2012 - CB Draft: "How's My Team Look?"

[Lucky17]

I like this team, would like to see a true center.

I think at this point in his career, Brand really is a center.

[Roy H.]

Varejao
Lebron / Brand
Green
TBD / Gordon
Lowry

I thought you'd acquire Andy to play him at PF, but it looks like you're committed to go with LeBron at the 4 full time? Maybe mix and match depending on the opponent?

As Edgar said, we're pretty happy with the flexibility and versatility of the lineup.

We can go to a traditional lineup of Varejao / Brand / Lebron / SG / Lowry, or we can run out one with one of our bigs playing center and Lebron / Green as hybrid 3/4s.

Agreed.  The dude has a 7'5" wingspan and is an elite post defender.

Agreed.  The dude has a 7'5" wingspan and is an elite post defender.

I guess I should of worded that differently.... A true BACK UP center.

I can live with that

[Who]

I really loved how dangerous an offensive team Dallas were prior to this trade.

You were a nightmare to matchup against. Impossible to stop. A steamroller just coming at you over and over again and there is nothing you can do about it.

The floor spacing and multiple quality scoring options were just too good. With the greatest player on the planet leading the charge.

I think we're still that team, we just approach it in a different way.

I think you are still very, very good offensively. Very tough to defend against.

But with Granger, your team had this extra gear ... this gear that pretty much no-one could account for ... that was a clear match-winner ... and you just ... you just gave it away.

You have a more orthodox team now but not a better team. Not for me.

Would you agree we've improved our defense and rebounding, and made our team less vulnerable to big lineups?

You were going to run every single one of those big lineups right off the court.

Well, we still will.  We now have a better rebounder to start the break.

If running is a concern, I don't think there's much question that Green is, at the very least, an equal athlete to Granger.

Respectfully disagree.

I was going more with the expression than the literal sense of it.

That you were the team that was going to dictate terms because your strengths were better than their strengths (the big lineups). They'll play your style of play because they are not good enough to stop you from doing it.

You are not worried about them because you can force the game to your strengths and you will win that game. They won't.
