    Say LA bulks up 15-20 lbs in the offseason, could we start him at C? Liking how Hickson is playing, and think he would be a good starting pf on our team in a situation like this.

    hickson/rhino?
    LA/zeller?

    Yes,  L.A. is the future at center for the Blazers.

    beal long gone at this point, unless you take instead of barnes, lamb robinson good ideas, and resign priz, the point is we have more options if LA got some muscle and played at C

    I do not see LA being able to bulk up much

    he's more like PF of the present. i dont see why hickson can't back him up or play C next to him. he and hickson can guard any C in the league aside from bynum and howard (and those guys are why we have a physical thrylla)

    Neither L.A. or Hickson could endure a whole season at the pivot spot. They arent built for it. Spot time maybe,but fulltime ? Absolutely not.

    LA hates playing center as he has stated many times before. And even though Hickson is the only player out there with life he has alot to prove before I would commit to him being the starting PF.

    Aldridge is not a diva. Dwight Howard is a diva. Allen Iverson was a diva. Kobe Bryant can be a diva at times.... LA is not a Center but he can play there at times if the situation demands it. If we have someone who can protect him inside then he ...

    Ibaka is a much better everything since he was two years ago. He even has the sweetest nicknames since The Big Shamrock, Shaq Fu. I mean Serge Protector, Iblocka and Air Congo. Dope.

    Matter of time for Blake Griffin. I don''t like him, but to come back from an injury of that nature, and still have your athleticism is amazing.
