Looks way better than the stiffs , they have at center now , not named Nurk. But he's restricted. So they'd have to give up one of their prized lesser assets. Probably not gonna happen.

...and nearly 250 lbs. An actual big. Now, could he actually play?

Dad joke for the win.

The judges would have also accepted Vasco De Gama, as hinted earlier in this thread.

You know, according to 23andme, I am about 25% Portuguese, so feel free to answer with "Prunetang" next time someone asks for a mediocre Portuguese person.

Since you are just 25% Portuguese, we will take the "Da" from our old friend Vasco and just rename you "Daprunetang"

All I watched were the highlights here, and my guess is not really as he seems slow and stiff... a poor man's Gobert maybe?

btw, the measurements I listed were from the 2019 combine. His weight then was 226

What is the rule with two way contracts? Are we allowed to sign him outright to an NBA contract without compensating the Queens or do we have to negotiate with them?

He looks physically impressive with decent footwork, but otherwise a bit slow and raw (especially for 24). He would be fine for the 13-15th player on the roster. Give him a year or two at the end of the bench practicing with real players and we can see if he becomes anything. If he is a taller, more athletic Eubanks, then it's a good move.
 
His game is the anti-version of what is currently on the roster. He is a bit slow and rough around the edges, but he does have good bounce and he does the things that Nurk and Eubanks don't do. He has very little finesse although he shows good footwork at times. He tries to dunk everything and contest every shot. His one exceptional skill is passing.
I think he would be a very good investment and just needs minutes because he has improved every year and is a true center that can at least match up size wise against other bigs.
I know Eubanks is no longer on the team, btw.

Yes - Portland would have to sign him to a 'real' contract. Kings would have 2 days to match if they want to keep him.

Here's another one. I guess SAC can match, but my guess is they would let him go if we signed him to an actual NBA contract (rather than a two-way).

He's not eligible to play on a 2-way with Sac at this point.

Kings are far enough below the tax & only have 14 roster spots filled. I would assume they would match, but either way it would be a low-risk thing for Portland to offer a contract.
 
POR has some great young talent 6'5 and under. Going to get killed down low and on the boards. I may have to reassess my 35 win season prediction.
 
Center minutes over the last few years:
  • Jusuf Nurkic
  • Drew Eubanks
  • Trendon Watford
  • Cody Zeller
  • Larry Nance
  • Enes Freedom
  • Hassan Whiteside
  • Zach Collins
  • Skal Labissiere
  • Wenyen Gabriel
  • Meyers Leonard
  • Ed Davis
  • Mason Plumlee
  • Noah Vonleh
A real who's who of bigs right there. Would love starting center and center depth to be an area of focus, though I think the FO views punting on center as a feature and not a bug.

Height in shoes:
Shaedon Sharpe 6' 5.25"
Jabari Walker 6' 8"
Kris Murray 6' 8.75"
Rayan Rupert 6' 7"
 
Pretty sad when you're not needed because your team acquired JeVale "Shaqting a fool" McGee. If we were better I'd be more interested in Nerlens Noel, but there's no point in signing anyone old at this point unless they're a Udonis Haslem type.
