Diop >< Nenad Krstic

[HMFFL]

OKC just signed Nenad Krstic to the following contract:

Nenad Krstic could be in a Thunder uniform before the New Year, and the 7-foot center will be a much-needed boost to what has been an underachieving frontline. In Krstic, Presti is bringing in a low-risk, high-reward player who, at age 25, can help now and in the future. With a salary believed to be worth $4.7 million in the first season, $5.2 million the second and $5.6 million in year No. 3, Krstic’s contract is a relatively cheap deal. The move allows the Thunder to be more competitive over the final 50-plus games while maintaining the all so important financial flexibility its constructed for the future.

Good price compared to what we are paying Diop. I like this for OKC and Krstic should put up good numbers with them.

It's a relatively cheap deal for a center who has "rare" skill (scoring in the post). All depends on if he's healthy though. A healthy Krstic would have made a nice inside/outside combo with Dirk, but defensively they would be bad.

That is better than the non production that mavs are currently getting from Diop. another failed FA Signing.
