DJ Mbenga

He finishes his ten day contract with the Lakers on Sunday. I don't think LA is planning on signing him to another. If Perk is injured this would be the time to give DJ a 10 day contract.

I would like to sign him, but you know Danny and his chemistry issues.

first thing that came to my mind... I hope he doesn't spin any techno.

This guy wouldn't provide us with anything.
He would waste cap space, and ride the bench all season long.

Give this guy another chance. I saw that he is another Miki Moore in the making

It would at least be interesting to see what having KG as a teammate can do for Mbenga. I'd be willing to sign him to a 10-day contract too just to see what he can do while Perk is out.

DDB is so right. The guy sucks, Mbenga, Esteban "The Beasta" Batista sucks, as does The Birdman.

This obsession with Mbenga is approaching Luke Walton love.

And the birdman is not the answer either.

With KG and Perk out, I don't know why the Celtics wouldn't want to give a NBDL guy like Rod Benson (12/12) a 10 day contract, though. If for no other reason than to give Powe and Davis someone to bang around with in practice I think he'd be worth a look.

No, he couldn't stick with Washington, but they have Haywood and Etan, plus a couple of other big guys waiting in the weeds, so Benson not sticking doesn't surprise me. Benson and Powe know each other, and appear to have been friendly, so I doubt bringing him in would disrupt chemistry or anything like that. If he couldn't take the 12th spot on the bench, then after 10 days we send him back down. It wouldn't even cost the C's much money...and it's Wyc's money not ours, so why not?

Sorry guys. As per the wiretap, the DJ has been signed by the Lakers for the remainder of the season. There was no way on earth that such talent would be without a club for long. I guess Danny Ainge has slow reflexes...

"He's GO--OO-OO-OO-OO-NE OHOHOH WHY-- GOTTA LEARN HOW TO FACE IT!!

HE'S GONE! (HE'S GONE!) WHAT WENT WRONG?"

See you in the finals, eh, DJ?

You're preaching to the choir here, friend. But there are those out there who have not seen the light.

It's not looking very promising. At least, I haven't heard a thing about Andersen lately. He'd be a great fit here. If Perk is out for extended period, though, I think we'd need more size. Andersen is more of 4 than a 5.
