When people brought up his name a couple of days ago, I thought it was Whitey! lol

Damn autocoreect. Whithey

Dell is like a dude at a restaurant who got best meal in the place at a discount then turns to the waiter and goes "oh by the way it's my birthday, I want the free dessert.....and sing me a song."

Is this dude serious?!? In Dell I trust.

I'm confused where is race pointed out

Incredible offseason for the Pels. Tyreke & Whithey are 2 pretty solid pickups. Especially if Whithey can provide some good solid rebounding, I think he is a steal.

The Supervillain takes what he wants. Shinn's efforts to contain him only made him more vengeful.

PG Jrue Holiday
CG Tyreke Evans
PG Pierre Jackson
C Jeff Withey
* And a motivated Eric Gordon.

This is one damn good offseason!

In a world where Zeller goes #5 how in the heck did Withey not go in the first round?

With all these additions, this really helps our bench or 2nd unit, Anderson, Evans, Rivers, Smith, and probably Aminu.

WoJo tweets are gospel. It's just as good as a press release.

If I remember correctly, he used to play volleyball, which explains why he's so good at tracking the ball and timing his blocks. It also explains why he has such quick explosion off the ground. Really, he was one of my favorite prospects coming out of the draft this year. I think he is an absolute STEAL in the early-mid 2nd round, and as a throw in for Robin Lopez? You can't do any better than that.... This trade was perfect.

Now all we have to do is sign D. Wright.

Cool

Seriously... This guy is going to go AT Davis and push him every practice... That alone is worth it. He'll help make AD better.

You are correct about the volleyball thing. We honestly did get a steal. We got Withey as a throw in and PJax via trade but in the 2nd rounder. IMHO those 2 guys should have gone in the first round. If PJax was 2 inches taller it's arguable he goes top 10.

Question
Who will start at the 5 and do you think Withey Defense will translate right away on a NBA level

I wish Withey etablishes himself as a defensive force, runs the floor and jump to catch alley oops passes. Can he start and get Lopez minutes?
I like Smitty off the bench, that gives us some firepower.

Can someone explain how much money we have left with the exceptions and what not? A bit confused...

Haha I'm too slow !

Oh man I'm soooooo happy that we got this guy! This guy will be a solid player in this league!

Brewer or Copeland and I think we are golden.

Withey is going to have to get used to the physicality of the NBA, same like Davis last year. Is it possible he starts Day 1? Sure. But I just think the experience is going to give Smith the edge but you never know. I agree with HDP I'd rather Smith off the bench.

Great point. He absolutely dominated Davis in the National Championship game. If I remember correctly Davis went 1/10 from the field?

RT @ESPNStatsInfo: A look at big men available in the NBA draft and why Nerlens Noel and Jeff Withey are the best of the bunch: http://es.pn/11EJasr

Whithey shot 70% from the free throw line last season.

100% yes.

I go small forward, small forward now with the cap space and exception. I like Withey better than any of those vet options outside of Dalembert.

Sign Dorell Wright and Aminu. Bring back Amundson as 5th big.

Done and done.

Simply amazing what Dell has transformed this roster into in such a short time!

Tom Benson stepped up to the plate with the money, Dell Demps knocked this offseason out of the park with 5 mill left for a SF... Hey Monty, your up.

Here is a full article for ya'll

Hmmmmm, so he's pretty much a tad bit more athletic Omir Asik?

I can dig it!!

Of the 10 big men evaluated using these metrics, Withey is the only one who didn’t rank in the bottom four of any of the six categories. Noel is the only one to rank in the top two of three different categories.

Wow.

I like Dorell Wright, but long term do you think he is better than Joe Ingles? How much would Wright Ingles and Aminu cost?

I'd guess that Smith will start at C with Anderson still coming off the bench and Davis will probably split his time between PF & C.

I prefer Dorell Wright rather than Ingles mostly because I believe DM is our long term solution not the guy we sign and I'm good with that for now.

DEMPS!!!!!

I remember talking this guy up 2 years ago. Nice to see us grab him. I see him as a Joel Pryzbilla player. Great great defense who will grow with AD. He will be a starter for us this season.

We are loaded with current talent and future potential at all slots now. Just add a veteran SF to hold the spot for miller and the puzzle is complete. What a flawless offseason for Dell. I think I am more excited about Withey than I am Reke. :) I guess because the Reke excitement has been here for a bit. But still I think Withey could develop to be a full time starter next to Davis.

You literally took the words right out of my mouth. Wright and Aminu would be amazing. However, I was thinking Lance Thomas instead of Amundson, but I'd be fine with either, to be honest.

Withey can jump !!

Is he NBA ready?

Our 1st Rounder next year looks less valuable...(sucks for 76ers)
