Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to what McDyess has left. Against a team like the Cavs or the Lakers, I'm sure he or Rasheed would prove very useful. But against the Magic, I'd expect they'd be dead in the water.
As for Gortat, I don't see him as a gamble. He's an extremely solid backup center that will close down the paint. He consistently did it against LeBron, and that's plenty good enough for me. (Especially since I'm worried about Perk's shoulder.)
Again like it was mentioned earlier, a healthy Kevin Garnett can guard Rashard Lewis, it's no longer a mismatch. That aside, your agruement is that Sheed and McDyess would solve nothing in regards to Rashrd Lewis, I dont understand how Gortat would solve that problem either. Both McDyess and Sheed are proven players, thats what we need. I'd much rather us sign a player where we know what we're getting instead of giving a guy a contract just based on a few break out games.
If Anderson Varejao opts out of his deal, which he said he is, Im sure Wyc and Danny would take a look at him.
I know the main focus is probably on big men b/c of the length of time Powe will be out, not to mention the question marks are BBD coming back, but what about Allen Iverson?? Again, before people jump all over me, Im guessing what Wyc and Co. might be thinking, this is not my first choice here. They would have to know it would be a long shot, especially given AI's whining about coming off the bench, but stranger things have happened. I know Wyc is focused on bringing 18 home, but the merchandise sales of bringing Iverson in would have to be in the back of his head as well, and you cant say Iverson wouldnt be a difference maker on the bench.
