Jermaine ONeal or Emeka Okafor. Barely play them all year (10-12 minutes a night with frequent off nights) and try to keep them ready for the playoffs. They are the least terrible of all of the terrible bigs remaining.

John Henson is trash. 5th lowest WAR in the NBA and 9th worst real plus-minus. Out of 438 players. On a team that tanked and won 15 games in this shitty conference, by the numbers he was their very best tanker. Maybe I would throw them a 2nd rounder or 2, but he isn't worth any actual assets.

Hey an I like TT

Hes young but still, his progress isn't retarded slow

I still think Thompson will look better with our spacing this year.

As for the C position, Okafor, Udoh, and Stiemsma are the ones I'd be interested in (In this order).

Although I have no idea how healthy Okafor is. The lack of rumors about him might suggest there are serious concerns there.

Henson isn't bad, but many others are better. Bynum was 37.6% with the Cavs and Henry Sims was 37.5% with the Cavs.

It should be noted that Ekpe Udoh held opponents to 46.3% at the rim, just like Henson. Udoh won't require assets to be give up in trade if we can sign him.

Kyle O'Quinn is a bit better with more upside and I think he can be had with the right offer. Frye is going to split time at C and PF for Orlando. Vucevic will start at C. The Magic love Tobias Harris at PF (for good reason, it's his natural position) and they'll flex Aaron Gordon between the 3 and 4. O'Quinn is in a contract year and one of three restricted guys including Vucevic and Harris. The Magic see Harris as their starting PF long term. They see Vucevic at C. They have extra depth at C. They could also use clearing a roster space. We could send our late first rounder for O'Quinn. I think the Magic would take that.

Well ANY big on the team should look serviceable playing with Lebron. But I hope we don't get confused and group TT into that class of guys whove played with LBJ that had no skill but looked like all stars. TT actually did add a move or 2 this season and I hope he continues his double double ways

IMHO, Tristan Thompson > Drew Gooden.

A Canadian JJ Hickson?

A Canadian JJ Hickson?

Lebron to me always looked pissed at Hickson after lobbing a ball off of his head in a wide open spot.

And he should've retired after that game.
