BTW, I don't trust Nene. He seems injury prone and doesn't impress me when I watch him. He's overrated.
He doesn't block/alter or attempt to block enough shots and he doesn't grab enough rebounds either. But he is strong and is developing decently on the offensive end. He also played Duncan decently for a stretch. Having said that I think Ariza's ceiling is higher than his, and even in a trade for crawford I think Crawford is much more talented than him. I can see all-star potential in Crawford, I dopn't see that in Nene.
Having said all of that, I would welcome him gladly to our squad if we got him.
Nene has barely had any playing time so far. Whenever he gets 35-40 mins he scores 20 and gets 12 rebs. He is a very good defender, rebounder that has the ability to block shots. He is definately a better choice than Sam Dalembert and such.
Milwaukee offered Michael Redd for Nene in a trade at one point this season. Thats where he is rated, on the level of Redd. I really doubt Crawford is as good as Redd is right now. Nene has unbelivable upside. He can turn into an elite Center that can easily rank over Eddy Curry etc. He is constantly improving in every aspect of the game and is showing signs of a post offense. He is 6-11 and 260 lbs and can seriously bang with the best of them.
Oh yea. He is also 22 years old!
