SIGN A SHOT BLOCKER thread

Why don't we just trade our 2nd round pick to the Rockets for 40 year old Dikembe Mutombo (1 year 2.2 million), and call it a day? He at least makes people think twice about driving to the hoop.
 
Let me ask. How are we going to get a young shotblocker like Darko? They do not come often sometimes you have to pay alittle bit more for the big guys. Actually look at the average salary for a young 7 footer in today's game? They are not cheap.
 
If John Salmons is worth $29 million and Loren Woods can get $400,000 to hang around with the team for a few weeks in October, then Darko is worth $60 million for a long-term contract in my eyes.

Last night
11pt 6reb 3 blks in 24 mins. Darko 5th in the league in blocks per game averaging only 19.3 minutes per game and 1st in league blk per 48mins. I say that is worth 60 million added to the fact he is only 21 and loads of poential and on top of it has the quickest feet in the league for a 7 footer.

Not to mention that 2 of his 3 blocks last night were on JO.
 
id take Kirilenko for $10+ million a year

he'll make you think 5 times...maybe more when driving to the basket
he'll actually make you ponder about how you will get stuffed when you drive the lane
The Russian Assassin is what we need....but impossible to get

so what do we do for the 30 games in each season in which he is injured ?

You want him to be your center:confused:
 
i dont recall saying that
supposing miller was our center, AK our pf, artest our sf, kev at sg, and bibby at the 1

maloofs would have to go over the cap if AK was available for us

AK would get eaten alive in the post. AK is best used guarding perimeter swingman. We need a post defender we already have Artest having AK would be somewhat redundant.

I would nonetheless take my chances wiht that lineup in a second...if I could get some assurances Ak47 would stay healthy.
