Absolutely. DeAndre Jordan is more athletic and explosive... but a guy like Wallace can dominate the inside at a championship level. I had to go look this up to be sure, but Ben Wallace has more defensive win shares than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. He's 14th in NBA history. The guy averaged 12-13 boards and 3 blocks a game in his prime on some very good Pistons teams, and won a title.

Whoa. Whoa. Win shares do not matter. /ArrowDouche

Wallace was good because he was allowed to body guys all game and he was one of the strongest NBA players ever. The stuff he did then would be instant fouls today.

Chauncey Billups admits as such, their physical talents would all be fouls today.

BWillie · 07-03-2015, 05:41 PM

Whoever is Sacramento's GM is a complete idiot. Whatever they are doing is not going to work. Rudy Gay is a human wasteland. He can score, I get it, but he doesn't help a team win and he's horribly inefficient. Cousins is the best player on their roster, but he's a stat guy. For a 6'11'' post guy he too is one of the most inefficient big men in the league. 46% FG from a Center, who shoots no 3's is not good. He's also a mediocre to below average rim protector for his size who also won't age well. Then, probably just to piss of George Karl even more you go and bring in another headcase in Rajon Rondo.

I mean what the **** are they doing? They might be better, but you might as well just blow up that team and start over. I hope Ben McLemore gets traded, because that team is a dumpster fire.

Cavs vs. Spurs. We don't even need to play the season out. As long as GS does not get the benefit of having every team they face play without their top player(s) I'm good.

KevB · 07-04-2015, 12:56 PM

The Southwest Division is completely ridiculous.

Spurs
Rockets
Grizzlies
Mavericks
Pelicans

Yikes. The third best team in that division alone would be a 3 seed in the entire Eastern conference.
