Dude, Mashburn is not the main part of the trade. Chris Anderson is, b/c we are in much need of an athletic shot blocking center. Isiah should have made an attempt at him this Summer, but didn't.
Unfortunately, I think he might be out of Zeke's radar.
I rather Nazr in the middle because of his strength and size(6'10, 255) compared to Anderson(220 6'10) who really is a forward.
Bro, How would it look seeing Anderson in the middle @ 220pds vs SHAQ @330pds or even him against Ben Wallace?? DOn't think so.. HE's too thin to be patroling the middle against these centers ..
Don't worry about getting someone in the middle for next yr. Zeke definitely have eyes Eddy Curry who becomes a free-agent after the season.

We all also thought that Marcus Camby wouldn't have been able to guard Antonio and Dale Davis back in '99, but he was the MVP in that series.
First off, nobody can guard Shaq.
2, like Bonn said, he wont be guarding Shaq for significant minutes.
3- Why are you worried if he guards Ben Wallace, if he isn't a good offensive player in the first place.
4- Anderson is a poor mans Camby. He patrols the paint and blocks shots on the help defense. That's EXACTLY what we need. That's why I wanted Camby AND maybe Anderson in the offseason, but we got neither.
5- We are gonna have to look foward to the draft, in order to get a shot blocker, particularly on the help defense.
