At the 5 spot, Langlois makes a case for Nazr

[DrRay11]

I believe it to be evident that Webber's not coming back, so it's time to get into thinking about our options at center. What are they? What are we going to do?

[Hermy]

I hate the idea of it being Sheed, but our depth may be leading us that way.

Sign Darko to a two year BLE, Flip Murray style

This is a very difficult question.

I'm guessing it depends on what Hill decides to do (MLE availability).

I'd also like to explore that Nazr for Haywood idea, but Haywood would be better as a backup C too.

[micknugget]

I say that we start Nazr, becpme unhappy with him (again) and then trade for a starting C mid-season.

[defrocked]

Right now, I say we give Nazr the second chance, now that he's had a half-season with courtside tickets to see what we need from him. He's really not as awful as we all make him out to be, I swear!

Sadly, this is true. He's not great, but he's probably better than most of the other options we have. I still wouldn't mind seeing us trade him for someone like Brendan Haywood. He's not much of an upgrade, but he's a little better.

The biggest problem is that there are only a handful of good center-type players out there: Shaq, Dwight Howard, Oden, Yao, and other guys who are really PFs (Duncan, Garnett, etc.). Since getting any of those guys is out of the question, the real issue will be fielding a successful team without a decent center.

[Glenn]

Too bad Flip pissed off Dale Davis, he could have helped out for 15 minutes a night at the vet's minimum.

Not that it would help us get younger...

[Zekyl]

Sheed could be that other guy that's really a PF for us. Its not the ideal situation, running him out there as the C all the time, but its doable.
