Kind of confused by this contradiction above. I will allow you to explain yourself better instead of bashing with no reason.
You say Kurt = PJ. Basically a wash, right?
So if Kurt and Amare couldn't stop the Spurs, what makes PJ and Amare effective? Certainly PJ is no better than Kurt and if he is he is not going to be a Spur difference maker. Wasn't Kurt supposed to be "it" or the "solution" for the Spurs?
Getting back to my main premise: Suns need to sign an additional big man alongside PJ Brown to compete with the Spurs. That is all it comes down to and that is the only point I am trying to get across. PJ + another big please.
Because overall I think Kurt and PJ are a wash based on their overall talent level. IMO PJ will do a better job against Duncan then Kurt. However, Kurt is the better shooter etc etc... They both had their strengths and weaknesses even though it's a wash.
Having said that, I am not a believer that you can stop Duncan anyway. I think the key to beating the Spurs is keeping Duncan honest and slowing the rest of the guys down. You can't do that without another big man.
I am also of the belief that had we not had that "chain of events" during the series that we could have beat the Spurs with what we had or at least had a legit shot. Now with Kurt gone, PJ is needed badly. With no Kurt and no guy competent to replace him how do you keep Duncan honest?
There are not 2 big guys to get anyway. Either you believe Amare will continue to get better on defense and go with it or you don't. Getting 2 additional big men (who can contribute) is a pipe dream without a major trade going down. Not to mention that inserting 2 additional big men in the lineup (either with or without Amare) would not work in this system.
