Some options:

1. This team doesn't have a center, and will not be able to make much of a playoff run without one. Eric Gordon has become an expendable piece on this team and Ryan Anderson is making big bucks at come off the bench. I think at some point in time a move has to be made with one of those guys to shore up center, or this team has 1st round exit written all over it.

2.Do you see us A) going small ball with Davis at the 5 and just run and gun and take our lumps on defense against bigger lineups, or B) sticking traditional with Stietsma/Smith at center and having Anderson off the bench. I'm all for A but I really doubt Monty's got the balls to try something like this, given his disdain for anything that will lead to less defense.

If you have any other good topics for us to argue about please add them to the list.

Also mods, bring back Jester to breathe some life into this corpse of a board.

Anthony Davis/Jason Smith is pretty much the same as Tim Duncan/Tiago Splitter.

Either Davis or Anderson will be on the court at all times imo. At certain points though, yes they will play together. It just depends on the matchup. If we are playing a team with a dominant offensive center, we will see more of Smith and Steisma. It is our main weakness, but something we can overcome. As Davis gets bigger and stronger over the next couple of years, this issue will ease up.

Yes. With Stiesma coming in to take some punishment down low and pick up the fouls. Withey isnt ready to play yet obviosuly. I like J Smiht and AD as a combo too because they are both really nice PnR players.

And I have lurked this board for a loonnnnnng time and yes i agree...bring back the Jester

Davis ain't Duncan on D. Not yet, and maybe not ever.

Im all for trading the sesame street character. I feel like for one season we can rock these guys we have presently at center.

As far as we can tell he got banned for arguing with everyone, even people he agreed with. He's doing hard time on PelicansReport.

Davis will be equal to or greater than Timmy D defensively, and soon. More athletic and better hops (and I love Timmy).

I'm not sure a traditional center who plays extended minutes is necessary. C by committee and small ball can contend, IMO

I just went to PR and told Jester to get his arse back here. Apparently they censor all cussing there
