    Anytime you can put a vet on your team you do it. Now we got some good veteran leadership that can help Dame and CJ out that department. Pau still can play maybe not like when he was younger but can secure some wins for us.

    We now have very few players on our roster that aren't at least fairly reliable from three. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

    I guess this means he HAS to play C here as there is apparently some invisible barrier constructed 4 years ago which is preventing him from playing PF.

    He's insurance and a locker room presence. I like the signing.

    I hope he doesn't play a single meaningful minute this season, barring blowouts. If he does, this season took a turn for the worse.
    He is strictly an on-the-bench coach for Zach, Nurk, Hassan, and Skal.

    Excellent signing for his knowledge and experience.
    Awful signing if we have to rely on winning games with him.

    Right? I'd love to see him on the court WITH either Whiteside or Nurk. I believe he compliment both of them on the offensive end.

    I'm still mad at him for fucking up Rudy's dunk contest dunk so many times because he kept throwing the ball around his back and missing the spot on the back of the backboard, lol...

    I guess the barrier is that he runs as fast as I do (not fast) at this point in his life. :)

    I actually want Pau to play 10 min/game or so. Just enough to come in, cause some mismatches and take the other team out of rhythm, then rest again.
