    I've been asking for him for years, ever since he was in college. He's the exact player we need, a defensive C, maybe the greatest defensive awareness I've seen from a C, with solid offensive game, needs work on free-throws but can improve.

    It's possible to sign him and he fits the same thinking like signing Harkless or bringing Vonleh, he played sparingly for GS but always made them better when he was on the floor.

    I've been watching the NBA for the past 30 years. David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon own that honor!

    I've liked/like Ezeli too; like BlazerDuck... ^ quoted, "...maybe the greatest defensive awareness I've seen from a C..." IDK either about that but he is decent on D & O & I think he'll improve nicely also. He'd b/will an excellent big off the bench that CAN fill in IF a starter big goes down. He's ~25 so he can grow w/ our guys & would have great chemistry IMO. If we can get him for ~$2million/yr. (I'd give him a 4 year deal as high as $3million/yr)... THAT would b a sweet deal for us!:bgrin:

    Festus and Tim Frazier would be unstoppable.

    Festus Ezeli?

    Sounds like a Zydeco band.

    He's a restricted free agent and Golden State can match.

    In the summer of 2016.

    We are letting a fetus play basketball? That'll really get the pro life group involved!
