B/c if JAV goes down with injury, who is next if no Dwight? AD? Ok, who is backing him up at center?
You don't have to play them consistent minutes, but I'm ok with having both.

This.
I thought they were forcing the ball to him in the post too much, and he was a bit soft when he got it. |
yup.. but that's kinda his game.. we all said the same thing about Pau..
we were spoiled by shaq |
I always thought the calls of Pau being soft were out of bounds. He was a finesse player but he didn't shy away from contact in the post. He was just tall and lanky and guys could get under him for leverage.
I also think Kobe understood how to utilize his bigs better than Lebron. Kobe could dominate a game entirely from the perimeter and midrange if he had to. He'd have a counter for every one of the opponents adjustments.
Tex Winter once said people don't understand how much Kobe did for Shaq. Thats one of the greatest basketball minds of all time saying that. Then when you look at Lebrons career, bigs have usually struggled next to him. |

Your eyes weren't deceiving you. Anthony Davis registered 17 post-up plays last night, per NBA/Synergy tracking. That's a career-high for the 8-year pro. |

It makes one wonder. AD had a record of post ups, unfortunately it isn’t 2002.

They could have replaced one with a current center. They didn’t have to double down on the 1990’s.

| He was settling for way too much. When he was aggressive they were blowing the whistle in his favor every single time. |
