Painfully obvious need for rebounding...

[BIG BEN'S FRO]

Man it makes me sick how bad we need frontcourt rebounding. Yes Dice is doing a good job, but it just doesn't change the fact that we are undersized at Center. We don't block shots from that position, and tall athletic rebounders kill us. There are few players who fit our system who are attainable, but I have to think Dumars must be calling PJ Brown. He is tall, can shoot as well as Dice, can defend, and is taller. We have talked about Camby, but given his play I really don't think he is available. Who do you think would fit in as a Piston that would be at least possibly attainable?

Too bad Primoz is a stiff, and he's slow. You'd think with that height, the guy could pull down a contested board or two...

PJ Brown would be interesting. He's from Detroit, he can score a bit in the paint, and he makes his FT's, not to mention he's a veteran and won't command the ball like C-Webb did. I wonder why we haven't heard his name at all, it sounds like he'd be an outstanding role player who fills our needs.

Just think if when we lost Ben, we could've gotten Tyson Chandler since Chicago was trying to unload him.

That would've been problem solved.

Camby's the guy, IMO, maybe the hope is that Stuckey makes Rip expendible.

Not yet, though, I imagine tons of those old scoring droughts without Rip.

How was the steak, Glenn?

and the BJ...?

And whomever would help rebound would help my 'painfully obvious need' of inside defense.

As the season winds down, and Portland looks ahead to life with Oden, they might be willing to deal Pryzbilla for expiring contracts.
They are in a rough salary situation that gets better the following year when Francis and LaFrentz officially drop off, but Pryzbilla fights down low and can pull in the boards.
Thoughts?
