Doesn't really matter, he's probably a couple inches taller than Blair.
Ben Wallace was also listed at 6-9. Listed numbers don't mean a thing...
You're missing the point entirely. Blair is listed at 6'6" right now. I think we can all agree that when numbers are "off" that the player is listed as taller than he really is (taken in shoes, whatever the reason). I've never seen a guy listed shorter than he really is.
So, Blair is 6'6" tall at best. Agree?
Max is also 6'6" at best. No way do I want two PF's that size on this team.
If we make some moves to get a true center and Max is gone...I consider Blair.
Sheed and KG are both listed at 6 11", and are 7 foot in shoes (which is what NBA measurements are). But I usually see short bigs listed taller than their height.
Again, if you take Blair, that means one of them is starting (I assume Max given he's not a rookie). Since our centers are currently Kwame, Amir and probably Dyess...are you happy with that kind of size? We have no post player.
Since the centers that will be available for trades (like Chandler) are probably not great post players, we would need a solid post player at PF...not an undersized PF like we already have.
I'll disagree here.Quote:

I don't know about Blair, but Brand has some long-ass arms.
Max actually does, too.
But I'll still take height, vertical and long-ass arms any day.
If Ty Lawson or Curry fall to us, I say we take them, and move Stuckey to Sg. Rip can be moved to another team for some frontcourt help.
