re: Trade Scenario: Pelicans acquire Rudy Gay, Courtney Lee and Jordan Mickey

One thing that stood out in the "Gentry Playbook" highlight vid people linked to over the summer was the center being able to either pass or attack from about 10 feet out. It stood out because we didn't have any centers that could do that. That's something David Lee should be able to do, no? Might make a good Ryno replacement

While playing him next to Davis would be nice on offense, David Lee is 32 and as bad as Anderson on defense. Not much of an answer beyond the next 6 months.

And here's another question- if they think Davis will be a 5 more frequently, isn't he the passing big? Remember that Lowe article from a couple years ago- using Davis from the elbow to facilitate a la Dirk. Seems like that is the plan, even though Davis has had a rough go of it in that role this year.
