I would take him over Melo. More dynamic when his head is screwed in

There in lies the problem- his head hasn't been screwed in for the entirety of the past 2 seasons, and was only intermittently screwed in the couple of seasons before those! He was great for a while with the Hawks, but he lost it so much in Detroit I'm really not sure he'll get it all (or even most of it) back.

Was watch the Pacers/Nets game last night -- this dude's somewhere around 6'10" 250 and very serviceable. Good mobility/agility for a guy that big, he rebounds, isn't afraid to body up on guys, and he's pretty darned skilled on the offensive end -- very good jump-shooter with range all the way out to 3 (I think his shooting touch is good enough to eventually incorporate the 3-ball as part of his regular attack a-la Mike Scott/Channing Frye), he's very adept on the pick & pop (capable shooter anywhere in the mid-range) and he's got a decent enough post-up game with effective hook shots over each shoulder. Plays pretty good post defense too from what I can see...I think he'd bring more physicality than Jason Smith and better overall health/youth than Amar'e plus I think he'd come cheaper than either guy. Dude really reminds me a lot of Kurt Thomas -- nothing flashing but the same solid shooting, a little post-up and solid post defense...Lavoy Allen and Donald Sloan (a sturdy, skilled 6'3" PG that may not play a lot now that George Hill made it back into the Pacer's lineup) are definitely two serviceable Indiana players we might be able to get next year at a good price.

I like Allen a lot. He always gave Tyson fits. He was putting up really good numbers with not a lot of minutes.

Don't need to pay Mitch Kup a proven GM $60mil to do so

Nor pay Byron Scott and proven Finals coach $25mil to do so

There is no cap for executives or coaches. Also, I think Scott is a really bad coach.

Don't care about coaching executive financial caps

Once again on your trivial I care if they are living up to their pay

Fisher asked Scott's bad coaching out on a date

Not good hopefully he has a plan to back out of it
