08:55 AM ET 01.12 | Stan Van Gundy knows what may be available to him among big men, and he doesn't much care for the list. Magic GM Otis Smith has mentioned some names to Van Gundy, none of which stuck out. Van Gundy says he'd rather see the team acquire an impact player in the frontcourt -- if anyone at all -- instead of picking up a big body who won't necessarily improve the team. "The names that I have heard that might be available, that Otis has run by me, Malik [Allen] is better than those guys," Van Gundy said, referring to the 32-year-old Magic reserve.

Van Gundy is right, if big men were avalible the Heat would have a big man. Decent big men are hard to find.

two straight 59 win seasons says you are full of poop.

What are you talking about J@Kc****?

If you play a hurt PG in the finals who didn't do a darn thing to get you there, pretty much sums up how stupid you are.

And since you agree with him you must be stupid too. Next time know what you are talking about FOOL, before you speak.

He should be focusing on coaching the one that he has.

DH needs to stop jumping at everything he sees trying to block it and stay on the floor.

Right now he is young and full of energy he can play 40+ mins easily.

Him and his brother say dumb stuff time to time, Jeff is joking so I know its all in fun, but I am not so sure about SVG, I really think he is stupid.

When he says the guys available aren't as good as Malik Allen, who's on the Orlando bench, Van Gundy is saying a lot, because Malik Allen stinks!
