    I still would love to see us go after Vanderbilt. I think that depends on the Jazz giving up though. Keon and a minimum guy works salary-wise.

    We'd be committing to small-ball (other than lineups with Nurk), but between him and Gary our ability to switch, steals, and blocks would skyrocket. He's slim, but I think that we have some thick 3/4s that could be paired with him (Nas and Justise). Also, he'd be awesome next to Grant in small-ball units given how great of a rebounder he is.

    Yes, he is good and young which is why the Jazz wanted him in the trade in the first place. I am pretty sure they want to keep him.

    And I'll tell him that one was started back in February, one was started immediately after the draft and was about all UDFA's, and one was started today specifically for this signing, so they're all valid, and we're not merging them into the Melo thread.

    Fortunately for him, the Blazers are averaging like 5 players on the injury report per game, so he's got a decent shot at some PT.

    I remember having similar success at that age against Darrall Imhoff and Dale Schlueter one afternoon.
    Probably should not have trashed talked Darrall about giving up 100 to Wilt

    I’d love to learn that in Ibou Badji‘s native Senegal “ji” is a slang word for “ass”.

    Just tweet it, along with a picture of him and some quotation marks, and it'll become fact soon enough.

    What is up? You have been the biggest Nurk homer around. Is this some reverse psychology to get all the nonurk believers to buy in?

    be careful what you wish for! If were going to translate that part then the whole name must be translated and what it bad means pimple? Or sloppy? Or Soft???

    walking a slippery slope my friend!

    In English that word is CJ. Fortunately that is now the Pelicans problem.

    Yeah, I thought Sarr had potential. Maybe the injury is severe...
