher.

[BusBoyIsBack]

They said a guy that's been making a splash for 4-5 years so that can't be Griffin right?

I saw this mentioned over at RealGM and the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. Denver just made a huge commitment to Nene. A deal for Camby would be hinging on Al's deal getting done. Camby has been productive for a while. As far as fit goes, I think he fits beautifully. A long athletic big man that can run the floor, reabound and block shots. He has four years left on his contract at around 8 million dollars per year. There are two problems I see. He is on the wrong side of 30 and he always seems to find himself on the IL at least once a year. The question is, what would we give up?

[flava]

it's a thought!
