Fesenko??

Because most team don't data mine. (Note that Houston--who does data mine--came the closest last year, but decided understandably on Yao Ming, Chuck Hayes, Brad Miller, and (briefly) Hasheem Thabeet.)

And because while big men who can defend (or disrupt) are in short supply, too many teams want offense--or want a player who has the potential to consistently play both. Even Utah might possibly have multiple 4/5s who produce on both ends of the court--if Big Al can learn to help, if Favors can learn to post, and if Kanter builds on his Euroleague experience.

I actually like posts that have been "edited" as it shows that the writer is thinking things through...
 
The only scenario I'd want Fes back would be if this was still the Deron-Korver-AK-Boozer-Memo team and we needed to go through the aging Lakers with (Bynum, Gasol or even Howard). I'd say yes because of Fes' superb defensive ability.

In any other situation, the answer is no because you can't depend on the guy. Can't depend on him to be healthy, can't depend on him to be prepared and focused, can't depend on him to make a free throw, and can't depend on him to stay on the floor because of his incredible foul per minute binges.

We've got a bunch of young guys and the future of this franchise is dependant on them learning how to work hard and how to be professionals. We just don't need Fes.
 
He has absolutely no basketball talent. Simply a big body that gets in the way, and the ability to foul hard.

Somewhere there was a great stat on how much better the Jazz were defensively. It is surprising that you don't hear teams going for him when there's a lack of big men

About as much relevance as the fact the Jazz were 19-14 when McLeod started.

Mark Eaton

Eaton blocked a ton of shots and could play more than a few minutes without getting winded. Eaton was DPOY two times IINM. Comparing Eaton with Fes is like saying Almond could have been as good as Jordan because he was a great scorer.
 
As he made enough cash during his Jazz tenure to secure lifetime cigarette and vodka supply in Ukraine, he'll probably call it a career and retire for good. I have been told that he is leaning to join fellow ukrainian social activist group Femen, who may well be a better fit to utilize his talents.

good locker-room guy, you can't teach height, he's a big body, his per 48 stats from his top 10 games last year were amazing, he's tall, if he was in the draft this year he would have been a first rounder, ask Carmelo what he thinks of Fesenko....Fesenko?

which of these lines is his agent using these days?

Anthony made a similar consideration about Kirilenko when he was selected for the All-Star game 2004! He is fu--ing arrogant!

The defensive numbers are quite good. There is no disputing the fact that he makes it harder for teams to score. If we had not drafted Kanter I would be all for re-signing him. Once the big name big men are off the market Fes will probably get like a two million a year offer. I could see the Lakers (if they have any cap room) or Rockets doing so. Denver looks like they will need a center as well.
