You can probably get a guy like Gadzuric from Milly pretty cheap (I am not sure of his contract status), but Gadz can run, and was a decent rebounder and shotblocker in limited minutes before Bogut got there.

Personally, I love Al Horford as a player. He is a C, can run, block shots...he may or may not be getting a contract extension and may not come as cheap as some secondary guys like Gadz but Wilson another player (Walker, Azu) and $3 mil may work.

Horford
Amare
Gallo
Insert 2G here(Douglas, Fields, Gallo?)
Felton

I think the key is that you have to get a guy that minimizes taking developmental minutes. Horford is young and reminds me of a young Oakley-without the uberhustle gene, or an Alonzo Mourning without the offense.

Or we could just coach our team to BOX OUT when they are in a rebounding situation. David Lee didn't have any trouble grabbing boards. Neither should our other bigs. It's a matter of effort and determination. And boxing out!

For those saying lets get Lee back- we were outrebounded by 275 last year.

Lee grabbed a lot of rebounds because there were so many to grab. Dennis Rodman on our team last year would have probably averaged 30+!

Also, a 2-3 rebound shortage per game isn't bad at all... we've been getting blown out by much larger amounts... it's still pre-season so I wouldn't panic yet. But if we are 20+ games in and we are getting outrebounded by 15 per game consistently, we'll need to do something creative.

Fire the coach?
