    Yao was listed at 7'6". Standing next to Ralph Sampson, listed at 7'4", he does look much taller. Or they lied about Sampson's true height.

    The three guys on the left suffered debilitating injuries. If you consider Howard's back issues to be career threatening.

    Every time you post, RoyToy, it's depressing.

    I mean, your posts are often depressing enough (I kid), but whenever I see your sig...

    Bucks have waived Gustavo Ayon. He's a better Big than Freeland (was better in ACB, has been better in the NBA). Worth our 15th roster spot? I'd rather have Ekpe Udoh, but I guess now the Bucks are more likely to keep him.

    That's salt in the wound. Where does that come from?

    (It's funny that, if you had to ask someone who didn't know either who was the elder of the two, they'd probably pick Oden.)

    Mazgov resigned with the Thuggets for three years. Great move for Denver. This kid has serious potential.

    I haven't seen Gustavo's ACB stats. You have those handy?

    Further repudiation of Karl. Karl played Koufos ahead of both McGee and Mosgov - they give away Koufos and give Mozgov a fat extension.

    That WAS a fat extension for Mozgov. I figured he would get a 2 year deal at 3.5 MIL a year. But 3 years at 14 MIL? We had no chance (not that I thought we really did).

    Here you go. I just remember that he was at or near the top of the ACB's "Ranking" stat.

    It is funny that 3 posters spelled Timofey's last name 3 different ways. Who is right? I think I am but haven't looked yet. You can easily misspell his first name too, crazy!

    I thought on espn twitter they said only teams with cap room could put a claim for him.

    Denver has been a train wreck this offseason. They fire the coach of the year. They sign and trade away their best player for Randy Foye. They trade away their starting center for a backup PF. They spend their cap space on another backup PF. Oh yeah and their second best player had ACL surgery so he is likely out for the bulk of the season. I have no idea how people are penciling this team in for the playoffs, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re one of the worst teams in the west.

    I doubt we make a play for him (we seem intent on keeping our last spot open after waiving T. Harris) but we do have like 1.1 MIL free if I am remembering correctly plus the 2.5 MIL exception (which I don't think comes into play here?).

    The problem with Denver begins with their front office. Kroenke's son was given the keys to the franchise and is making Bert Kolde-like decisions. Letting Ujiri go to Toronto was a terrible decision.

    ...except they've just turned around and signed a Ukrainian center. I thought I knew a little EuroHoops, but I'd never heard of the guy. So: can we have Ekpe Udoh NOW? (Do we have any cap space left to absorb him?)
