This. Dumblebert.

Hilario would have to take a serious pay cut to go to Miami. He's two to three times the player of what Dalembert is.

I'd love to see the offensive capabilities of a Melo/Amare/Nene front court team. That would be downright brutal.

I'd take Nene over Sammy between the two, but Dalembert would more likely be the cheaper option. Either or would be good. Miami really need to fix that centre spot. They'll take what they can get

Yes. He's also cheaper. He would fit perfectly in our system since he doesn't need ball touches to be effective. If he learns how to perfectly set a pick and roll, it would greatly help our offense.

Joel Anthony is a superior player to Dumblebert.
Sure his stats arent as good, but his defensive ability and hustle are much more valuable.

It sucks that we don't have any dominant Centers in the NBA beside Dwight Howard.

I really miss the 1990's.

Yeah, it's my favourite position too. Hopefully a healthy Bogut can get his play up a bit

Dalembert is going to resign with the Kings. All this hullabaloo about Miami is just to squeeze the most money out of the Maloofs.

This is Dalembert's last payday. He isn't going to take the MLE.

Clutch · 11-28-2011, 01:54 AM

He is too expensive so I don't want to see him playing for the Knicks.

Cmon now that is just silly talk

Dalembert is a far better player than anthony.

He would be a good fit, a far better option what they have now. He can rebound, block shots and finish downlow. If he wants to win he will sign in Miami

the guy is 31, the chances of him going to a bad team is slim IMO.

i can c dalembert headed to miami, cus they are willing to use their whole mle, nene will probably get a huge contract from denver to stay and the knicks are most likely to wait next year to make a run at dwight/paul/deron

He is better than Joel but people are really overstating what Sammy will bring. He just is not that great of a player and he is not going to magically make the Heat much better. He is really one of the most overrated centers in the league. His stats are much better than his impact.

He doesn't need to be, he just needs to be soild inside by defending the paint, rebound and block or change some shots. Playing with the big 3 is only going to make things easier for him. He won't need to do much to make an impact there. He will make them a better team. Any improvement on last years centers will make them a better team.

It then leaves Anthony to be there energy guy off the bench which would suit him far better as well.
