He's a shot blocking machine 10-15 minutes of work is enough to give Jak some relief, at the very least he adds legitimate depth to the rotation.

There’s an update on Poeltl tomorrow. I’m curious if he’s out for the year.

Ducking the tax will still be easy for Bobby even with having a 15th guy on a NBA deal, so adding some C depth here was a no brainer.

It’s probably bad if they’re resorting to signing Mo Bamba sadly.

I used to be a big fan of his potential. His measurements are astronomical,he also has shooting range, combined with his interior presence gives him unicorn potential, but I think that he suffers from a Serge/ Precious like lack of wherewithall.

Overall, I'm quite excited about this signing! We desperately needed this ages ago.

he was at the game at least, I don't think he'd be there if his back was in bad shape.

Oh well. We are desperate.

I'm guessing Jakob could be out for the season.

I hate Mo Bamba as a player. Talented but lazy.

Also, Poeltl’s back must be cooked.
