    Why? he had a good season

    he didn't have a favorable matchup againt Howard but I dont no a player that does. Z's never been a banger and never will, his games pick and roll, mid range jumpers and second chance points. If Z did retire who would be our center?

    He doesn't have a favorable matchup with any other big man in the league, thats the problem.

    Z's in the top 3rd as far as centers in the league, definently not the worst.

    He's not good enough to put CLE over the hump. He's been here 10 years and 6 of those with Lebron, no championships.

    We have to get better at the Center position.

    We need a widebody that is hard to push around under the basket that can get offensive rebounds and throw the hammer down when in close instead of taking jumpshots.

    Anyone who can get easy buckets. Even Varejao is becoming a better offensive option than Z, with the ability to catch and finish in traffic...but still resorts to some ridiculous spin moves and layups. Shaq's 60% FGs are pretty appealing, a guy like Josh Smith with the ability to finish, who put in the right offense could easily get 18 ppg at 50% FG, would be pretty nice as well (and obviously a better long term option than Z or Shaq).

    It's going to be just a maddening offseason and regular season. We can speculate all we want, but nothing matters until next summer.

    I agree we need to get better, but whats the alternative? If we get shaq were good but if not who do you suggest? I cant think of a center available other than Shaq that would be an upgrade over Z
