I'd take Jermaine as a back-up center, temporary fill in for Perk if we couldn't get Shaq, Miller, Chandler, etc.
You'd have to keep listing about fifteen or twenty more available big men before you got me to agree to JO.
Hell, I think I'd rather get Bill Russell out of retirement - he and JO have just about the same level of athleticism these days.
Have those of you who say he has nothing to offer even looked at his stats from last years regular season? Not bad at all for playing 28 mins a game. He is by far the most talented reserve at that position available and is the youngest of the options.
(reg season stats 13.6 ppg 6.9 rpg, 1.4 blk in 28 min. how is that bad?)
