Geez,

Glass is half filled huh??

I'll take "another fairly mediocre tweener" and his 16 pts (granted not last
year: read Iverson) and 8 rebounds per game over a three year 5 million plus
salary that is hurt often and can't play defense.

As far as an "underweight rookie" at Center. Riddle me this do you want
another season of Brickowski, Hamer, and Lister in the middle?
