Another good deal by Phil.

Now give me Jeff Taylor.

Great deal. Future asset. Can defend, rebound, shoot from midrange. Phils having a good offseason.

This is a good deal, O'Quinn never got much time in Orlando, and produced well from what I saw. Another one of those low risk, but good upside moves.

Local kid, bruiser. If he turns into an enforcer of some sort, that would be great.

Phil Jackson is building a team based on being tough - I like it.

Another decent young piece. Not a fan of the 4 years though, but beggars got beg.

Next year the 4M will be around 2M. That's cheap as heck. This is a great contract. I'm pumped.

I remember a bunch of us wanted him a few years ago in the draft.

Hasn't he slowly expanded range to beyond the line? Remember him playing out there last year some with the Magic.

Since a few people wanted Tobias, Phil got you another new yorker. :lol:

Good, we needed another big. Especially one that can grab rebounds, decent shot blocker too.

Think we need a backup SG now.

You guys will love him. He works hard and is a big body to have. Will hit some midrange and is an above average passer for a big man. Surprise magic didn't keep him especially at that price..
