    Im just saying... He would absolutely be part of an 8 man rotation on most playoff teams. That's good value at the minimum

    He had been projected by some to be #1 pick

    Cody good enough to start. I wonder if Nurk is gone.

    I agree with you about value, I just wouldn't point out that he's a better FT shooter than Shaq as the reason why.

    People are fogetting about the 20 games he cost us! Add 20 wins to last year, plut 0.5 wins for Zeller, and this is team could push 70!

    LoL…Nice argument, maybe we should also sign Kwame Brown! He was a #1 pick.

    He is good pickup for the min. Zellars defense rating was pretty good last year matter in fact his defense rating was solid throughout his career. For backup in my opinion it's upgrade over kanter if he stays healthy.

    Zeller is injury prone and so is Nurk, we may need another backup C with these two

    you could keep Enes as an insurance policy big for probably the money Melo made last season....or bring back Giles...last season Melo made 2 mil and change...Kanter made 5.9 mil....offer him 2 and change to be a 3rd string big..Enes doesn't seem to be high maintenance for minutes...

    He’s solid for a vet min signing. He’s okay on both end of the floor. He can pass a little but not much. His defensive rating was okay at 111.7. Decent free throw shooter. Good rebounder. Good 2 point field goal percentage. Seem to me to be a guy that does a lot of little things right. For a vet min signing, he’s solid!
