Who no mention of Brandan Wright as our possible center?

[KingSpeed]

I believe he is a UFA and he had a 21 PER this season. I'd take him over Jordan. Prob cheaper too. Kaman is also available but Wright would be the one I'm interested in. Thoughts?

 

[magnifier661]

Because he's horrible

 

[KingSpeed]

He's better than Jordan and Gortat.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Personally I want a little more bulk. 210 is too small for a SF let alone your starting center.

 

[magnifier661]

But better than jack

 

[jlprk]

Before Chandler took his job, did Kwame?

 

[KingSpeed]

Wright averaged 1.2 blocks per game in only 19 mpg.

 

[magnifier661]

Jack had more turn overs off his foot than his blocks

 

[KingSpeed]

Huh?

 

[jlprk]

No wait that was Etan, right? Etan kept taking Brenda's job so they kept having fights.

 

[KingSpeed]

21 PER and young

 

[jlprk]

They should make his career into a long-running soap opera.

 

[jlprk]

Oh yeah that kid. I thought you meant Brenda. Sorry.

 

[jlprk]

Why don't we get this guy to tutor Meyers?

[KingSpeed]

I'd rather have Jermaine O'Neal to mentor Leonard and Wright.

 

[Pinwheel1]

We need to get more physical IMO. I like a center who can blocked shot, but if that was the only criteria we could have kept Chris Johnson. He is the same size as Wright.

 

[jlprk]

Speaking of veteran influences, is this center available?

[KingSpeed]

Wright has a 21 PER. CJ does not.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Giving up a top-10 pick for an average 30 y/o Gortat...

Even mentioning Brendan Haywood...

This forum reeks of desperation.

These are NOT moves that will get this team off of this decade-long treadmill.

NEXT.

OK I was embellishing my point. Wright is better than CJ. But still not big enough. The Blazers need to get more physical down low.

Who dat Branden Wright?

Are you serious or pulling the proverbial leg?

Serious.

Far better player than Jordan.

But what about Brendan Wright? Way better than Haywood or Gortat

 

[Hobbesarable]

Serious.

Far better player than Jordan.

Again, why do you think he's better?

Btw, thank you for the link!

Look at the numbers.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Look at the numbers.

If you are merely looking at the numbers overall then they say Gortat is better and he was even hurt this year.

You are not a slave to PER are you? Actual production instead of theoretical production is what matters. There is a reason DAL only played Wright 18 mins a game.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Look at the numbers.

I looked at PER for other positions as well.

So, going with your thinking for point guards, do you think the other 23 players ahead of Damian in PER are better?

That's different. Lillard is awesome. Gortat's PER is 34th among centers by the way.
