I agree with Kstat here, I don't think Pryzbilla is that bad. Last year I suggested signing Diop and trading for Diaw, not that I am a genius or anything but everyone screamed about how dumb of an idea those were but new situations sometimes make players better.
I am not saying Joe P is the answer but I don't think that we can bitch that much. All the people saying he is injury prone raise, please don't ever sing the praises of Arnie Kander again since you really don't believe he is that good, because Dice was voted NBA's IR man of the year three years in a row and has missed 5-10 games as a Piston?
I'd still rather have Bonzi, but at least He gives us a pretty good frontline, as opposed to the very good frontline we had last year.
You need someone to guard the basket if you want to run. If we sign him, problem solved.
No, he's not Ben Wallace. But keep in mind that Benwas never given a chance to be a full-time center before he came here either.
He also isn't plodding. There are dozens of guys Pryzbilla's size that don't defend the paint like he does. He doesn't have Ben Wallace's range, but he does have the agility to defend the weakside of the basket.
Pryzbilla is a a flat footed injury prone joke. We're chasing a bootleg version of Big Z with no offense. [smilie=grumble.gif]
Gutz like Kstat said I would rather have Bonzi but I am not sure how that would work with only DD to play the 5 ?
So how many guys are we going to compare to Joel for no other reason than they're 7 feet tall and white? Just wondering, because I don't have all night.Quote:

Przybilla is neither.
If you want to make a comparison, make it to Diop.
As for injury-prone, please. That's very lame considering half our roster was injury-prone before they joined us.
Oh i'm totally going AWOl. The 5 should go to Sheed and Maxiel/Dyess mob out on the 4. I believe in that way more than a flat footed stand still shot blocker that even Ben himself can dribble around.[smilie=grumble.gif]Quote:

Sheed/DD
Dice/Max
Tay/Bonzi
Rip/Delfino
Billups/Blalock
Thats a huge gamble. Would Dice be able to start? Is Max ready? Can Sheed even play the 5 well? Is Blalock the backup we need?
I'd take signing Pryz over Bonzi unless we can get another big man in a trade or something.

No he's not soft, just unable move worth a shit. So what should i call him Zo? doesnt change anything. He still is a bench player. 3rd string on some teams.Quote:

But they were all thletic too. Another reason i wont even put him in diop comparisom. Diop is more athletic even if he is not much faster.Quote:
