I won't listen. He is white and American. Jeff Foster maybe?

Haha. I'm not the one with the hearing problem. I have history to back me up, it's you guys that want real facts

Of all the centers you listed none of them come close to the athletic ability that Meyers Leonard has.

I'm more concerned with Zellers' age than his race.

Looks like we are building around Aldridge. Zeller is younger than LMA, so I dont think age is an issue. If anything it helps, because Zeller will be in his prime sooner than the other bigs (projects).

But, if our window of contention doesn't open for three years, who would you rather have at that time? Zeller, Leonard, other?

Why would it need 3 years to open?

I'm more concerned with Zellers tiny little T-Rex arms then his age or race. The guy has a shorter reach then MKG. Does anyone think MKG is big enough to play center?

Do players ever block shots with their head? Headbutt the ball or take one to the face? Ummm no they don't...

I don't care if my defender stands with his head at Shaqs height if he can’t reach as high as Batum he is going to get killed playing against the legit big men in the Association.

I'm not advocating for Zeller at 11, but he does have a longer wing span than Kaman or Love. It's not like he has Bayless arms. He will never be a shot blocker, but the rest he can handle.

I would still take Leonard of the two. Henson is interesting, but I see him getting pushed around a lot.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Meh. I just don't see Zellar being able to rebound or defend at the NBA level. If you have to roll the dice, at least gamble on Leonard who just might turn into more than an adequate back-up.

Actually, I would take Henson over either.

 

[Reep]

You think we will be competing for a title in less than three years? At best I figure two years to acquire assets, maybe make a trade after that and then have one year to gel. I don't see it happening sooner than that.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Too bad we don't have McHale...

There's no better coach than McHale in League for Meyers.

The issue is not whether Zeller is at risk to retire due to age before Aldridge. The issue is that being older leaves less upside, so he's less likely to improve by leaps and bounds than a younger player. If Zeller were so overwhelmingly good right now that he didn't need to improve further, that wouldn't be a problem...but he's not overwhelmingly good. Being decent now with marginal likelihood to get a lot better is limiting the likely talent on the team a couple of years down the line.
