As much as I think Cole Aldrich could be a good pick-up, I struggle to accept that a guy who never averages more than 16 MPG commands a 10M salary. Why has he never had the chance to play more? Why does he never stays somewhere? Big question marks.

He was not very good at all until his last year in Bos, then he really got in great shape for the Clips and played really well but he plays behind Jordan who plays a ton of minutes and rarely gets injured. Some C's can blossom late, not saying he will be anything spectacular but he might fill some key needs on D

You mean Knicks not Boston i think. I see his defenive potential Definitely. But despite the craziness of this year's free agency 10 Millions/year makes me feel physically bad.

when not very good or broken down C's are getting 16-17 mil per IMO 10 mil would be a friggin steal!
 
I would rather start Leonard than Plumlee at this point so if we are not going to trade for a center, I am okay with Signing and starting Cole.

If we sign him at whatever price, I will trust NeO's judgement. That's always what I do before seeing the guy play.
 
Cole Aldrich, superstar, taking Rudy Gobert to school.

Not only are his offensive numbers elite, he blocks over 3 shots and grabs more than 13 rebounds per 36. He looks like a bonafide all-star based on his stats. I know the Blazers are into stats, so you'd think they'd be taking a hard look at Cole. They've been wanting a center that can score in the post.

Check out the block at 1:27

Very nice low post moves. Mobile. I know the guy can play but his age and all his team switches would make me unconfortable. How good of a team mate is he? I don't have the answer to this question because I don't know him obviousely.

If we get Aldrich, we'd have 4 players from the 2010 lottery on our team.
 
Tyler Johnson stinks. I don't see the upside in his game for that cash. I guess the Nets need to spend their cash someplace.

similar "Crabbe type" numbers last yr and is an SG, may help set Crabbe's price area
 
The good sign is that the Nets probably wont have the time to try to lure Crabbe with an offer sheet.
 
And it looks like the 76ers are going in heavy on Jamaal Crawford.
 
And Sacramento got Afflalo. They were the 4 teams reportedly intersted in trying to get Crabbe...

Wow Trey Burke for a second round pick is a steal.

I thought so too, thought it might have been a good move for Blazers, but would have eaten $3.4 mil out of cap space, guessing we have that pledged somewhere right now and couldn't be involved in that trade.
 
Cole Aldrich 3 years 22mil to Minnesota. Scratch Minny off Gasols list.
 
Scalma said:
Thank god I don't have to hear more about Aldrich' advance stats.

I'm guessing they cut Pekovic but maybe this makes Dieng more available?

I just had same thought... What about sign and trade Crabbe for Rubio and Dieng?
