Again, anyone wanna take a stab at what kinda money we're talking about in order to bring this kid here? Wes Matthews got 5 yrs, $34M from Portland..We looking at more than that perhaps? At what point does LA draw the line and say that's it do you think? You know they're gonna want to keep him..

Just curious..I do like him but if we're throwing around big money for a guy I'd like a fairly complete game or at least signs that he's on his way..

Ive watched him a lot this year. His offense really is limited to opportunities at point blank range but so was Shaqs and Dwight Howards when they were young. Hes leading the league in FG% and when he gets it down low(and he has good hands) its almost a a certainty that he will connect. I suspect we will see 2-4 games this year when he scores 25+. This guy is just getting rolling.

Does he have any kind of hook shot that he can go do down low? I would also think that he'd have to work on some kind of short turnaround shot using the backboard at some point.

Let's face it though, if the guy can give you 10-12 RPG, block about 3/game, play decent D against the other team's big, and finish on a pick and roll, what more would you want from a center on a team (the Knicks) with the other scorers we would have surrounding him?

Actually Nene is leading the league in FG pct, and he is no where in the Howard, Oneal subject whatsoever.

He's a solid guy for a half cout offense, but he would get very limted minutes under MDA, if any at all. your right briggs he has no offense game beyond 5ft of the basket, and he is not dominate enough to do much. He's a couple of steps ahead of Thabeet

Hes a lot closer to Howard than Thabeet

he is UFA and why would you want to play for the Clips?

AH. Missed that part. Go get 'im Donnie! This is EXACTLY what we need.

They are at a 51mm cap right now for next year--not including 3 holds--one of which will be a 2mm+ draft picks--so lets say 54mm. Depending on how he rolls the rest of the year--he could demand a contract north of 10mm--are the Clippers going to go into that area?

Why not continue to play with them, especially if they continue to progress as a team. They have some nice talent on that team, despite the history of disappointment associated with the franchise.

Maybe he wants to be one of the player pioneers who helps lead the Clippers into respectability.

Always hard for outsiders to gauge how a guy on another team really feels about that team.

That's true.

There is also the Kaman factor.

And the 11-24 factor.

Knicks are VERY close to being an elite team with 1 or 2 more moves. LAC is not.
