Yes, we need another center, but yes Nance has a 7'2" wing and a 9' standing reach. I am anxious to see him play some center in preseason.

I have a pretty funny story from my college days back in the UofO. Actually, this was probably my party-after-college days...no matter

anyway, the head BB coach for the Ducks back then was a guy named Dick Harter, He was a former marine and he ran his team like boot camp. That was the infamous "Kamikaze Kids" days for Oregon basketball. They were junkyard dogs and Harter was never more proud than when the Ducks, all of them, dove on the floor for a loose basketball. Harter had a picture framed that showed all 5 Ducks on the floor at once:



anyway, pre-game rituals were very structured and repetitive. Harter believed that was preperation. One of the rituals was that when the Ducks did layup drills, about a half dozen Ducks would stand at the halfcourt line and stare at the opposing team doing their warmups

well, one time the Washington Huskies, who were always a good team back then played at Mac Court. Now, their head coach was Marv Harshman, a very good coach, but also quite the showman. He had a plan, and so, when the half dozen Ducks went into the stare-down mode, about a half Dozen Husky players got right in their faces. The only difference was the Husky players were all wearing Groucho Marx masks. It was hilarious even though it got the Mac Court crowd in a fever pitch. But the Huskies walked the walk and beat the Ducks that night

I did wish we could've kept Kanter.

I wondered if the team just felt they had to move on to better defenders. Billups is trying to change habits, add new accountability, and motivate everyone. If you have a shitty defender it makes that message harder to push. Maybe if it was year 3 of Billups tenure Kanter could've stayed.

Oh well... Maybe this means the 14th spot goes to a big.

Is that Ernie Kent in the fro or is that him on the right?

Enes signed for 2.6, Cody signed for 2.4

now, correct me if I'm wrong, but 2.6 is larger than 2.4.

You could have told me the JinxSpeed guy posted this and I would have believe it.

again, they both signed for the minimum contract. Their teams will each pay a bit over 1.6M and the rest is paid by the league. Kanter makes more because he has 2 more years in the league than Zeller. That wouldn't have changed no matter where they signed

but I suspect you know that and are just giving HCP some grief

How many times do I have to tell you guys, it’s @THE HCP
 
You always need 3 centers. But any discussion about a player being soft, injury-prone, or made of glass because he broke his nose after being hit like he was....... is a little over the top.

Over the top hyperbolic discussions here!?

My initial draft included "stupid fucking idiotic comments" but I am trying to be more "Zen" on the message boards. It is not easy......

It's the era of the mask! Roco just had his nose reconstructed...they rebroke it..he said before they did that he had trouble breathing all last season...now he can breathe...at least Cody will get it done right away and not just have it reset temporarily. Boxers go through this all the time

At that point, they could show him a display of various noses, and have him pick one. We should all be so lucky.

I like my nose ok except I didn't notice until recently that it is not centered properly at all (broken twice and never set). Which probably explains why I don't have any biological children; I have read that women pick symmetry in a mate. :) (of course @theHCP will probably think there are other reasons so I will add this to reduce the effects of any BAM)
