The Lions' Pride

I agree with this statement, I would however feel better if we also had maybe 1-2 more weapons on the bench to depend on if needed.

Who do you have starting at PF and C?

Moultrie and Hawes. Hawes was a beast until he got hurt. It took him a couple months to get back where he was in The early season. Moultrie was a steal imo. Many prognosticators had the sixers taking him with their first pick right outside the lottery.

I wouldn't be suprised to see either Moultrie or Thad Young start at the PF for us now. Voosh needs to play better defense before he ever sees signifigant minutes for us.

Still feel like we are one move (honestly think that it is moving Iggy) from being legit contenders to make a push.

Can you blame him? Iguodala made double what Lou did and somehow was given Lou's all star bid.

Two things. No, I can't blame him, but that doesn't make him right. Second, please tell me you don't think Lou was an all star.

Sir if Hawes starts for us at center I may assassinate Doug Collins. Hell I may kill Rod Thorn for giving that soft butterball a contract and giving Collins the option of playing that stiff.

Moultrie apparently is a bit lazy, which is why he fell, and we all know how that will work out under Collins (Mo Speights). So unless he changes his attitude he won't be moving off the bench. I hope he does though, very talented kid.

I think you start Lavoy and Vuc and hope for the best. Best case scenario, you trade ET for Favors and start Lavoy and Favors with Vuc providing scoring off the bench as the third big man.

Not even close IMO. And if last second shots were all star criteria, Robert Horry would be about the greatest player ever and Lebron would not make an all star team.

The Hawes contract is fine. 2 years for 13 million...that isn't terrible at all. I can't say I was happy to see him back, but that's a pretty good deal. He had a terrible series vs the Celts, but he really played huge during the Bulls series. He's very hit or miss at times, but he could just continue to work on his jumper, he has a role in this league. Not to mention, as much as I really like Voosh, he needs a ton of work. He did great in the beginning of the year, but really fell of towards the end. I don't think he had the mindset of such a long season, and I think teams started figuring him out. Here's to hoping he looks much improved during summer league.

No way would the Jazz ever trade Favors for Turner. Would love if that happened, but that's nothing but a dream. What's funny about that draft is Doug wanted Favors, but was overruled. What else is funny is that we probably would of gotten Monroe had we not gotten the #2 pick. Think of how nice things would be right now? Jrue with Monroe or Favors...so nice. Either way, we really need Turner to step up.

Anyway, I absolutely love Moultrie. He's the type of pick I love. 6'11 PF that is an elite athlete (37 inch vert). Pretty big wingspan. Shows a nice jumper as well. Best case he is a LaMarcus Aldridge. Worst case is Mo Spezzy. I don't think he's as much of a bum as Spezzy was, but he's still a question mark. Hopefully he buys into what Doug was selling.
