I've always appreciated the arguments for JS at the 4...

MY take...JS is the better player and certainly more impactful (when his head is screwed on straight).  However, JS as the full-time SF is problematic, not on offense but more so on defense on the perimter and trying to get thru screens...too many times he gets blown by his man or his man  is WIDE open because he is digging into the paint...It's not natural for him on the perimter because he wants to block shots and leaves his man.  Can he get better if he is there full time?...maybe.  I guess time will tell if any trades are made.

Marvin for Pryz works great.

Imagine, a 7-1 defensive Center playing next to Horf.

Having Camby wouldn't be bad either.  Pay the money. That would definitely be Marvin/Mo for Camby... but at the end of the day, he's still pulling down rebounds and defending.

The day we can trade Marvin for a 23 year old center who was invited to participate on the 2010 olympic team for the USA, well I'll just agree with Walter and say that if the Wizards come offering McGee or Orlando comes offering Dwight Howard, etc. then we pull the trigger.

It is much easier to say "we should just go grab that 23 year old center from the USA National Basketball team whose NBA franchise obviously doesn't realize he is a present value at well under $2M per season and doesn't recognize the long-term value of an athletic big man" than it is to get that kind of deal done.

Throw in Teague and a 1st and they are still laughing at us.

I disagree.  While it may not be that McGee is available, although MW, Teague, 1st rder would tempt ME if I had McGee and was rebuilding, we can find a better center than MW is a Pf.  With the likelihood that Horford and JS are together better at the 4 and 3 respectively, THAT is the question.

With Dre and Camby we become a much better team.
