I would have to agree on this one. Is he worth $7M a year ?  Hell no. But 
is Macilvaine worth $5M, or Juwan Howard worth $10 ?  No .  Geiger adds a 
huge defensive body inside and he does have a good jumper.  He has played 
very well in Divac's absence. Imagine Geiger & Andrew banging on Shaq & Zo 
and wearing them down.  Add a 2 like Corey Benjamin or Jeff Sheppard as a 
scorer besides Ron & 'Toine, move Minor or Knight for  Lorenzen Wright or a 
draft pick to pick up a Nazr Mohammed,  plus a healthy Kenny look out.  We 
do need a point backup as Kenny seems to be injury prone the last few 
years.  I still like Shammgod as a sleeper even though he has played very 
little this year.  I think in 2 years he will be an excellent point, he 
just came out 2 years too early.
