big men

[John Lyell]

I assume Mark meant athletic/mobility wise. Which he is correct. I am getting the feeling Perkins may not be here much longer and will be part of some package. Hopefully we can land Chris Wilcox.

Marion and Stoudemire are top 10 players in the league. But I think you're doing a disservice to Gomes, Perk and Big Al to say they're not in the same class as Diaw. I like the guy and he fit that system perfectly, but he's no superstar.
