Has to mean Onuaku is gone.

If we're ditching both Onuaku and Thomas that'd have to mean Anderson is ready to play, right?

Not necessarily. Stiemsma seemed to fare well against fellow lumberers Gasol and Kaman. And Amundson was already in Los Angeles staying in shape plus he played for the team at the end of last season, so he could suit up and get minutes tonight.

First real vet with a little wisdom, on the roster.

Does he still have the ridiculous afro?

If so, I'm a fan of this signing

This is a good towards the end of bench signing. He's not great, but he's a lot better than Lance Thomas IMO.

He and Aminu could have a fro-off

I'm just happy I won't have to see Lance Thomas get meaningful minutes.

This says more about Reke not being available than anything having to do with Lance Thomas to me.

Amundson was signed to fill the Thomas void. Going to suck if Childress comes off the bench and Rivers starts racking up more DNP-CDs again. However, it's nice to have some safety valve at the 3 if we don't want Morrow playing there.

He is a 3. I don't think he really plays though

I'd hope we aren't paying him much more than the vet minimum. I think he's still getting his amnesty payout from Phoenix.

It's definitely the minimum. It's not like teams are lining up to sign anyone still on the market right now.
