    Dude has a huge upside. I would hate to give up too much to get him, but he has major talent. He just has not saw eye to eye with he 76ers since he joined them. Really think he could be a huge addition for us. I have heard Danny offered a 2nd round pick, but other then that, waiting for the 76ers to buy him out so that we can use the exemption that we were granted for the Hayward injury to pick him up. Hope he is not dealt elsewhere first, but I have a feeling he will be.

    I think he's the C equivalent of Durant. But as a C, his game is very limited: he is only effective close to the basket, and his defense is terrible. He's only 22, so I am sure he has some upside.

    The defense might be addressed with a good coach and teaching, though.

    I think he can grow up to be Zach Randolph. Good and bad.

    He is a talent. No defense yet, but he can score near the basket Reminds me of Eddy Curry early.

    Playing behind Noel early and now Embid does not help his cause

    Stevens is a good coach, however, being a Bulls fan, I would love to see him in Chicago. But Boston? Sure.
