we definetly need a second center. As much as i like hollins - he has issues staying on the court for more than 10 minutes with 6 fouls and he needs a few years to mature and a few dozen pounds of muscle to be real nba center material. its not really a damp or gortat thing - i think we were missing a real backup center since we moved diop. playing bass at center or moving dirk to c with bass on 4 which we did a lot last year is really not a good solution. gortat is a solid backup center who could start versus maybe 2 or 3 other centers in the league because he has a matchup advantage vs them as compared to damp. gortat also has pretty good hands which if kidd resigngs will be a nice addition because we will get a few easy dunks (we are probably one of the teams in the nba with the least dunks) and layups. kidd basically cant throw the rock to damp unless damp has noone within 5 or 6 feet of him else he'll fumble it away....
