Better, Dex. Although get that FG% up you scrub.

God we need a big man...

Starting center for the team Pitt played was Mickell Gladness. He played 24 minutes, had 8 points on 4-6, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks a steal and 5 fouls.

Heat could probably get Mozgov from the Nuggets for the Philly 1st.

**Jace** · 01-01-2013, 08:43 PM

Didn't notice the 5-12. C'mon, son. The boards were the part I liked the best though.

Not sure if Mozgov isn't a Turiaf. He's at least bigger though.

**Wade2Bosh** · 01-01-2013, 08:46 PM

Even with how thin they are at C, I dont think he fits what the Heat would look for in a big.

I wonder if Toronto would do any deals? They got a ton of bigs, but it seems like Bargnani is the likeliest, if any, to be dealt. A guy like Amir Johnson would be a nice fit though.

**Wade County** · 01-01-2013, 09:57 PM

Would want a nicer big than Mozgov for a mid 1st rounder, but not sure who.

It's crazy how you look around the league and probably the majority of quality/starting centers were taken outside the lottery. Guys like Jordan, Pekovic, Varejao, Asik, and Gortat were all second round picks.

I just pray we don't do something stupid like send that Phirst rounder next year for something terrible like Samuel Dalembert (31, told to go away by another team). As I already said, you can get a quality starting center with a mid-round pick.

Kinda ridiculous we still don't have a center after all these years and all these chances. Ezeli should be here this season.

I think most of our trouble defensively and rebounding is because we aren't getting to the free throw line. I honestly don't understand what is going on with the refs and Miami this year but we're not getting any free throws and it's really starting to worry me. On top of that, I look around the league and see some other players and teams getting outrageous numbers of free throws so I don't understand it. I know the league likes to send out instructions and train their officials to make certain calls, maybe we were the subject of some of these instructions? We seem to be receiving targeted and singular treatment, different from other "superstar" teams. I'll post some free throw stats later, too tired to look them up now.

All of those C's were unknowns or projects or both. We need Riley to look beyond how many years a guy spent in college and choose a guy who appears to have some sort of truly harvest-able/malleable talent.

Good to see you guys finally recognize we need a true rebounding big.

We recognized that a while ago. Doesn't mean we consider trading Wade for Marcin Gortat.

**Jace** · 01-02-2013, 12:49 AM

Wasn't there mass outrage over here when we passed on Moultrie/Festivus? Always felt we needed a real rebounder. That doesn't mean he'll be one of our Final Five. As was stated, a 20-25 minute big would be nice. We'd still be at our best with Bosh and LeBron at C/PF.

Smithian · 01-02-2013, 11:36 AM

I hope no one here has ever experienced the blue balls I did when we drafted and then traded Arnett Moultrie. It was like I had a dream where I was about to be with Kate Upton and then woke up.

He'd have fit in here so, so well as a rebounding big.

In the mean time we must play Joel Anthony more minutes. We're inexcusably bad rebounding and teams are figuring us out. We need to play bigger more physical lineups. Joel Anthony would be a huge shot in the arm for this team as a starter.

While I don't necessarily disagree with the more Joel side of the coin, it's not like he's a great rebounder. In fact, he's an awful rebounder for a Center. But he defends the pick and roll very well, and would atleast add a bigger body down low that would allow CB or Lebron to clear the glass.

**Wade County** · 01-02-2013, 02:46 PM

Shit Norris, really?

What happened to the kid who had ice veins
