    Well, he cannot really move anymore, but maybe he can give 5-10 mins if needed till Nurk is back.

    Surprising.

    Not sure he's much more than injury insurance, but like that we have a big that can pass now.

    If he comes back from his injury he's a great addition.

    Not surprising at all. This will be huge for Zach and Nurk. Zach should hold his pocket all year long. Perfect mentor. Assuming he will be healthy, a pretty ideal back up despite his age. Champion, can shoot, pass, defend. No complaints.

    In his 27 games with the Spurs last year he had a really nice TRB% and AST%. It's just gonna come down to if he's healthy enough to contribute.

    I’d be very pleasantly surprised if he was even close to a passable rotation player at this point. Feels like someone to help mentor our big guys more than anything

    Not a fan. Don't really see his addition being worth it. Feels like there are better vet min options out there at his position. Pretty much the same thing I feel about Tolliver. And Hezonja.

    I'm being pretty negative this offseason.

    What is it with you and wanting overpaid older big guys?

    I'm fine with that. Mentor and gets minutes when every other big on the team is fouled out or injured. Insurance.

    Because he's already been developed?

    Okay, I guess I have to be nice to him now that he's a Blazer.

    Portland could have signed someone cheaper so it’s nice to see a commitment, even through minor moves such as this one.
