Certainly not overrated when healthy. Health is the key, though. Shaq has surprisingly always given Bynum some trouble; A healthy KG would probably match up well with Gasol, also.

The problem is what about after that? I haven't seen it yet, but in general...I think Davis, Murphy and Krstic are going to have major problems guarding Gasol or Bynum.

  It goes both ways though, right? Gasol and Bynum have to either guard Murphy or Krstic or protect the rim, but they can't really do both.

Kristic to me is a better rebounder [than Perk].

While it's...nice, I guess, to make such confident proclamations, Krstic, to rebound rate, an objective measurement of a player's ability on the boards, is a significantly inferior rebounder.

Krstic is not only a top-2 offensive center in the league, but he's above-average on defense and is a beast on the boards, too. 

Danny Ainge traded a crappy, injured one-dimensional center for a top-10 small forward and a top-5 center.

You actually think there's a better offensive center than Krstic and potentially four better overall?

You show me those, and I'll show you a Raptors team primed to win the title.

Nenad Krstic doesn't do push-ups. He pushes the ground down.

We are in some serious trouble without a healthy set of healthy O'Neals I'm afraid.

On the other hand, All it would take for LA to get no where fast is AB to get injured again. 

I have a bad feeling,  Bynum finally looks healthy.
