Won't look good when you actually see him play. He's a terrible player.
Fair enough

Greg wasn't exactly Wilt the Stilt out there either

But like ATL said, I don't see this making any sense (for Anjica or for the franchise) without a trade coming soon

Bench needs scoring tho.

Plays decent defense.

Doesn't rebound so maybe chief gets paired with him.

Greg and Rivers for Chandler.

Den gets guard they liked and cap relief to sign Hamilton unless he commands more than 5 million per.

It's hard to look bad when it's highlights and you have someone with a british accent narrating, but hopefully he's improved. He definitely looks like he'd be a guy the defense would have to account for as opposed to Stiemsma parking at the 3 point line and teams sagging off him. Maybe this is a "if we can't be good on defense lets get better on offense" move.

The rest is: That's worth all the Euroleague offers or, for that matter, the NBA's.

Must have impressed Dell a lot

Man, I like Withey, but they must have no faith in him at all

Also, i'll pour one out for Hartley

We can and presumably are paying up to $500k towards this. This is definitely not a 10 day/short term depth move. Either a trade is coming or Demps thinks he found his next Ayon and will figure out what to do with everyone else later.

We haven't had a likable foreign player since Songalia, I'm on board

I'm guessing this is an Ayon deal, where we get him and showcase him for a year before flipping him as part of a deal.

Goose looked pretty good for us that year before we flipped him to Orlando as part of the Anderson deal.

The difference with a Ajinca though, is that he's not a "find" by Demps. Everyone knows who he is and that he was a huge bust. Presumably anybody could have had him if they wanted him.

Hefty price for a player that isn't good like ppl on here are saying.

He is respected for his last year.

Monty said they had too many wings so this move makes sense based on that.

Nobody on here has seen him play in the last 2+ years and barely saw him play while he was in the NBA. There's no way for any of us to predict how this will turn out.

I vaguely remember some analyst talking about him improving a couple months ago, but can't remember who or where it was, so I'm having trouble finding it.

Vasquez played his arse off, as well. Dude was likable even with his flaws.

Aminu is a likable guy, too.

He looks skilled to me.

Can't find any highlights of him rebounding unless offensive lol
