I don't see what the fuss is over Duncan either. We just need a center
that's decent. I don't have much faith in Battie being a legitimate center.
Pots is a clutz. Build the team around Walker and Pierce. I would shop for a
point guard. I know it's old, but we do need a point more than a center.
Their certainly easier to come by.
