    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!

    there is the why bother category, when it's so unrealistic it's almost insulting

    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.

    +1. Say no to Marvin--the official posterboy of why you don't draft 3/4 tweeners.

    I see Hawes a step below splitter and a step up from the dalemberts of the leagues.
