It's hard for me to swallow his excuse when he was the GM in Golden State for years and in Dallas for 6 years. If it had been a priority, he would've found a center somehow; it's not like Nelson has ever shown any hesitance to swing the big trade. He didn't even need to find a "dominant" center, merely a servicable one. Just look at who he went after when the great Bradley experiment failed-- Raef LaFrentz. It's very obvious that Nelson has dedicated his coaching career to finding a way AROUND having a good--or simply servicable-- traditional center.
I just think the logic to this article is backwards; that is, Nellie's never had a dominant center because of his belief in and practice of Nellieball. Not the other way around.
