Potential Bigs We Can Acquire? (Post-Trade Deadline Edition)

No, it was right the first time.

We can get Aaron Gray, who is like a combo of Gortat and Malik Allen. Not skillset wise, but if Gortat literally ate Allen.

I don't see why NYK would give up Turiaf, when they are also lacking size. I'd wish for him, but I know its not realistic.

 

What about Chris Mihm? Used to play to LAL, now I think he's out of the league. He was a decent big, but was just injury prone.

For what it's worth, consider Battie the more likely possibility as source close to the Knicks says "no chance" Magic getting Ronny.

I'm really surprised someone had to even ask a source if that part had any legs.

 

I want Darko.

Highly unlikely the Knicks deal popular Turiaf for Duhon without having another big on the way. Plus, Duhon's contract eats into 2012 cap.

Maybe Orton would intrigue them?

I doubt it..he's got a long way to go

[Jareth Cutestory 678]

We're gonna get Battie. I just know it. :svgsad:

Turiaf would be perfect, but the Knicks aren't giving him to us.

[Nyce_1 311]

We're gonna get Battie. I just know it. :svgsad:

what's so bad about Battie? He's a vet that plays within his role. Nothing more, nothing less. What am I forgetting about him that everyone seems to remember and use that as a deterrent for bringing him back to fill Gortat's role?

I just don't want a playoff series to come about with a team like Boston and Dwight picks up 2 easy ones in the first 3 minutes. I don't trust Battie for THAT long. And he was never that great of a rebounder, and he's up there in age.

 

He's not the worse choice though.

Slow on d, not really a shot blocking threat, jumper became very iffy towards the end here. I know I'm expecting a lot from a back up I would just prefer someone more atheletic.
