ah, but can we "afford" long term to pass up on a player who might be better because we "need bigs"?

What if they think that Morrison is the best player (or Gay)? do we pass on him because we "need bigs"?


What if the bigs that are there, are just fools gold bigs, that we fans are over-emphasizing their benefits because of 2-4 games in the tournament.

Need proof that the tournament is being over emphasized by fans? Look at LaMarcus Aldridge. 2 weeks ago, he was the "stud". After a few bad games, he's dropping in peoples eyes.

Way too much emphasis is being put on the games in the tournament. If these guys were as good as their tourny #'s are, why the hell weren't they doing it all season?
