    He has had back issues in the past. But the Nets did pay him $37 million and the Rockets matched. It must be something with the Rockets organization that he doesn't like because he never reported to practice and refused a physical apparently.

    I'm fine with this. A good player for the minimum? Hell yeah!

    And if it doesn't work out, who cares?

    Exactly. It's very low risk.

    He's a good big man who can run the floor and provide spacing on offense, hitting a corner 3 and giving AD room to work. The only reason we are able to get him is because of injury concerns otherwise great addition. Motiejunas acquisition + small ball lineups will make it harder for Asik and Ajinca to see the floor, thankfully.

    Soooo, if we don't have to trade for a big, what's our move at SF? You know this front office is dying to make a serious play this year, and only 1 game out of the playoffs. Is there a guy worth making a real play for?

    I guess it would come down to which SF we could get in a trade for some combination of Asik, Ajinca, Evans, or Frazier. Which is probably not a good one, if any. Think they could be content with Evans seeing time at SF.

    Unless they float a first rounder in said packages...hopefully not.

    Other teams wanted him too, so that is good to hear. Also they had so many guards they could use another big.

    Cant see how he will play C.
    He is too light and coming off a serious back injury.

    Backs bad but he's a big guy. Not too light.

    He played center at times last season, after the back injury. He pasted his physical with the Nets, so I think his issue is more of the right fit. Pelicans are desperate for someone with his skill set that can play the 4 or 5.

    He's listed at 220 pounds.
    That's light for a 7 footer.
    He weighs what Davis did coming into the league.

    He fits a lot better with what the Pelicans have been doing offensively and defensively though.

    I wouldn't expect him to be used exclusively as a center or anything. But he is a much for cohesive fit for this team then Ajinca and Asik have been.
