This is what someone was thinking Also in that article, they say we lack a perennial superstar (and that they'd hold judgement on LMA until the season ends)
Sounds good to me if he can stay healthy, will sign cheap, and will come off the bench like the blogger suggests.
Well, Aldridge hasn't been a perennial superstar. He has been a perennial All-Star, but this is the first season where he's really taken that superstar jump.
I'm with you there. I love Hawes and what he can do and bring to this team. The defense for the other team would never have to guard the paint, though!
I don't think it's completely unrealistic. Not in the current market. I doubt Philly is going to pay him, so most teams will only be able to offer the MLE. Look at what JJ Hickson got last summer. This isn't the NBA where big guys got 12 mill a year without even thinking twice.
below splitter? not if he maintains his stats this yr - but that is the big IF as he has been injury prone
