Utah with Boozer and Okur maybe. It depedns on who is considered to be a center more.

I'm pretty sure Okur is generally the center of that duo.

I think LB is working towards next year as a goal of doing things right. Drafting Lexx and letting him learn this year and then play him maybe even start him next year or sooner. I think he has at least a 2 year plan going on, so I'm on board with that thinking.

Wait, you mean we wont be getting instant results?

A lot of people in here seem to think that since we got LB as coach that makes us an automatic playoff team. Sorry to say it don't. We need key players. We have players on our team that wouldn't be playing at all if they were drafted by other teams. LB is screening the players we have this season and training those that need to learn. Next season we all will see a big difference in every aspect of this team and very possibly a entire different look player wise. I feel that before we trade half our team away in trades he wants to know who can do what and who can play at all and who he wants to keep. Right now as we stand we are at least 2 key players away from ever making the playoffs. Having said that we could sneak in as a 8th spot this season if several players step it up and help J-Rich, GW and Mek. Felts is looking better but still makes mistakes here and there, DJ still makes rookie mistakes, Duds is getting better and I believe would be our starting 3 if GW were to go down or get traded although he still has things to learn. When LB walked in this season as coach the team was a mess, its still a mess but has a lot of potential. So I feel next season we will finally make it to the show....

Seconded! This really is looking like the plan, and really, because it seems like an actual plan, I'm pretty much okay with it. The playoffs aren't the goal for Coach....they'll be a pleasant surprise, but it's more about working on the culture and auditioning players and their roles, if any, for next season's big push.
