Big Man?

Especially after the KT trade, I know that everyone (including me) is rather perturbed by the lack of an answer to Tim Duncan and some of the other dominant post players.

I hear various names bandied about, but I haven't seen Scot Pollard discussed. Call me crazy, but:

vet minimum, so very little financial exposure
decent defender, and certainly not afraid to be aggressive (but I would argue that he's not 'dirty')

These seem to be the two principal considerations for the Suns right now, and I think he might fit the bill.

I know he comes with downsides (injury-prone, potential attitude issues), but given the rather desperate need - wouldn't he be worth the almost-no-risk? If he doesn't work out, he cost nothing, and he takes up bench space like all the others.

Just a thought.

Hmm..

Well, one thing's for sure. He'd instantly unseat Nash for having the worst haircut on the team. :) (Although, I don't think Nash's is particularly all that bad these days, really).

I am also perturbed about the trade, but I decided to mostly defer my perturbed-ness until we see how this plays out. I'm still not ready to believe that Steve Kerr is really crazy enough to expect Sean Marks to be the only other center we need besides Amare. Even working within Sarver's spending rules I don't believe that. He's up to something. I just know it.
