Great trade

6'9" is about perfect size to play the 4.  I don't
know where you got these ideas that Big Baby is a 5;
maybe in a pinch.  But he's power forward material all
the way.

As for Al, the 5 right now is probably his best
position.  If we ever start playing like Phoenix, he'd
be a perfect fit there.  Plus, his lateral quickness
being a question mark, he really can't stay with any
of the quick fours on the perimeter (which is why
players like Dalembert, Camby, Kirilenko are so needed
on this team).

As for Antoine, he was 6'8" and a 'tweener' by choice,
not by height.

As for taking a flyer on a 7 footer in the second
round, that's what idiot GMs with no scouting budget
do.  Those guys hardly ever amount to
anything...remember Darren Morningstarr?  Nice
muttonchops, but worthless otherwise...  I'd rather
have players than 7 footers, but that's just me.
