Bill Duffy on KTAR says we're getting a center

[George O'Brien]

It's interesting reviewing this thread. JP was brought up before we knew that Atlanta had not given him a qualifying offer, and before we knew that the Suns had worked him out. Still, it is hard to see his signing as "shocking".

One of the more interesting lists is the number of rebounds per 48 minutes. Some guys are high on the list because they did well in short minutes like David West of NO and Reggie Evens of Seattle, but otherwise it is pretty interesting. I was very surprised to see Jeff Foster of the Pacers in the top ten.

um, having both Q and Damp is impossible... its either one or the other.

If GS doesn't want to add alot of salary we could trade Howard and Milos for Damp or add Casey as long as we stay under the cap.

Trading Casey only makes sense if Damp would sign a deal starting at $6.8 and Casey's salary was needed to make the deal work. I'm not sure GS would want another guard though. GS already has all the guards they need: Richardson, Fisher, Claxton, and Pietrus.

There is absolutely no way that the Warriors would do this.

If you mean Eisley, I am sure you are right. A trade of Casey MIGHT work, but I doubt it because GS doesn't need another guard.

Are they ever going to tell us about this "Shocking Center" or what. I'm tired of waiting.
