As a result, the team is left with what appears to be a carb-conscious approach at the most difficult spot on the court to fill. Mark Blount is 7 feet.

SLAM Online — ... But to me, this seems like an unbelievably short-sided stance to take by NBA teams. Let’s say you’re a GM or owner of a team. (For our purposes, let’s use the Miami Heat, who apparently have no big men on their roster.) ...

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 6 - Shawn Marion
droppingdimes.gearlive.com 8/27/2008 — Shawn Marion got his wish last season when he was traded to the Miami Heat.
