Do We Really? Everybody says that, but let's take a look at the "Centers" on the teams that got to the 2nd rd of the Playoffs (In the East):
Bos: Perkins / ????
Clev: BigZ, Now-Shaq
Atl: Horford/Pachulia
Orl: Superman/Gortat
Hmmm, maybe you're right, but I'm confident in Dyess' and Kwame's ability to contain and control all of them save Superman and a motivated-healthy Shaq.

Exactly!!! So why just, Get 1-To-Get 1???

He also would solidify a young group surrounding him and does not bring the mental baggage that Rip brings. Let us not forget, this team (including CV and BG) still is searching for a leader. I have no doubt, Brand will be wearing a sticker reading: Team Leader.
In short, if I was JD, I would go for it. |
Ok, that wrap up confused me......U-N-or-Out?
