Re: Center

I agree with this post.  I for one think that Campbell would round out
the starting five and be able to contribute.  Also with his experiance
in the league he will get a fair shake on foul calls unlike our other
young centers.

Plus in two years a 7' center at $7 mil. per season should be very
tradeable compared to M. Gieger at $8 mil(?) per season.
