Well, considering that the Heat and Rockets are the only two teams with dominate centers, maybe the other 28 teams shouldn't even play.

Re: We need big man

Teams with massive inside presence win championship. As long as there are big men to bang and rebound not necessarily score.

I agree that he was bit too soft few years back but not now he dunks rebounds and is biggest old school post threat in NBA after Duncan. The fact that he is slow and can't jump/has stammina problems doesn't mean he isn't good... I know that being athletic gets most of fans wood but come one it's not hes fault that hes height limits him

Re: We need big man

I agree generally with your comment. I have to say I never thought Yao could dominate until the end of last year. He was absolutely unstoppable the last 10 games last year before his injury. Until he does that in the playoffs I would just put Shaq in that category, but he is probably the closest any other C can be to dominate in the league.

I wouldn't mind Lorenzen Wright. Does he still have that really expensive contract, though?

I think he is garbage since he is actually old, plays soft and isn't upgrate by any means plus he got big contract few years back... I belive he earns something like 10-11 mil a year (though he may be on last year). So I think he sucks and yes hes sallary is huge.

We need some big guys, even if they're on Scot Pollard's level.
