Suns' searching a backup center

by **kibaxx7** on Sat Jan 15, 2005 8:41 am

I got a Suns Dynasty and now that Hunter is my backup center (he's coming for a 20 points-10 rebounds game for me), he is injured. I don't see Voskuhl taking his place. So I'm searching for a good backup center. Post your vote here, tell me what all of you think:

Eddy Curry
Erick Dampier
Marcus Camby
Elden Campbell
Dikembe Mutombo
Brian Grant
Stromile Swift
Nazr Mohammed
Mike Sweetney
Tony Battie
Kelvin Cato
Samuel Dalembert

Suggestions?

I don't think you should look for a backup in starters.

Campbell, Mutombo, Grant, Swift, Sweetney are in the bench.
Cato and Battie are switching places in the lineup.

I say go for dalembert. I just cant think of the suns with someone like Swift added into the mix. Go for a guy rated in the 50s-62 maybe. Keep it realistic.

I'd check the free agent pool first. If Hunter's only going to be out for a little while, you don't need a great centre to replace him. That way, you don't have to sacrifice any of the players in your rotation to plug the hole in the middle.

Good Centers in the Free Agent List

Jelani McCoy (Salary of 870K, 1y)
Cezary Trybanski (Salary of 695K, 1y)
Mengke Bateer (Salary of 695, 1y)

What about McCoy?

take mccoy or t.

If you can sign Mutombo as a bench player for a couple of years, I think that would be nice option; enhancing on the defensive end... (y)

Out of those players, I'd take McCoy too.

Yeap McCoy, hes a decent shot blocker and has some athletisim

by **kibaxx7** on Sun Jan 16, 2005 11:35 am

Right now I'm playing my game against the Mavericks... if Voskuhl gets 15+ points (I don't think so), I will keep him as backup center. If he gets 15-, I will get McCoy (Y)

Edit: If I sign Jelani I will be over the salary cap

Finished game over Mavericks, 105-95 W.

well voskuhl will only get 15+ if you feed the ball to him...since well you control the team

I think Doleac, Mihm, Foster, or Loren Woods would make great additions whilst being moderately realistic.. although I can't imagine any of the clubs associated with those players agreeing to any trade u'd put on the table in real life (unless it was blatantly not in your favour)

by **kibaxx7** on Thu Jan 20, 2005 10:24 am

Note: I simulated and they accepted this trade:

nice deal Barry great 3pt shooter and mutombo is an upgrade from outlaw (Y)

sorry to bump this thread up again, but it was the only trade thread i could find and i didn't want to start a new thread.

im trying to get rid of steve francis in my dynasty for someone else. maybe a small forward or a point. anyone have any ideas?

What happened to Keon Clark?

Clark was released by the Suns... long time ago...

by **Sonic98** on Wed Jan 26, 2005 3:04 pm

Man I don't know what happened with that guy. He showed so much potential in Sac. I thought he was at least gonna be another Stromile Swift.

by **Bill Russell** on Wed Jan 26, 2005 4:35 pm

How come, if Swift came after him?

by **Metsis** on Wed Jan 26, 2005 4:54 pm

Clark played a phenominal year in Toronto before signing with the Sactown... He wasn't shown the big bucks so he's taking a year off... I don't get that... I would think the guy would want to play first and foremost.

Keon Clark had much to offer, but no one was willing to show him the money. He's currently a free agent or atleast that's the last I've heard of him. Don't be surprised if he doesn't play this year as he has made it clear that he wants the big bucks.

I did not mean he would be like Swift. I mean looking at Swift now that's how I thought Clark would be.
