With the recent trade of Tyson Chandler, the West has become noticeably weaker at the center spot. Now that Shaq has gone east and Yao is out for the season, is it too far of a stretch to say that Kaman could make the All-star team this year? I asked my dad about this and he told me that Bynum now has the starting center spot all locked up but he also thinks that Al Thornton plays power forward for the clips. Heck if not Kaman could Camby snag a roster spot with his gaudy stats? I'm really interested in knowing what you'll think. (By you all, i mean Mr. Steve Perrin haha jk).

I've been reading this blog for about 2 years now and haven't really decided to say anything but these long summer days are eating away at me. Anyways one thing thats been eating at me are the many citizens of this blog giving up on Al Thornton. The man had a very respectable rookie year, finishing in the top 3 or 4 i believe for the ROY voting in a very deep draft class. I don't quite understand the disappointment of his sophmore season. Sure he made some mistakes but I still considered him a bright spot in the past season. All i'm trying to say is Al is a big part of this team's future and I believe he can improve upon his defense to become a more complete player. I understand a glue guy would be nice to have coming off the bench or filling the starting line-up if certain match-ups present themselves, but Al Thornton is a flat out player. All i'm saying is Al is a big part of this team's future and he's still young enough to improve upon some of the short comings he experienced last season. Don't give up on the guy my friends.
