Good on him for sorting himself out, and getting back out there. Considering what we got him for....this is totally a no-risk / big reward no-brainer. I'm not thinking "all-star" here or anything....but how about a serviceable 7-footer? I'd take that.

Sad that he can't spread the floor. Means it's gonna be hard playing he and AD together.

A player who will probably see the floor 15 minutes a game. Think that through for a minute. That's where we are.

I said that on youtube, but got laughed at, didn't mention McGee-Howard, them saying be the worst Center combo ever, but at least this pushes AD to the 4 spot, which Is the reason for It :)

Woods, Hayes, Koloko, Woods will hopefully play minutes once healthy ? :)

Haha I dunno man at least the GB you'd expect will be full of basketball heads, YouTube is a mixed bag

Trying to be optimistic here, it's the same song for AD at PF or C. We all know he'll get majority of his minutes at the 5 but yeah doesn't hurt to have different play styles at 5 in spurts when AD is at the 4

This is our quick footed 7’ prospect to guard Wemby and Holmgren going forward. 7’5” wingspan, slender, very mobile, plays longer than 7’0”.

If the blood clot issue truly is resolved, we might just have lucked out a bit. 24 years old.

Would've preferred that to be Jaxson Hayes but hey, not bad to have enough big man depth

I think one of our three centers (Wood) will be packaged with D Lo in February.

For what though? Dlo has no value. He's an expiring contract, and nothing else. Same with either of these 3 centers. So it's not like someone's gonna give us something "good" in return. We're just gonna get something not expiring. Not unless there's a pick heading out with him as well.

Maybe he's part of a 3-way...to make salaries work? But we'd have to get equal-ish salary back, so even that doesn't make sense. I think we're stuck with DLO. Unless we give up a pick. Otherwise....what does anyone stand to gain? DLo and our FO have been trying for over a year to ship him somewhere that wants him. Nobody does. Certainly not for the price he's asking.

D Lo’s expiring will be attractive to a tanking team in February.
