lol. hes got the skill and size to be a decent center. Players develop at different speeds so yeah if hes at minimum whats the point of not bringing him in?

yea except that he posses no basketball skills at all. If he develops as fast as he runs hell be a decent backup by the time he hits 50

Theyre doing it because he has substantial money owed to him and theyre going after Marc Gasol.

Do you think we would have done that to Gallo or Wilson?

What, visual evidence of him moving/playing on court, in the NBA against NBA competition doesn't help make a legit f*cking argument?

Obviously not and obviously he hast shown much, but thats not to say he is not worth the risk for us for the potential return.

There was never a potential return with Thabeet. He has no talent.

I see your point. It's not like Yao, for example, had a whole lot more speed or hops than what was shown there. Less hops, for sure.

I'll leave it at "no skills" and "do not want".

there are things that can be taught. He has size and some athleticism. Why not bring him in with a minimum deal. Because he sucks? Sure but he has some potential. We kept Andy Rautins a whole year and he had no potential.
