Kurt Thomas is a better center than Wright. I would still make that deal because Wright is younger.
McDyess is a more complete player than Wallace, but McDyess hasnt played for 2 years, while Wallace has helped turn Det around.
Get over the size fettish, these mediocre 7 footers dont make teams better, talented players make teams better. Who do you want at center? Elton Brand or Tony Battie? Kurt Thomas or Travis Knight? You can say things like we need a "real" center to win a championship, I would like that very much...but lets first try to be a good basketball team first.
true, but lorenzen wright is really a 7ft PF... a more durable and tougher (meaner, aggressive camby, without the capabilities of sliding to the 3). but lorenzen was out last year after an injury, but he went on a serious tear (sp?) rebounding...
