32 YO, just came off a season with the Mavs where he scored 23 per36 on 59% from the field. (almost 11 points in just 16 minutes per game, crazy stat).

He's not what he used to be, but the guy is still a gifted scorer for a big man.

He's also a very mediocre rebounder and a terrible defender, so Spo better only play him next to Whiteside to hide weakness and maximize his talent.

To sum up - Great value addition for the vet Min. Should be followed with an addition of true defensive Center - something we still lack besides Whiteside.

Need him to just beat up other teams bench bigs, and he can do that in limited minutes

Our bigs look good... But it seems somebody gotta go.

This is a terrific signing. It gives us Bosh insurance if he's slow to recover because Amare, for all his shortcomings, still can score at a near elite clip. He and Dragic should also be fantastic together.

I imagine this means that Andersen and Chalmers are goners, the roster numbers and the tax considerations just make it overly obvious.

Some people may question this but we're not signing him to be a starter or defend. As a backup he's still a very capable and efficient scorer.

We could do far worse for the vet min. Excellent signing.
