I don't know about all of you, and I want Chris Paul as much as anyone else, but what the heck are we going to do about our Center situation? It wasn't great before, but our rotation has been ravaged with losing TC and Ratliff. Nazr only has 20-25 minutes in him at best, and I don't want Diop in the rotation the other 25 minutes. We've GOT to add someone at the 5.
If we don't trade Dampier, which I really think we will, I think we would cut Dampier from his original contract and sign him to a new one at a very reasonable level.
He has already expressed his openess to such a deal.
This means 1 of 2 things. Either there is a bigger trade where he gets traded or he is on the roster day 1.
Again, I want him dealt but if he were on the roster, he would be a decent starter or complement to Nazr just as easy.
Dampier, Nazr and Diop are a decent 3.
Relax, Diaw and Nazr were our best centers last year and we still have both those guys. Diop needs some time. Besides he is the man. As soon as he starts getting run you will all be jumping on his bandwagon. We can always go small and just let TT play Center some too.
If we get Cp3, we sign shaq, there problem solved :o
Diop is latin for the word assissorefrombenchwarminQuote:

Diop can be translated in chinese to mean Deeeohhhppppcannn-nooottttttt
And if Diop was a lumberjack, his favourite would be pine because he loves to sit on it.
Nazzy I would say has about 25 mins in him. That means another 23 minutes of Diop/TT/Diaw at the 5. Smallball looks very likely if we don't make any changes. However if we sign Amunson (spellin, not sure of it and lazy to check it) I'm fine with him taking some minutes at the 5. Dampier may also fill in if we can't get a trade, then waive and sign him again.
As for the Shaq attack, love the dude but he doesn't want to come to Charlotte. We can't compete for a ring (yet) and he wants to get paid a big amount.
No...not really...
I'm worried about pretty much everything with this team, from Upper Management to the Ladycats. I heard Jordan isn't coming back this year?? wtf?! better be a lie
Need a solid big man, been lacking one since the beginning.
Oh ye of little faith. :rolleyes:Quote:

And no faith in Rod, MJ and LB? Oh, my.
i'm not too worried about the center..at this point, im used to not having a center that can post a lot of points. i think larry brown is more concerned with the centers focusing on defense and getting rebounds
i'm way more concerned about the PG situation. i would prioritize this before any centers
