    Was he born in America? Is he a center?

    He'd really be a very good center for us if his knees hold up. Rim protector and good finisher inside. But that's a big off. He's played 80 games in the last 3 years, and that's with playing under 20 minutes per game.

    So good thing it's only 2 years.

    Sucks as a post up, but that rim FG% is far higher than anyone else on our roster.

    Or since Ezeli couldn't get more than $8M a year he wanted a shorter deal because he thinks he'll make more money when he's a free agent two years from now.

    WOW! I was leary of him if it meant renouncing any of our RFA's but this is a great signing at that price.

    Seems like Neil has been doing a lot of solids for a lot of agents the last couple of years. So when are all those solids going to come due?

    68% 0-3. Not sure how the 60% was calculated.

    Dame came in and put a bunch of wood on Ezeli's fire and just walked away. He wants to play here which I think is my favorite thing about him.

    I'm seeing why getting Turner was so important..... can someone say Splash Bros 2.0?

    We could offer Sacremento a HUGE boatload for Cousins and still have good depth. Something like Leonard, Plumlee, Crabbe, Vonleh, our 2017 first round pick and CLE's 2018 1st round pick for Boogie and Temple might get a deal done at the deadline and we'd still have a good rotation:

    Lillard / CJ
    CJ / Temple (or Connaughton)
    Turner / Harkless
    Aminu / Davis
    Cousins / Ezeli
