He is more versatile than BBD and can shoot the 3 ball. Don't know if they would do it, but he would give us a guy that can play 3 and 4 with the second unit.

Maybe we sign Ben Wallace or Joe Smith for the other post.

Yeah I think I would do this, but Denver has been clear they wants to keep Kleiza and I don't think they have that kind of interest in BBD, I think NJ is the main team left with interest in Baby.

If he can legitimately play PF as well as SF, Yes.

I would still prefer Big Baby as he can provide the poundage to keep(or try to) Shaq and Dwight out of the paint. Kleiza cannot be used as an extra body in that way though...

Kleiza and Ben Wallace?  I'd call that an offseason.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

I think he can as much as Posey could but without the defense. A 7fter or heavyweight post guy is still going to be a problem just like it always was for Posey.

I prefer Baby because he can also backup C.

I like Kleiza a lot, but his game is too similar to Scals....he's a better version, but his talent is comparable to Baby. and Baby fits our needs better.

now if you could move Scals for a backup C, then I wouldn't have a problem swapping Baby for Kleiza.
