    Being a Magic fan, I know this guy is a waste a money unless your looking for someone who spends entire season on the injured list. I don't know what the Sixers see in him.

    Considering he's most likely a veteran minimum player, he'd be a good pickup. He's a legit 7 footer that does nothing but hustle on the court. He isn't the most skilled player out there, but he'll be worth the money if he stays healthy.

    Yea...he's probably worth the veteran minimum....but thats it lol. He can probably give u a good 2-3 midrange jumpers in a game, not much more

    Id rather take Tyrone Hill than Andrew DeClerq.
    I have no idea why Billy even considers taking Andrew? He should let a scout look for some tall euro and sign him. Maybe we get lucky and get a special player who can contribute right away.

    tyrone hill? i'd take tyrone hill back, sure. he's a great rebounder, but i dont know how he's going to do because of his age.

    that's what i have always been saying! [​IMG] i dont understand why BK isnt looking at evans at all. he is a good rebounder and does the dirty work. i actually would sign evans in stead of hunter.
