    It is.

    Parsons
    Gasol
    Pachulia

    These were the top targets. Now Neil is going to max out Festus.

    Nice wing span at almost 7'6", but his standing reach is less than Cliff Alexander.

    The fans panicking about every move is where the only real panic is. You real think that them going after Ezeli after 4 days of nothing is them "panicking"??? They like him. He's young. They need a defensive center that can finish around the rim. He fits the bill. He does have injury issues but that's probably the reason we might be able to get him. Not everything is a panic move.

    How? We havent signed anyone yet and he is a young good defensive center. Likely the best left on the market

    It screams smart use of resources to do our due diligence to me since at this point dude wants to play for us and fits a need.

    Cliff can dislocate his shoulder at will like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

    Ezeli is a way better choice than every Center not names Whiteside/Howard so lets stop with the BS. The only reason we didnt go after him earlier is because he's a RFA, and once Durant signed with Warriors, he was avail

    Interesting theory. I hope you are right. But you have to admit these stats don't exactly get you excited:

    Edit: OK his stats at the beginning of the season look pretty good. (Before the injury)

    I listened to the whole quick interview and I didn't hear him say anything about 20 mil.. Or a number at all unless I completely missed it

    Quick mentioned that he's gonna go thru a physical and get a medical eval.

    Given that there are few teams (if any) with cap space left that need a center, Neil should and likely will take that into consideration when offering him a deal. Given his knee history, I can't believe he would get a 4-year deal at $20M per.
