Nothing and I mean NOTHING compared to Dally's hands.

KingKong said:Nazr Mohammed anyone? He's an unrestricted FA this summer. Obviously, behind Duncan he's not getting much PT (16MPG). Prior to joining the Spurs, he was averaging 10.9 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1 BPG, 1 SPG, 50.9 FG% in just 28.1 minutes per game.
Bricklayer said:Thing is, before this season you would have said one of the things he did NOT do was block shots and clog the middle. And so I would have said "no". But now all of a sudden he is doing it for the Spurs and now...not sure. Still not the sort of impact guy we need to anchor us. But a quality big guy who could help some maybe.

nbrans said:I kind of feel like Nazr and Pryzbilla are guys who are going to command some money in the offseason, which is going to dampen the market for some of the lesser -- but promising -- bigs that are going to also be available, like Kasun, Mbegna and Jackie Butler. I'm hoping Petrie can find a "Pollard-esque" steal, possibly even with the LLE.
Otherwise, Bonzi for Nene double sign and trade is my current crackpot dream.
nbrans said:It's really tough to see a team parting with anything very spectacular for two 30 year old players with five year deals, even if they come cheaply.
I think SAR/Corliss is actually more realistic/appealing because SAR is cheap and Corliss has an expiring deal.
Kings113 said:haven't heard what Noah has said yet after winning the championship, but before that he didn't want to come out at all. Which was said a number of times (can see that in the draft thread in the nba forum), doubt we'd be able to select him with where he's projected and where our slot to pick is.
Dalembert was 225lbs coming out of Seton Hall, Ratliff was 215 lbs, Camby was 220lbs so he's not that light.Kings113 said:good point, and yeah he's small mass-wise.
Noah was 210lbs before this season so it's not like he doesn't want to bulk up. He just has narrow shoulders, kinda like Kevin so his frame will fill out at 235-240lbs and this additional 10-15lbs easily can be gained in a couple of months. Of course he could use strength trainer but it's not like he's severe undersized. And he's very athletic whether you speak of length, jumping or quickness. He doesn't have leaping ability of Thomas but he elevates very quickly and with the same wingspan he has 2 inches on Tyrus in standing reach.Kings113 said:I realize that, and could be similar. But it certainly isn't unecessary not to add some mass on. As Noah is ignoring advice about adding on some bulk. Like all those guys have added to their bodies. Noah also isn't as athletic as those guys were/are, which has gotten them by and being effective, and could be different for Noah if he doesn't add a bunch of weight.
