    I agree he is vastly overpaid, but he's not terrible. I'd love to have to a legit 7 footer that isn't an oaf. Who knows, a change of scenery might do him good. Besides, if we're going to take on a talent like Iggy for our trash, we're going to have to eat a bad contract. How many years is left on his deal anyway?

    i keep reading overpaid, i mean, mac's getting 23 mil for chilling at home playing his PS3. and you're complaining about a legit 7 footer getting 10+ rebounds and points per... i don't get it. :confused:

    My thought exactly. Dalembert would be an asset in my opinion. He would be great on this team. If we traded for someone making $23 mill who gave us 5 points on 2 shots it's more production than we are getting from mac right now.

    Plus the 15% trade kicker.

    Honestly my only issue with Dalembert and Iggy is figuring out how to get them on the floor. I would be surprised if Dalembert's defensive contributions matched Hayes, and it would be nice to be able to keep giving Andersen minutes.

    For some reason, he plays well when AI plays and he's does not when AI doesn't play.

    a 7 footer who blocks shots, rebounds, hits a high % of his fg's as well as his free throws. i'll take him and pay that 15% trade kicker anyday. when yao comes back, he would be a great back up to yao and a more than capable fill in when yao is down.

    Speights is on my fantasy team, so I'm hating this.

    I think his playing has been influenced by the Haiti situation. Everyone in the Nba is talented ( on different levels of course) but not all play with heart. Now though Dalembert is playing with heart. Btw we should trade t-mac for iggy and dalembert. Then if needed we'll trade him at the deadline. ( Brooks, Dalembert, Scola for Chris Paul?)

    Some of you guys way over value our current players when it comes to trades. Dalembert plays one of the biggest needs this team has I love Chuck but come on we have a guy who is 6'6" as our starting center this season.

    If he doesn't work out his contract expires next season anyways.
