not much, he signed with Portland.


No Portland on his list as of 1 pm ain't a good sign--but he has a blue check mark!

Yeah for sure. I have all the confidence in the world that Theis can average a double double no problem!!!

Kanter would have helped. Especially with injury issues. Danny is probably waiting to see if AB gets bought out. Which would be a mistake. Hes cooked

Yeah he would've but his defense is atrocious. Robin Lopez might get bought out too.

AB is interesting...I didn't think of him. He certainly has declined though.

Theis just really can't handle big centers down low, however. The C's really need some AB (as in Aron Baynes) insurance more than anything.

I’m still on the Z-bo bandwagon. Plenty of playoff experience, good rebounder who can still score a bit

Question is he still physically able to play? I'm not convinced he is.

I’m not either but I’m hoping in short bursts on a contender is the right situation for him

Really happy we didn't land Kanter. Guy can defend at all and he's another potential locker room issue guy. He just runs his mouth too much.

Again would love Gortat.

I believe that Baynzy will be healthy and ready to go for playoffs ... but Robin Lopez would be nice to have around to bang his brother and Gasol

We need a shooter most of all ... a Craig Hodges/Eddie House type, Lin would've been a decent get but Craps all over him aft trading away so much depth

Any Jr Smith takers ha ha
Have always disliked him very much, but streaky enough to win a game in a playoff series i.e. Gerald Green

How many of those tries with aging big men have failed for us since the P J Brown success? Sheed and both O'Neals start the list.

Anyone we sign is essentially for garbage time minutes and to spell Horford and Baynes in the regular season. Nobody we grab now is going to be a significant playoff contributor. Bit of a different scenario from the three names you mention

Please no! We need a big who can get rebounds amd defend other bigs. Z-bo is pretty much washed.

Monroe was a failed signing even on that basis, although he's not particularly old.

Monroe was actually pretty good in the regular season down the stretch for us, even picked up a cigar or two if I remember correctly. Totally unplayable in the postseason though.

If anyone we pick up at this juncture can give us what Monroe did in the regular season last year I’d be more than content with that.

We need to get someone on that 2-yr deal.

Ugh...Jermaine O **** Neal. I swear his two years of injuries cost us dearly.

Hated Jermaine's old man game. Dude sucked. Yes he tried but he sucked.

Troy Murphy, Shaq. Busts here from age purposes. Not Shaq's fault he was hurt but sadly busts.
