I will say though, this team NEEDS a big man. I feel the success of "small ball" was some fools gold, in the sense that we are always one injury away from having Zero quality big men.

Quality big men are scarce as it is. And we'll need to get one at a discount. How?

Hakeem Olajuwon Asks LeBron James Critics to ‘Shut Up’


Hakeem Olajuwon famously became LeBron James’ tutor in the post, and has become an unabashed LBJ fan throughout the process. The Dream had a message for the haters after The King won his first NBA title last night, per Fox Sports: “Now, all the critics can shut up,’ Olajuwon said. Olajuwon calls James his ‘little brother.’ The legendary center worked out with James last summer at his ranch outside Houston, showing him post moves. Olajuwon lives half the year in Amman, Jordan. That’s where he was for Game 5, watching on television when it started at 4 a.m. local time Friday. ‘I’m just so happy for him,’ Olajuwon said. ‘It’s so well deserved. It’s so special. I feel so proud to have contributed to his career.’ James won his third MVP award during the regular season. Now that he has added one championship, Olajuwon believes there will be more. ‘He’s an iconic superstar, and he’s becoming a legend,’ said Olajuwon, who won titles with Houston in 1994 and 1995 and both times was Finals MVP. ‘He will only get better. I think he will win many more championships.’ Olajuwon said he plans to call James ‘as soon as possible’ to congratulate him. He talked to James three times early in the playoffs when Olajuwon was in Texas before he returned to Jordan. ‘I just tried to tell him to rely on some of the things we had gone over,’ Olajuwon said. ‘There were so many times when it looked like they might not get out of a series, but he had that determination and confidence level to overcome that.’”

From the draft. We have to pray that either Festus or Melo fall to us. Melo can be a solid starter but I doubt he'll fall to us. Festus can be a starter for us but most scouts project him as a solid backup throughout the career.

I agree that the small ball lineup was a bit of fools gold but it's all about matchups. There aren't many teams that have quality centers that cause problems for us.

agree, but real flexibility for us would be having the roster that allows us to play big or small.
