I wouldn't even consider it unless they take TT's contract with them.

Where are you going to find a true defensive center with longer than a 7'5'' reach?

Oh, wait, that's right...we already have him on the roster.

Why would we need another one and duplicate the best player on our roster?

6'9 vs 7'0

Our paint would be locked down with Biz and Melo.

ehhh, 7'0 isn't that big of a deal. Bismack has a longer wingspan, and a higher standing reach. Effectively, Bismack is taller.

^^^^ This. I would much, much prefer a Biz-Robinson front court to a Melo-Biz front court...No question.

I am not even sold 100% that Fab Melo is a starting level C in the NBA.

He isnt taller though and Fab will look more imposing on the court. Regardless if his standing reach is longer or not.

I think Biz can play C, but Id rather have a 7 fter there and let Biz play PF.

Good luck to anyone driving the lane with those 2 down low....

Only down size is not much in the way of low post scoring, but I would take great rebounding and defense over low post scoring any day of the week.

I said it on another thread so I hate to be repetitive but in basketball, heigth is one of the most over-rated stats in the game.

Why not just get Fab and Robinson? We could do it with the right moves...

Melo blocked 3 shots a game essentially playing half the game. Dude was a presence in the paint. He has put in a lot of work to get in better shape and condition his body. I think he is gonna be a fine nba player.

Biz has already proved to me that he can block shots at that same pace at the NBA level.

Biz doesn't need to "work to get in better shape" or worry about his conditioning at all.

I'll take Biz in the middle over Melo 10 times out of 10.

Two elite shot-blockers are better than one...

Outside of Biz we have nothing in the post. Would be foolish to not want a young player like Melo.

Did we discuss #2 & Henderson for #5 & Tyreke Evans? Someone just posted it on RGM's trade board and I think I'd be hard put to deny that the value ain't bad. Evans could be a risk but he has looked to be a beast.
