Whose team is this?

[Rastapopoulos]

Hickson bails out Aldridge every game. We need to wait for a Dwight Howard-like opportunity, then trade Aldridge.

Hickson bail LA out? Um, no. Hickson is getting some rebounds, sure, but his ineptness on D is unbalancing the whole team.

Take away our best rebounder and no one will notice whether we play defense. We'll be after Aldridge's head for rebounds, not defense, as we slide into historic ineptitude.

Edit: just wanted to tell you, no such word as ineptness.

If Hickson gets hurt, you'll see how perfect a nonrebounding big man scorer is as we disintegrate. Hickson bails out Aldridge every game. We need to wait for a Dwight Howard-like opportunity, then trade Aldridge.

If Hickson gets hurt then of course someone will need to replace him at the center position and gets some rebounds. That has nothing to do with LMA. LMA gives us other things we need.

Busting his ass for 25 minutes going after every loose ball is not what we need from LMA. We need his 36-38 minutes on the floor to help open the offense up for others. That is his strength. The threat of posting up is needed. Who else on the team gives us that?

bingo! He regularly commands a double team. After passing out of it they swing the ball to an open shooter while the defense is scrambling. Thats a huge component of the offense. Of course your last question is rhetorical

He sure is a good decoy. So is a wooden duck.
