    Good thing is he's 7' and 240 lbs...went to Wake Forest then Kentucky. looks like he's only 23 years old. Building for the future if he pans out. I like this pickup much better than Didi waiving a towel

    I hope he does a good job of rebounding and passing the ball to Dame during training camp.

    Looks like we waived Norvelle Pelle because of this...

    Yup..just read we waived him....he's 30 years old and we found a 23 year old looks like to fit the timeline of Sharpe and Nas and Ant.

    Had to google what and Exhibit 10 contract was. WOW am I excited for this signing.

    Imo, with Nurk playing for Bosnia right now, he should be spending most of training camp learning sets, going through drills, shooting 3s, maybe 10mpg in the preseason. That should mean PLENTY of time to see if Sarr has a chance of panning out.

    It will be interesting to see if Cleveland and Minni can force the league to trend toward a 2 big lineup again.

    If he is on a 2-way, he may prove to be a huge signing just by virtue of being the only guy at his size outside of Nurkic. Hits a few 3s in a string of games, and I fully expect them to convert it to a full deal. At 23 and plenty mobile, Chauncey can still mold him into being a serviceable rim protector.

    Let’s see what he brings. I don’t expect him to be a starter, but I remember when randos like Mo Speights and Aron Baynes would be killing us off the bench. It’d be nice to have one of those on the team.

    Again some will call this cheap but I call it smart. If he doesn’t pan out they don’t go over the tax. Leaves them able to make that decision at a later date.

    Haha. Every time he blocks a shot the Blazers play-by-play guy should yell 'SARRY'!

    Well, I definitely like that he is working on that fade away. I am sure some will say he starts out too low, but I doubt many will block it. He has skills for sure. He could be a good prospect. My guess is he will put on another 10 lbs of muscle over time. I think he needs it.

    He's pretty good from the elbow ....reminds me of a young Lamarcus with his jumper ...built like Skal Labisierre

    I was just thinking he reminds me of Skal. Good comparison.
